Day 4
Websites:
Videos
Main Video - Andrew is talking about Applebee's in the puzzle for today. Detective Kinlan sends an e-mail to Christina which contains a video from the kidnappers. The video has Andrew holding today's newspaper saying "Please listen to me. These men are serious, please follow their instructions. It's all elemental!" Then there is a very awkward hug.
Puzzle
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Replacing missing letters of APPLEBEES with those of their atomic numbers: A+(P=15)+(P=15)+LE+(Be=4)+E+(S=16)=50 -OR- A+(P=15)+(P=15)+LE+(B=5)+E+(Es=99) = 134

Day 5
Websites:
Videos
Main Video - Police are checking on the cell phone number we found. During another press conference the man who yelling "Andrew Goodis is a fraud!" was there again but this time he was apprehended by the police. He turns out to be Frank Calouri. The prints that were found on the threatening letters sent to Andrew turn out to be Frank's. Grant Tenbrook (CEO of Akarm) gives a heart-warming speech and seems very suspicious.
Puzzle
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using T9 or predictive text on your cell phone gives us alarm security and the text message we recieve from Max tells us the first word is akarm: akarm security

Day 6
Websites:
Answer to the puzzle is the only new one.
Videos
Main Video - Frank Calouri used to work at Akarm. Max and Christina spec about who did the kidnapping - between Frank, Sonia and Grant (CEO). Too soon to rule anyone out. We are asked to find out more about Sonia and send her an e-mail.
Puzzle
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sending an e-mail to Sonia gets a response which tells us a user name to a hidden page on the Akarm website. By going to About Akarm , then any option under For Employees . Cancel the box* and you will find a link to the "B A C K D O O R". Putting in the user name 58731801K5R in the live security video gives us a security cam of Akarm's building: http://www.akarmcorp.com/security2_backdoor/videofeedx541
*you should get a pop-up login box when you clicked on a "For Employees" link -- click the CANCEL button to make that box go away without submitting a login, then the page behind it will refresh with the backdoor link. From there, proceed to submit the user name as instructed above.
(moderator jumping in here with a reminder, this is an information-only thread, and all other discussion and questions will be deleted; with that being said, I am adding some clarification to the language in the spoiler which did draw a few questions -- catherwood]

Day 7
Websites:
Videos
Main Video - Max and Christina found a way to access past archives in the security feed we found in Day 6 and show us a couple videos they found from the day of Andrew's kidnapping.
Puzzle
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the video of Grant, the video skips over a period of time (noticeable by the time stamp). The missing times are: 4:34:25 to 4:34:59

Day 8
Websites:
Videos
Main Video - News announcement says the kidnappers have been killed and a video camera has been obtained, which belonged to Sonia Haswell. Video is damaged but the audio is intact. Det. sends a text message "Found weapon used to kill kidnapper, sending video and fingerprints."
Kidnapper Video - No one has come up on the ransom and we find out what happened. The kidnappers were sent to kill Andrew a few weeks ago but decided to get greedy. They inject Andrew with a time release chemical which will stop his heart in 24hrs unless the antidote is delivered.
Video from Camera - (Spotchy video) - Meeting of the kidnappers and someone who is paying them for kidnapping him. He pays them and reveal his location. The kidnappers are shot and the person behind it drives off.
Puzzle
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Listen carefully of the video obtained from the killing, it tells of the location and contains the voice of the person behind it. Also, use the fingerprint from the murder weapon on the Akarm website to match it up with the killer.
