After reading the above email that Tipsila had received, I realized that our friend Ashton may be panicking about the number of people that have called to listen to his answering machine recently.

I know I am the one from "Scranton" and so I decided that I should try to calm any storm that may be going on his mind .. so I wrote him the following ...

You are so right, I was the one from London. I was hoping there was a way to retrieve his messages using the 62.4 numbers he spoke of or some combination thereof but it didn't work. And I'm so glad you told him the magical words, I was going to if now one else did.

ETA: Good work guys, on handling Ashton.

I'm off to do some last minute Christmas shopping. Keep up the good work.

The letters and numbers on Ashton's drawing are the initials and ages of the victims and possible victims.

Code:

1716 1816 2220 29 1817 17 50 25
DFBLJ DFMM CSBH PS RDLE CJB KJ DL

David Faraday, 17
Betty Lou Jensen, 16

Darlene Ferrin, 22 (age on picture, 18 )
Mike Mageau, 19 (age on picture, 16) He survived the attack

Cecelia Shepard, 22
Bryan Hartnell, 20 He survived the attack

Paul Stine, 29

*possible victims:

Robert Domingos, 18
Linda Edwards, 17

Cheri Jo Bates, 17 (information I found states Miss Bates was 18 at the time of death)

Kathleen Johns, 50 (information I found states Kathleen Johns was 22 at the time of the incident. She escaped from harm.)

Donna Lass, 25

So, a couple of mistakes here, but only one that is just hard to see where he got that number.

ETA many thanks to Insanitarium for his great idea on the initials and numbers!

I received a reply from Ashton after I said I knew the skeleton was Zodiac.. He replied

Quote:

Dad is the skeleton. Can you find the skeleton?

After I was unsuccessful at finding the burial place for Arthur Leigh Allen, I found what Ashton wanted, and sent it to him. I am still waiting to hear back from him, so in the meantime, here it is.

This was a card sent by the Zodiac Killer to Paul Avery, a reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle.

MountainGirlXD: You're appreciated

I was caught off guard and couldn't record, but I got a call from Ashton. This is the bulk of the conversation. Anything I omitted was not in the scope of my quick typing ability. I think I got the important stuff though.

Quote:

MG: Hello?
Ashton: Is this MG?
MG: Yes.
Ashton: This is ashton I'm ok. I'm in Georgia at Dr. Joseph. A place I like. There's a cave I like.
MG: I like caves too.
Ashton: You live in a cave?
MG: No, I like caves. There's a cave I go to often. It's called the bone cave.
Ashton: Oh.
MG: Ashton, I need you to look for something. It's a page. It's very important.
Ashton: I know the one. It's on the ceilings.
MG: On the Ceiling?
Ashton: Yes, they're so loud.
MG: I know they're loud, sweetheart. But you know what? If you get rid of that page, you know send it to someone, it won't be loud anymore. Ashton: Really? It won't?
MG: No, darlin' it won't.
Ashton: I know where it is. It's under the cans.
MG: The can's?
Ashton: I had to hide it from him. His name is lupe. He's scared of the children .
MG: The children?
Ashton: The children of the father. They make all kinds of noise. I don't like it.
MG: I know you don't like it. It's awfully loud. If you send it to me it won't be loud any longer.
Ashton: So I can trust you?
MG: Of course you can, darlin'
Ashton: I'm at Dr. Jacob's friend's house.
MG: Can you send me the page, so it won't bother you any more? Ashton: If I send it it will go away?
MG: Yes
Ashton: OK, I'll send it to you.
MG: Thank you, Ashton. Be safe. It's ok. Everything will be alright. Ashton: OK, MG. Bye.

aim with mary

don't know if this is important or not, but when i got home this evening I had an aim from mary with the screen-name sunshinelove6782 and because i wasn't home to get the message the only thing it said was

Quote:

sunshinelove6782 (8:57:11 PM): hey. this is mary, we need to talk

but about an hour ago she contacted me using sunshinelove6783. I don't know if this is important or not or if it's the Sons of Loki playing games with us.

Caine warned us this might happen in his last blog entry:

Quote:

23:34 - THE TIME OF WAR IS AT HAND.

For those of you who have decided that the dangers that await you all in the near future are indeed very real, it is time for your first lessons of war.

The sons of Loki are planning on making their first move very soon.

They may try to contact you and attack.

DO NOT underestimate their power.

Quote:

sunshinelove6783 (10:35:52 PM): hey

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:36:14 PM): hello

sunshinelove6783 (10:37:05 PM): my brother says you're really cool. I make paper mache. I had a business for paper mache and brains, but it didn't work out so well.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:37:18 PM): sorry to hear that

sunshinelove6783 (10:38:16 PM): It's not your fault, I should have known it was a bad idea. Ashton is a bit disturbed as you could probably tell, but he is very smart and very imaginative too.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:38:35 PM): i can tell that he is
Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:38:45 PM): can you tell me more about him

sunshinelove6783 (10:40:58 PM): ok hold on one sec pls

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:50:44 PM): not much, just chatting with you. What are you upto

sunshinelove6783 (10:52:02 PM): In the movie beerfest they have to drink out of a boot.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:52:41 PM): personally, i don't think i would like that.

sunshinelove6783 (10:53:15 PM): Yeah. I wouldn't drink out of a boot. Gross.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:53:44 PM): so mary tell me about yourself

sunshinelove6783 (10:55:00 PM): I am a Taurus, I like waffles du fromage and my last date went really bad cause I accidentally set him on fire! And u?

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:55:25 PM): lmao, how did you set him on fire

sunshinelove6783 (10:55:35 PM): Bacardi 151.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:55:39 PM): lol

sunshinelove6783 (10:55:42 PM): I spilled it.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:55:49 PM): I'm an Aries

sunshinelove6783 (10:56:10 PM): Are u single?

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:56:56 PM): married

sunshinelove6783 (10:57:06 PM): Oh too bad.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:57:11 PM): why

sunshinelove6783 (10:57:15 PM): But no hard feelings.

sunshinelove6783 (10:57:41 PM): I was just curious, thats all.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:57:43 PM): ok
Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:58:12 PM): USHAKK
Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:58:32 PM): dang I can't type
Sylviaaaaaaaa (10:59:08 PM): Can you tell me why Ashton tapes his hands

sunshinelove6783 (11:00:07 PM): Cause the world is dirty girl.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (11:00:31 PM): so he's afraid of getting dirty

sunshinelove6783 (11:01:05 PM): Of course! That's why he can't hold the damn soap!

Sylviaaaaaaaa (11:01:33 PM): have you been over too his place lately

sunshinelove6783 (11:02:22 PM): just to drop off supplies. I don't stay long.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (11:03:56 PM): ok getting serious now, have you seen any strange papers around his place. for example one that says Lupeus III on it.
Sylviaaaaaaaa (11:04:28 PM): If you do, please don't use it in your paper mache projects

sunshinelove6783 (11:06:08 PM): Ashton is such a weirdo. Have you heard his latest message? He thinks he has friends.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (11:07:05 PM): not yet, but i will call him and i would like to be his friend

sunshinelove6783 (11:07:37 PM): He's going with his doctor to Georgia tonight.
sunshinelove6783 (11:07:57 PM): I think he wants to talk to everyone but he's scared.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (11:08:20 PM): what is he scared of

sunshinelove6783 (11:08:47 PM): Rejection? I donno. He's a freak.

Sylviaaaaaaaa (11:09:02 PM): I want reject him, who is his doctor
Sylviaaaaaaaa (11:09:16 PM): and why are they going to Georgia

sunshinelove6783 (11:10:50 PM): Dr. Joseph... He wants to visit some place in the middle of nowhere, I dunno. Like I said, the kids a freak. He saved money for it.

I just thought of something else that might have caused the problem. maybe the numbers 6783 has some sort of meaning and 6782 was a typo.

Safe.

I didn't like that place. I like being home. It's safe here. Dr. Jacobs was so odd. Dr. Murdoch too. I think they thought I needed a new doctor, but I don't. Dr. Murdoch needs a doctor. He got really sick in the plane. Dr. Jacobs too. Maybe they don't like flying. Maybe they have allergies. The ginger ale and peanuts were not good to them. I'm so glad to be home.

So the other day, after hearing that Ashton was to be released by the Sons of Loki - I sent the following email

Quote:

Ashton

Just writing to make sure that all is well.

Let me know.

Your Friend,
Chad

This morning I received a response ...

Quote:

The house was so dirty. No sleep. Gotta replace the cans on the ceiling. Gotta get lima beans a new friend. Lima beans isn't comfortable here anymore.

So after some back and forth, we learned ...

Quote:

He got into a car accident when he was driving one day. Got hurt real bad. He needs a new home, I can't take care of him with a dirty house.

So being the generous soul that I am, I offered to take care of Lima Bean. Would you like to meet him?

Then go here...
