 		[UNSOLVED] Crime scene and graffiti photos
Just to have all the open puzzles in its own thread.

Any thoughts?

 		Location of the photographs
The security photos can be viewed here.
The barcodes on the recruitment poster and the work overalls (seen in asc_00546.jpg) appear to be a variant on Code-39.
Read backwards, the barcode on the overalls reads "JCJJ". Read forwards it reads "6676". Does the person in the picture match the barcode (employee number?) on the overalls?

The graffiti photo was initially posted by Monet Dabney here.
I can make out the letters C, O, M and E in the yellow logo, but that is probably co-incidental.

 		The yellow thing on the graffiti reminds me of a floorplaf for som sort of docking bay or something.

Beh, I don't know - I'm just being crazy.

Should we maybe keep the graffiti pic and security pics seperated in diffirent topics?

 		My thoughts
I do think the graffiti and security cam puzzles are separate. I suspect that there will be more information regarding the graffiti... I just don't see where any information can be hidden there... But alas, I am only 1 man, and so I hope everyone will poke around and decide on their own.

And I want to disagree with you about the Jupiter symbol in the blood. I do see a Nike Swoosh in there, but I am sure it has no relevance. Now, I don't really know what symbol you are talking about, but it looks like just a puddle of blood to me.

The blood shows finger and hand prints, like someone was grabbing at the floor (sign of a struggle?). I think there might be important information in the picture with no blood. There are some highly visible squares of static along edges, although they similar to the effect of a stlyized filter used elsewhere in the images that produces squares. But there is a difference... Look in the bloodly image, at the top green bar and orange beam going diagnal to the right. There are greyish blotches of static that is mixed with the colors below it. The grey static in the first image replaces the colors below it instead.

And what of the file names... are we to derive any meaning from them?
asc_005476.jpg - man walking image
asc_000987.jpg - bloody image
asc = Ares Security Camera... but what about the numbers...

EDIT: Fixed file names. I had them wrong before

 		the new MP3 says Simon's number is 6676, so it is him in the first pic. It's been suggested in IRC that it only shows someone wearing his coat... however are we really to believe that Mary would look at the barcode and not the person? She thought the photos proved Simon is guilty, so I think she must have recognized him.

 		Maybe she just had something against him?

 		Well, I was not suggesting that he is guilty, and the images surely do not show that he is the killer. So she may have something against him. But either way, she did think that he was guilty after seeing the pictures. What the image clearly shows is someone at the scene of the crime before it occured, and the scene afterwards. What I was suggesting is that she would be much more likely to recognize him rather than his barcode, and so if she considers this as evidence against Simon, we can assume that the man is much more likely to be Simon himself, rather than just someone wearing his jacket.

The sign for Jupiter looks very similar to the number 4.

 		Has anyone else looked at the static from either side of the security picture combined? It looks kinda like a chinese character to me.

It definitely matches up - the bit just above the main bit of static joins perfectly to the other side.

Any message here?

(Sorry if this has been discussed, I've not seen it, and I'm kinda new around here...)

 		No...
No... that has not been discussed, but it should start to be. It seems like some of the old possible clues have been put by the wayside when we probably should start paying attention to them again. We could be missing something important. Just my opinion.
