Miron, Psycholinguistics Re: UNSUB; Frank Sinatra ~ Victim Hobb's Act Photofacsimile of a one page communication addressed to World International, postmarked May 12, 1980 was tranemitted from the Atlantic City office for analysis. Demographic Profile of UNSUB Based upon an analysis of the content and style of this communication, it is my opinion that UNSUB is a caucasion male of foreign birth, who has resided in thig country for at least 15 years and is between 45 and 55 years of age. I am not able to determine the nationality of the author from the evidence in hand, however given the clear signs of psychological identification this UNSUB feels for the victim and the distinctive orthography, it 1s not impro- bable that UNSUB te of Italian origin. Given the content emphasis of money, it is most likely that UNSUB {ts unem- ployed or in a low-income, blue collar occupation. ’ In my judgment, UNSUB's threat does not reflect content characteristics which would imply either the means or the determination for action. The threat is, I believe, instead based on UNSUB's resentments over not being able to indulge himself with a trip he wishes to take. The communication has the form of a "sour grapes" rationalization of the privation UNSUB feels. Use of such defense and the gastro-intestinal form of the threat, imply that UNSUB is a dependent personality with inadequate and immature coping strate- gies. Such speculation further implies that UNSUB may tend toward alcoholism and other such letter writing activities. It is not unlikely that UNSUB has written similar anonymous letters to public officials and/or commercial institutions. The form of the threat is consistent with an interpretation of lack of sub- terfuge; i.e., use of re-mallers or disguised handwriting. I, therefore, conclude that UNSUB is a resident of the post-marked area. The unusual telephone calis to the advertised number for the referenced jfun- ket are entirely consistent with the behavior to be expected from this UNSUB. UNSUB probubly is an habitual lottery player and gambler, but, in my judgment would not be expected to have a criminal record.
