It's interesting that RF believes that the subject's loss of a friend was more significant than the loss of his father. He does answer one critical question, which is that the subject did not witness the murder of his father. RF also now confirms that the uncle was convicted of the murder--presumably this provided enough closure that RF doesn't think that was a factor here (though it's odd to have brought that IG and then just as quickly tell us that it's not important). I've asked RF if he can provide any details about the lost friend--this is likely to be quite important to the mystery.

I've also asked RF to provide more details of the subject's recollection of the dream he had during the experiment. He mentions seeing a movie poster--that would be interesting to know if it were a real film or not. Might or might not be a clue regarding the PM(s).

On the video part of the blog, RF also makes a pretty clear call to his other colleagues, asking them to join the discussion. Hopefully, this will lead to another site. Anyone here listen to Coast to Coast? I believe it's Art Bell's old show which was on late Sunday nights.

EDIT/ C2C is Art Bell's old show, now hosted by George Noory. Sundays are now primarily for reruns, apparently. It's broadcast during the week.

i've been perusing the blog, and watching the video and whatnot, and the overall theme that r.f. keeps bringing up is that he "wants to get the word out" and everything. from his comments on the idea of submitting the information to the radio show Coast to Coast (which he is right, is full of wingnut theories and whatnot, and immensely interesting/entertaining), to the not so subtle appeal to his former colleagues to stop by and help answer questions and perhaps write a blog post. he states that he is unsure how to go about getting the word out.

is that our job at this point? to simply drive traffic until some threshold is reached?

then, there is this...

"He's currently very busy working on some big project in Toronto, but I'm sure he could squeeze some time in to speak here at some point. He's been working in this field since the Vietnam War, where he was one of the first psychologists to help explain the seriousness and long-lasting effects of war-induced PTSD to the mainstream public." (blog comment on "the video" post)

are we supposed to be hunting down one of the pioneers of PTSD studies??

i'm not sure where to go with this, really, just putting in my two cents.

I've also tried searching for Toronto-based psychologists working on PTSD, to no avail. Perhaps the project this person is working on is not PTSD related. I'll keep looking.

I've been following this to see if maybe Bambos is behind it. This is going to be pretty awesome if he is, and it's already pretty interesting.

Thanks, myf, for the powerpoint viewer

Oh, and desertilluminati, post count definitely doesn't matter. Look at me, for example. Around 300 posts and I'm still basically a noob!

New responses from R.F. He gives a little more background information on the dream and the missing friend.

Idea on the Missing Friend

Good, (and disturbing, I admit) catch, Bubasture!
I don't know for sure if it's in game, but it almost can't be coincidence.

Also seems to me that the "Curly getting hit in face with pie" explanation of the movie poster may be a reversion to previous childhood experiences to protect the subject's sanity from what he actually witnessed.

something doesn't feel right about the page on the national center for missing & exploited children site. the time corrected picture doesn't look like the other ones on the site it (to me) looks more like a photograph, while the others have more of a painting quality. at the same time though, would this group allow someone to post false info on their national database? it seems more likely to me that our PM based the story of the missing friend off this real missing person
