If you backtrack the very first picture of Trisha's "if you find this" letter, you'll see its also in the author's picture gallery. Oops!

I hurt my back this morning and am utterly bored, so I might as well throw myself head first into anything.
This has all been solved on LJ, but I might as well put it here for reference:

Who wants to help break the wingding letter?
So far, I've got
HERE *OO**N SECURE EVERYONE **C*
It would be nice if they made the note a little longer.
Edit : here's where I start guessing.
HERE LOOKIN SECURE EVERYONE **C*
Damnit, never use slang in ciphers.

And apparently the Sam that provided the hex code to the photobucket is his brother Samuel Winchester

That makes absolutely no sense.
here lookin secure.. everyone..what? I'm confused.
Trying to decipher that last word looking at what you've done so far. But I've not gotten anywhere so far.
ETA again.. Wouldn't that be HERE LOOKIN SECURE EVERYONE **U* ?

What is the code? It's not wingdings? Also to me the last word looks like 6 letters --?-**, and it's possible the everyone is actually two 4 letter words

Who needs to know the code when you know frequency analysis techniques?
I'm fairly certain the last word is four letters : a dash, a question mark with rays coming off the point, a concave can, and an "h".

I see where you're coming from, but none of the other characters are that size, all quite compact so I took it as 3 dashes with the ? inserted

Looking at the cipher..
Maybe it's:
We're lookin
Secure everyone.
**u*
Since there is a dot after the word that could be 'everyone' and a line break, I think the last word is a name, signature or something like that.
Now, using a crossword-thingamabob and eliminating already used letters I get these as possible for the last word, assuming it is four symbols:
(Most of these I don't even see as words, but it's what I got)
aqua chub daub douc baud
gaud haud maud thud chug
thug baum chum gaum gaup
jaup abut chut daut haut
phut faux druz

How did you change it from C to U? Did I miss something?
