How We Deciphered a Postcard Related to a 100-year old Murder Case

In this video, we actually decipher a partially encrypted postcard that had been sent to Edward Snyder aka Edward F. Sands. He was among the suspects of a murder case 100 years ago. William Desmond Taylor was murdered and Snyder disappeared at that time.

I already made a video about a cipher of another suspect, Mary Miles Minter, a silent movie star. If you did not watch the video yet, please first have a look at it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0katKMm_mg

In the postcard, a friend sends a message to Snyder telling him the address "of a girl". We decipher the address and also give some background information on that particular girl.

The postcard was given to us by viewer "ThePookosh", who is also interested in the murder case and obtained the card via an auction.
