The dates are date of birth for each and the addresses are home and employer, so those I understand being different for each, but what doesn't add up is the age at time of death. If the ages are correct then they would have all died Jan/1899 not Jan/1897.


Daniel Holman - DOB 6/28/1854, Age: 46
Kathleen Holman - DOB 7/28/1859, Age: 41
William Davis - DOB 11/8/1876, Age: 23

(Speaking of dates, what month is "Jule"? That's the month that K. Holman was born in Wink I'll assume July for now.)

So they would have died in 1900, some time after Kathleen's birthday 7/28 but before William's birthday 11/8.

Heh, my bad....My adder wasn't working right Wink Jan/1900 it is.

According to the homocide documents, at the time of their deaths (the article suggests this date was Monday, January 4, 1897):

1. William R. Davis would have recently turned 20, not 23 as is recorded (exactly 20 years, 1 month, and 7 days)

2. Daniel J. Holman III would have been 42 (and a half), not 46 as recorded (exactly 42 years, 6 months, and 7 days)

3. Kathleen M. Holman would have been 37 (and a half), not 41 as recorded (exactly 37 years, 5 months, and 7 days)

This leaves a (roughly) 3-year age discrepancy in WRD's case and 4 years for the Holmans.

While I have no idea what this info might signify, it seems extremely odd that the ages of all three victims would be so way off. *sniff, sniff* Does this smells like a clue to anyone?

P.S. Anyone else think that it's strange that none of the three "Homocide Incident Reports" indicate the date of the report, the date of the incident, or the address where the murders took place?

P.P.S. What's up with the diagram? I presume that A, B, and C represent the victims locations at the time of their deaths, but which is which? Clue or trout-bait?

ah, just figured out the end part...

starting from "homicide" --> "....homicideprotocolrhoetarho" --> "homicide protocol rho eta rho" (figured out that 45 is a "tibetan terrier" and thanks to addlepated for correcting the "l" in "protocol") In greek capitals, "rho eta rho" = PHP (in english it translates to "rar" - no such file there though)

edited original spoiler post (again) Very Happy

OMG Driz thank you for finding #18. I have been looking for 3 days and in the process have fallen in love with Spanish Water dogs, Labradoodles and Goldendoodles. I still have pages of goldendoodles to look at but as I said I've fallen in love.

my guess is that it supposed to say:

LOC Neotech (location of server is neotech or NRU.US
Folder docs ( /documents/)
file homicide (homicide)
protocol rho eta rho (.php)

or
LOCNEOTECHFOLDERDOCSFILEHOMICIDEPROTOCOLRHOETARHO

no, Grumpyboy figured it out yesterday as well as that link to nru (see his post on page 2 that is spoilered). There was just stuff in the middle that wasn't determined... I can lay no claim to the find, it's just my theory as to what the puzzle was supposed to say.
Most likely there are different names for some of the dogs, or something.

Instinct says there's more to those docs than meets the eye.
Why the date/age discrepancy?

All the "L"s and "U"s are out of alignment (unknown, june, assault, caucasion) and yet when you get to "Coerced to of the victims into the alley for purposes unknown"......the "U" is aligned and normal. This is the same for the "L"s (Holman, Daniel, alley) until you get to "then used firearm to shoot Mr and Mrs Holman"....where the "L" is normal.

(There may be a couple more, but it does seem odd)
