b"Whether it be hidden messages transmitted around the world from the hundreds of operating number stations, or the bizarre illustrations on the sheepskin pages of a medieval manuscript, unsolved ciphers and codes have been a compelling source of mystery for centuries. In the annals of true crime, cold cases like the Zodiac killer and the Somerton man have inspired people from around the world to come together and take up the challenge of solving their peculiar riddles. From national intelligence agencies, to armchair enthusiasts, breakthroughs have been made by individuals from across the spectrum of experience. One similar case has largely managed to escape the limelight, however, that of a late 19th Century man whose true identity was never known, hanged for murdering his wife, who left the world a series of unsolved ciphers that promised to unmask the whole mysterious affair.SOURCESFarnsworth, Cheri (2010) \\u201cAdirondack Enigma: The Depraved Intellect and Mysterious Life of North Country Wife Killer Henry Debosnys\\u201d The History Press, UK.\\nThe Citizen Examiner (1882) \\u201cDebosnys the tramp\\u2026\\u201d The Citizen Examiner, Wed 15 Nov, 1882.
