Off topic; If we should ever need to travel there, I live 4-5 hours from Owensboro. When the poster phase of this starts up, we may need to coordinate locations.

my writing is in quotes, LAX's are in italics.



"So far, as I understand it, someone filed a "missing persons" with your company and it just so happened that the "missing" person was Sarah Fisher (yes, I can find things out too) who was an old secret flame of yours. Sarah turned out to not be missing according to your company yet you took issue with their findings."
This is correct.

"First, I do wonder who would file a report of a missing person when the person in question is so easily identified as being, in fact, quite "found"."
That is what concerns me about the case. Something that the company that I work for does not want to look into for some reason. When I asked them about it, they told me to mind my own business and just file the report. So I did.

"You never said anything as to why you were unhappy with the outcome of the case. More importantly, you never said why such a report should have been filed with your company in the first place."
The first part has been answered above. The second is, I think, because the company that I work for has investigated the company that Mr. Young works for in the past. He knows what we do and probably wanted someone to watch over Ms. Young. But why?

"Next, I wonder at the seemingly non-chalent manner with which Mr Kain refers to the case itself while becoming more and more alarmingly upset with reference to yourself. Obviously, you of some importance to the company in that they investigate your involvement yet do not terminate or reprimand you for what they say are your possible offenses. Forgive me, I've never had a job whereby my employer would investigate my actions while retaining me as an employee!"
Mr. Kain has an ego when it comes to his investigations. He is a perfectionist at fault. He won't admit that without someone admitting their faults first, but he is. Mr. Kain believes that he has done a perfect job. I disagree with him.
As for my remaining employment, Mr. Kain does not have anything against me that I know of, only allegations. In this company, allegations are not a reason for termination. You can suspend someone for an allegation, but not terminate them. The reason for that is because of the repercussions that come from such an action. Fire the wrong person for no reason, and things will become known that shouldn't.

"Is Sarah truly "found" and in no dan ger? If so, what is there to be wary of in your company's actions?"
I believe I answered that earlier.
LAX



I have gotten nothing useable from KAIN

I believe, the avenue to go down is Jason Young.

Well I was doing a little searching around about the graffiti artists, and I came up with a studio in San Jose, California called Funk Lab Productions. This is a legit company, but every time I searched the artists it continually pointed towards Northern California (which looks to be a hotbed for graffiti and underground hip-hop).

Kiro, if it is the same person is part of the CTE crew:

CTE (Crazyer Then Ever), Los Angeles, CA
Members: Sler, Mode, Skor, Kaer, Dusk, Atmo, Hipes, Riddle, Brue, Nerd, C4, Paws, Heal, Nos, Four, Tens, Krio, Antik, Freaz, Mews (http://www.b-boys.com/grafcrews.html)

I do not know what this is showing, but that something is going to happen in California.

More to come.

War.

from my emails with Jack it is now known that we are looking for something that doesn't belong and also "No need to take names. There is no reservation needed for this solve"
so there goes my lead

if someone could find the original photo so we could compare, that would be gold

To further the search, look at the star on the left, we have come to a conclusoin that that is "out of place." The meaning of the star is still elusive. I have been trying to contact Jack, but it seems that he is not giving out any more hints.

He did send me this though:

Quote:
If I wanted to send someone a rose of a certain color which would represent "friendship" or "pure", I would probably go with another color.

More Later,

That was all that was in the e-mail, not had any contact with him in days (been 2 busy with uni work to even go on-line)

Oh and to me that looks more like a compass rose then a star: Idea

Well looking into the 4 point star, I found that is also know as a the crux stellata, or the star cross. Furthermore, it would seem that the four point star is relating to the north star, the "brightest star" the one we are supposed to wish upon.

Just for a refresher, when looking at dumbo, we have a story of a child being taken away from his mother, and then learning how to cope with his own self even when he continually looks down upon himself. Thus to make a long story short, dumbo recives a "magical feather" which he is made to think would help him fly. But dumbo soon comes to find that it was himself, and not the feather that has allowed him to fly. As we all know, Disney himself was quite religious and continually utilized the ideals of christianity in his work.

Though kind of out there, thought you might find this interesting: http://www.herbertwarmstrong.com/dumbo.htm

Quote:
You do not really need the tarot to access your Inner Guide. The cards serve the same function as Dumbo's magic feather. In the Disney movie, Dumbo the Elephant really could fly on his own, but he didn't believe it. He placed all his faith on the special feather he held in his trunk. He thought this feather gave him the power to fly, but he found out differently when it blew away, and he was forced to fall back on his own resources.

This might be a stretch, but it is some more info to add to your search. I have tried emailing Jack again to no avail.

Well, the North Star we are under is Polaris, but I haven't been able to get anything out of that.

http://ms.essortment.com/northstarastro_rmdz.htm
That's a link to an info page on the North Star; maybe someone can find something from it.

I've sent him an email including a recap and asking for some clarification. I also asked for Jason Young's contact information.

LAX updated the graffitti picture and added the numbers 25 & 14. SnW noticed that a colon between the numbers was also added.

I got this:

They have done what I have thought that they would. Now matter how many times I told myself that it couldn't happen, it did. I have only myself to blame for this. My contact with my friend has caused his fate. There is no other explination for it.


I suspect we have to try and read the bottom blue graffiti thing. Maybe the new numbers are hints for deciphering them (14=n, 25=y)?

Perhaps we are looking for a name, the name of his (dead?) friend?
