The FBI are hoping new clues will point them in the direction of the journal of one of New York’s most infamous figures and the possible true killer of a man who had it in his possession for years. In 1986, the now-defunct publication known as The New Frontiersman printed the mad ramblings of Walter Kovacs, today better known as Rorschach. Pages from Rorschach’s alleged journal were transcribed and squeezed between a Sunbursts candy ad and an interview with a man Kovacs bit when they were children. It was ignored, as most things in The New Frontiersman were at the time. Shortly after the publication, the man who first found Rorschach’s journal, Seymour David --- an employee at the New Frontiersman, was found brutally beaten to death in his home.
Initially, the police believed it to be a break in gone wrong, leading to the arrest and conviction of Roger Jackson, a young thief who had evidence seemingly mounted against him. Now, in a turn of events, subsequent investigations are telling a different story. New information is pointing to Jackson’s innocence and that this robbery was not random at all.
At the centre of this mystery, which could be the key to finding the true killer, is what was missing from Seymour David’s hands when his body was found --- Rorschach's Journal. Where is it and what additional information does it hold that would cause someone to kill for it?
The FBI are tight-lipped, but Jackson’s attorneys have already filed a motion for the judge to overturn the jury’s guilty verdict.
