NighthawkUF (5:18:46 PM): Hello there.
KristenAngel08 (5:19:20 PM): Hey 0.o
NighthawkUF (5:19:36 PM): I tried to contact you via Facebook, but you didn't answer. This is David.
KristenAngel08 (5:20:08 PM): oh ok I must not have seen your contact then
NighthawkUF (5:20:49 PM): No matter... I have some information that might concern you, but before I get to that do you know someone named Corey Western or perhaps something called "Ruleford"?
KristenAngel08 (5:22:58 PM): absolutely no clue what you're talking about lol
NighthawkUF (5:23:55 PM): OK then, well apparently somebody knows you both. I am part of an investigative team that has been given some information, and I don't want to excessively panic you, that either you or he may be in danger.
KristenAngel08 (5:24:16 PM): ok what come again? lol
NighthawkUF (5:24:51 PM): OK, I'll make this simple...
NighthawkUF (5:24:54 PM): http://www.inthefinalstate.com/
NighthawkUF (5:24:59 PM): Password is "death"
NighthawkUF (5:25:30 PM): We are trying to determine the validity of this video and why you and Corey Western were chosen.
NighthawkUF (5:29:38 PM): Still with me Kristen?
KristenAngel08 (5:30:58 PM): uh yeah
KristenAngel08 (5:31:02 PM): who's the prankster?
NighthawkUF (5:31:08 PM): That's what we're trying to find out.
KristenAngel08 (5:31:34 PM): lol who put you upto this doll?
NighthawkUF (5:31:52 PM): You're in Chicago, right?
KristenAngel08 (5:35:35 PM): I'm sorry my mom just called
NighthawkUF (5:35:54 PM): No, it's OK. Where are you located?
KristenAngel08 (5:36:25 PM): I'm in Mass
NighthawkUF (5:36:52 PM): Ah, sorry, got confused. Ever been to Chicago? That's where Corey is located.
KristenAngel08 (5:37:39 PM): Nope can't say I have. I don't travel much even during school vacation periods, too much grading to do lol
NighthawkUF (5:38:24 PM): You're a teacher?
NighthawkUF (5:38:47 PM): Let me know if the questions I ask are too personal. We're trying jsut ot get to the bottom of this.
KristenAngel08 (5:39:33 PM): uh yeah its fine but shouldn't someone call the police if some idiot is trying to play cat and mouse on the internet? lol
KristenAngel08 (5:39:40 PM): it could seriously scare some poor person... Like me
NighthawkUF (5:40:09 PM): That was not my intention. We don't have any information to call the police with. We don't know the source, and the only thing we have is your anme and this other guy, Corey Western.
KristenAngel08 (5:40:23 PM): Yeah well, I mean those were some pretty personal photos on that video thingy!
NighthawkUF (5:41:09 PM): Besides the one that's your main Facebook image, are there other images of you there? Where did those come from?
KristenAngel08 (5:41:28 PM): Er how about no idea? lol
KristenAngel08 (5:41:44 PM): I'm seriously wondering who the joker is on this because I don't recall uploading those they're still on my desktop and stuff
NighthawkUF (5:42:07 PM): Are the other photos of you? Forgive me if I can't tell what you normally look like (your main Facebook image doesn't provide a good frame of reference, I must admit)
KristenAngel08 (5:42:43 PM): Yeah it HOCKS lol
KristenAngel08 (5:42:51 PM): The pic is like way out of my range lol
KristenAngel08 (5:42:55 PM): (was a bit drunk )
NighthawkUF (5:43:09 PM): That explains that.
KristenAngel08 (5:43:10 PM): And yeah the other photos are me
NighthawkUF (5:43:28 PM): Do you have them online anywhere? Private photos on Facebook? Any other site?
KristenAngel08 (5:43:56 PM): No like I said I never got around to uploading those lol
NighthawkUF (5:45:02 PM): So they're not random pictures. Who had access to these photos?
KristenAngel08 (5:45:57 PM): me
NighthawkUF (5:47:03 PM): Nobody besides you? Friends over the house? Anyone?
KristenAngel08 (5:47:26 PM): I hardly have people over now donty really get the time lol
KristenAngel08 (5:47:29 PM): dont**
NighthawkUF (5:48:42 PM): Well, we're going to investigate this further. My email address is [OMITTED] . If you have any information to assist our investigation, please let us know.
KristenAngel08 (5:49:19 PM): I will do, thanks
NighthawkUF (5:49:45 PM): All that I can suggest is to be especially vigilant, and let us know if tehre is anything out of the ordinary.
KristenAngel08 (5:51:04 PM): uh yeah Im gonna lock my doors and stuff lol
NighthawkUF (5:51:19 PM): Good idea. Better to be safe.
NighthawkUF (5:51:35 PM): If there is anything you need, let me know. I'm pretty much always online.
KristenAngel08 (5:52:09 PM): ok thank you... I should maybe call my mom and dad lol
NighthawkUF (5:52:29 PM): Whatever you think is best.
NighthawkUF (5:52:52 PM): I must be going. Be careful, and let us know if you have any more information to find this guy
KristenAngel08 (5:53:35 PM): ok thanks again

The most important thing of all this is...

1) I've successfully freaked her out.

2) She's the only one with access to all the other photos in the video; they're not online anywhere because she hasn't uploaded them.

Yeah... Both dead. Better to be thorough.

*EDIT*
Meta:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Corey Western is such a porn star name...

My AIM is reapers0angel

I'd like to start a group convo because it seems redundant, all of us talking to her and telling her the same thing.

I'm playing the hard hitting, factual cop guy that wants information. Someone else should be friends with them.

Haha no. Gj Omega, you don't lose points unless he killed himself out of sheer terror? O_o but then... That would mean were doing the killers job for him Razz

That would be an awesome twist if Corey and Kristen ended up committing suicide because they got so scared of our warnings. They started suspecting everyone, paranoid of anything and everything, until they couldn't stand it anymore....

Let's send them more scary messages. Twisted Evil

My tone to Corey was friendly. Haven't gotten a response, though.

So...

Well, some other things that I found out, is that Kristen is an english teacher, and she teaches 12th grade.

Like nighthawk said, no one had acces to her computer or pictures, besides Kristen herself

one more thing...Kristen "plays for the other team." She sad she was living with her girlfriend, Tamryn, up until 7 months ago. She said they split on good terms. She had to move, so they decided to split.

That's alll I got.

Anyone with info from Corey?

It would appear we're on the right track, so far. At least, according to the new statement on the website.

You seem to be getting the hang of this. I don't think poor little Corey is taking this so seriously, do you? I might have to give him something to think about, if you know what I mean.

Also, do not think that your part is over once you've possibly saved a life. I have so much for you. I think you'll definitely like it.

I don't care if he's taking it seriously or not... I want to vote already! Twisted Evil

"So, should Corey or Kristen die?"

"Yes."

'Oh... never thought of that."

I'm talking to dead guy... er, Corey... as well.

Quote:

NighthawkUF (8:22:08 PM): Hello there. I am the investigator that contacted you through Facebook.
Wild06Western (8:22:42 PM): Hello
NighthawkUF (8:23:06 PM): I don't know if you got my last message from there, but we made contact with the other person named in the video.
Wild06Western (8:23:23 PM): Really?
NighthawkUF (8:23:43 PM): Yes, and she's as cluelessas you are. In fact, she's worried; I don't blame her.
NighthawkUF (8:23:59 PM): The video contained pictures that were solely in her possession. They were not public.
Wild06Western (8:26:00 PM): Sorry - someone else was talking to me
NighthawkUF (8:26:14 PM): S'ok. You've become popular because of this video.
Wild06Western (8:26:34 PM): Has someone put a swarm of PIs on me? It seems so, in my opinion.
Wild06Western (8:27:18 PM): Anyways, some of the pictures of me in that video were taken for publicity purposes
NighthawkUF (8:27:21 PM): Well, there are people genuinely concerned. The culprit did a mass mailing telling multiple people of his intentions. People are genuinely concerned, and you seem to be taking this way too lightly.
Wild06Western (8:28:21 PM): I am taking this lightly: I do not see this as a threat.
Wild06Western (8:28:45 PM): This seems like a prank, and I will think of it as a prank unless something actually happens besides empty threats over an anonymous site
NighthawkUF (8:28:53 PM): And it may not be, but we have to gather information to ensure that is not the case.
NighthawkUF (8:29:04 PM): We're erroring on the side of caution here.
Wild06Western (8:29:21 PM): But, about the pictures: you say that the video contained pictures that were solely in her posession?
NighthawkUF (8:29:31 PM): Yes, apparently so.
NighthawkUF (8:29:45 PM): She is a schoolteacher in Boston.
Wild06Western (8:30:00 PM): I've only been to Boston once, so I have no idea who she is
Wild06Western (8:30:07 PM): About the pictures
Wild06Western (8:30:27 PM): One was released in a publicity stunt since I was one of the youngest joining the firm and things like that
Wild06Western (8:30:41 PM): The rest were just pictures
NighthawkUF (8:30:47 PM): So they are publically available somewhere?
NighthawkUF (8:31:01 PM): I'm just trying to define accesibility to those pictures.

(Power flickered; I got disconnected for a minute)

NighthawkUF (8:32:31 PM): Sorry... power spike. Almost lost you there a second.
NighthawkUF (8:33:56 PM): Still with me?
Wild06Western (8:34:08 PM): Yes.
Wild06Western (8:34:21 PM): People are talking to me from all sides
NighthawkUF (8:35:20 PM): Well I don't know what more to tell you. We're trying to find a common link between the two of you.
Wild06Western (8:35:40 PM): Well, I can't think of one
NighthawkUF (8:36:19 PM): If I may ask, do the names Marcus Lee, Robert Ingram or Michelle Lincoln mean anything to you?
Wild06Western (8:37:28 PM): Not really.
Wild06Western (8:38:17 PM): the only thing I could think of is that they heard of me from being on jury duty or something like that
Wild06Western (8:38:19 PM): but I doubt it
NighthawkUF (8:38:40 PM): We don't know even where they are located, but they've also been named by the creator of the video.
Wild06Western (8:39:01 PM): Really? Has he talked to you?
NighthawkUF (8:39:45 PM): Not directly, no. He sent us an email with an image attached that contained the five names.
Wild06Western (8:39:50 PM): AH
Wild06Western (8:39:52 PM): Oops
NighthawkUF (8:40:20 PM): We have had no further contact with the creator of the video.
NighthawkUF (8:40:38 PM): We'd like to think the names were picked at random, but the accesibility to private photos and information is disconcerting.
Wild06Western (8:40:46 PM): It is
NighthawkUF (8:42:01 PM): If I may ask, and I understand your possible inability to answer, but what kind of case are you actively working on? In general terms; I don't need specifics.
Wild06Western (8:43:07 PM): I can't tell you anything. It's quite private, especially because of the nature of the case
NighthawkUF (8:43:39 PM): But is it criminal? Civil? Is it an individual or a corporation?
NighthawkUF (8:43:50 PM): Again, I don't need actual names.
Wild06Western (8:44:30 PM): All I can tell you that it involves civil and criminal offenses involving a corporation and several individuals
Wild06Western (8:44:40 PM): I can't say anything more without endangering the case.
NighthawkUF (8:44:43 PM): OK, understood.
NighthawkUF (8:45:14 PM): Well, I don't have anything further at this time. We are still looking for information. If there is anything that comes to your mind, please let us know.
Wild06Western (8:45:21 PM): OK
NighthawkUF (8:45:30 PM): If we find out anything further that concerns your safety, we will let you know as well.
Wild06Western (8:45:55 PM): Thank you, but I might not need it. We'll see
Wild06Western (8:46:25 PM): I have a quick meeting and I can then go home, so I have to leave
Wild06Western (8:46:32 PM): Bye.

knightmare2k186 (5:09:02 PM): is this Corey Western?
Wild06Western (5:09:10 PM): Yes.
Wild06Western (5:09:25 PM): If you want to talk to me like everybody else, you'll have to wait a few minutes
knightmare2k186 (5:09:30 PM): ok.......
knightmare2k186 (5:09:35 PM): i can wait.
Wild06Western (5:09:36 PM): I just need to finish up this and then I should be free
Wild06Western (5:09:38 PM): Good
Wild06Western (5:12:33 PM): OK. What's going on?
knightmare2k186 (5:12:44 PM): what do you do for a living?
knightmare2k186 (5:12:50 PM): if you dont mind me asking
Wild06Western (5:13:04 PM): I'm a lawyer... you probably already know if you found me though
knightmare2k186 (5:13:13 PM): true...never hurts to ask
Wild06Western (5:13:40 PM): Is that all you wanted to ask me? Razz

knightmare2k186 (5:13:45 PM): ....lol
knightmare2k186 (5:13:47 PM): no
Wild06Western (5:13:54 PM): Thought so
knightmare2k186 (5:13:58 PM): you thought right
knightmare2k186 (5:14:23 PM): so...im sure by now youve seen the freaky site and the video?
Wild06Western (5:15:11 PM): Yes, I have. Personally, I don't see what's up with that. I wouldn't put it past some of my more prankster friends
Wild06Western (5:15:46 PM): Plus, I'm a lawyer. If this is actually some braindead person making death threats, I make enemies all the time.
knightmare2k186 (5:16:02 PM): when were those pictures taken? who took them if you can remember?
Wild06Western (5:17:20 PM): Well
Wild06Western (5:17:28 PM): I'm having trouble recalling.
Wild06Western (5:17:31 PM): Why do you ask?
knightmare2k186 (5:17:39 PM): .........just wondering if you know
Wild06Western (5:18:04 PM): Oh yeah! I do remember now.
Wild06Western (5:18:28 PM): It was from a bit of publicity when I became one of the youngest lawyers at the firm
Wild06Western (5:18:48 PM): One or two of the photos were released - so, anybody could have found them
knightmare2k186 (5:19:10 PM): so you had not control over the release of those photos?
Wild06Western (5:19:38 PM): Not really. It was the firm's idea
knightmare2k186 (5:19:43 PM): hmm ok...
knightmare2k186 (5:19:47 PM): you live by yourself?
Wild06Western (5:20:45 PM): Sorry about that
knightmare2k186 (5:20:47 PM): np
Wild06Western (5:20:58 PM): We've been having connection problems all day
Wild06Western (5:21:54 PM): No, I don't live by myself.
knightmare2k186 (5:22:13 PM): girlfriend? roomates?
Wild06Western (5:23:03 PM): I'm engaged to Dawn Franklin
knightmare2k186 (5:23:13 PM): i take it shes a lawyer also?
knightmare2k186 (5:23:41 PM): whats the name of your firm btw?
Wild06Western (5:24:00 PM): No, she isn't a lawyer
knightmare2k186 (5:24:04 PM): haha
knightmare2k186 (5:24:16 PM): ok her name just sounds so lawyerish
Wild06Western (5:24:51 PM): I'm a member of Baker and McKenzie
knightmare2k186 (5:28:32 PM): have you had any recent altercations with anyone..in or out of the courtroom?
Wild06Western (5:32:09 PM): Sorry - someone else grabbed me online. Like I said to "nighthawkuf" it seems I'm being swarmed by a team of private investegators
knightmare2k186 (5:32:17 PM): lol
Wild06Western (5:32:24 PM): As for altercations: I'm a lawyer. What do you expect?
knightmare2k186 (5:32:30 PM): anything recent?
Wild06Western (5:32:36 PM): Well
knightmare2k186 (5:32:40 PM): within the past week
Wild06Western (5:32:51 PM): Not within the past week, unless you count that stupid video
Wild06Western (5:33:19 PM): But death threats are routine, considering I've put away murderers, con men, and criminals of different types
Wild06Western (5:33:24 PM): I average a few a year
Wild06Western (5:33:31 PM): You get used to it after a while.
knightmare2k186 (5:33:34 PM): ok....thats fair lol
knightmare2k186 (5:33:44 PM): are you a religious person?
Wild06Western (5:34:35 PM): Slightly, if you could say that
