39N44 104W59
37N35 87W50
37N20 121W54
38N38 90W12

Giving us:

Then we:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Take the first letter of each city and google the result: LAVONDYSS

Which leads us to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A book by Robert Holdstock (Amazon link)

It's weird, but I found it....

Try googling cat and ion and see what you get.....I can't exactly tell you how I found the theory other than that, but it is there. Once you find the scientist's name, use it in the HTML as you did before:

 		did you see the various numbers when searching the different areas?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
on the TV, there's a 47
on the calendar in the bus station, there's a 13
on the letter from the post office there's a 52

if you punch in 471352 you'll get to a book
