FBI asks public for help breaking encrypted notes tied to 1999 murder - Polidicks

I think WLD are initials. [editline]29th March 2011[/editline] my automerge!

[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;28883915]yes facepunch, lets try to crack a encrypted message that not even the FBI can solve.[/QUOTE] Is the FBI sitting on the world's largest well of untapped autism? Didn't think so Facepunch is on the case

We also need to know if the victim was bi-lingual.

Finally, the perfect internet detective crime. Something that requires a lot of free time, doesn't require you to leave your home, and isn't impaired by severe autism.

I don't think autism can help you decipher a message. I believe it would do the opposite.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;28884739]Is the FBI sitting on the world's largest well of untapped autism? Didn't think so Facepunch is on the case[/QUOTE] autism the new unobtainium it can do anything except look you in the eye

"Dude, just for the record, a couple of other guys got in on the action too. Cheers!" De cyphered it.

[QUOTE=Teh_Spork;28884741]We also need to know if the victim was bi-lingual.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't think the victim being bi-lingual would have an affect on it. Mabye the murderer though.

[QUOTE=abananapeel;28884870]I wouldn't think the victim being bi-lingual would have an affect on it. Mabye the murderer though.[/QUOTE] When I read the article it didn't say if the victim or murderer wrote it. [editline]29th March 2011[/editline] I don't know if it's been changed or if I read it wrong though. [editline]29th March 2011[/editline] Nope, doesn't say. [editline]29th March 2011[/editline] There are also two notes (they should release the second one). I doubt a killer would write two notes.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;28884739]Is the FBI sitting on the world's largest well of untapped autism? Didn't think so Facepunch is on the case[/QUOTE] To be entirely honest, I've decoded it ages ago. I'm just too nervous to go talk to the FBI about it. What do I say? Will they think I did it if I can't look at them?

[QUOTE=Teh_Spork;28884919]There are also two notes [b](they should release the second one)[/b]. I doubt a killer would write two notes.[/QUOTE] They did. Check the source.

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;28884983]They did. Check the source.[/QUOTE] Sorry, forgot to check.

You fools! You damned fools! The clue's not in the patterns. It's in their frequency! The Frequency!

Just wanted to state that the WLD in the last sentence is different its 'WLD's' making a noun of some sort? that comes right after 194 or whatever it is. Maybe a place, (194)-Street number, WLD's House. maybe? Edit: WLD is also always bundled with NCBE (not quite) ( M N D M V N E A R S E – N – S T A – W N A R E ) ( A C S M ) T F R N E N P I N S E N P B S E R C B B N S E N P R S E I N C P R S E N R S E O P R E H L D [u]W L D N C B E [/u]C ( T F X L E T C X L [i]N C B E[/i] ) A L – P R P P I T X L Y P P I Y N C B E M G K S E [b]W L D R C B R N S E[/b] P R S E [b]W L D R B R N S E [/b] N T S G N E N T X S E – C R S L E – C T T R S E [u]W L D N C B E[/u] A L [u]W L D N C B E[/u] T G M E L B S E R L S E U R G L S N E A S N [u]W L D N C B E [/u] ( N O P F S E N L S R E N C B E ) N T E G D D M N S E N C U R E R C B R N E ( T E N E T F R N E N C B R T S E N C B E I N G ) ( F L R S E P R S E O N D E 71 N C B E ) ( C D N S E P R S E O N S E 74 N C B E ) ( P R T S E P R S E O N R E D E 75 N C B E ) ( T F N B C M S P S O L E M R D E L U S E T O T E [u]W L D N W L D N C B E[/u] ) (194 [u][b]WLD’S N C B E[/b][/u] ) ( T R F X L )

Count the number of times each pattern appears, SE: 25. An even number. WLM: 10. Even. Number. E alone: 25 I probably miscounted since it's so goddamn jumbled. Welms? Elms? Melws? Mew?

It seems pretty likely, I'm glad you saw that too.

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;28885251]25? That's not an even number.[/QUOTE] I think he meant divisible by 5.

That's pretty crazy

It obviously does mean something. If you look during the past killings he was sending these throughout spree, and some of them have been cracked.
