Save the pic and open it with an editor that will read the meta properties. There's some tags on it too...but nothing seems to be a crumb.

I'm getting more scared now.



So again, I think this is a player...

It looks to me like the picture is something from a commercially available image site.. I doubt those tags mean anything.

EDIT: I emailed mariska to ask "What's behind the green door?" and got the reply that she is 'off the grid.' I wonder if this means that we just have to wait until the next step.

I'm not sure, I wonder if the door it self is the clue, 2 Key Holes, Something seems hidden behind the knocker, and then there's the thing below the knocker, perhaps a knob, or another awkward lock...I think we need to analyze the door for more clues.

I was thinking about the door yesterday. Notice how the door knob is in the middle. Can you have a door with the knob in the middle and the lock on the right? I guess its physically possible. But it seems like a ridiculously redundant design for a door.

For what it's worth, "641715390010944" wasn't there before. I'm sure of it.

Is that what we're supposed to find? Ookay.


EDIT: I sent Mariska with an email with that string of digits, and this is what I got in response:

Double-post:

Okay after worrying at this in the back of my mind all day, I figured out that 'ottumwaiowa' is a hint that this is a phone number (Ottumwa area code: 641).

641-715-3900 ext#10944

(according to Google, this is apparently a SimpleVoiceMailbox)

Anyway, the message at the number is *really* hard to understand but this is what I got:

I'm sorry for the trouble, but security is the only security I have. Go to [pathway??] [the keeper??]
-- and then it cuts off suddenly.


can anybody else make it out any better?

Also nice! The changing pictures are kinda spooky. But the most interesting one is the very last one, on the "elizabeth.html" page, which very briefly flashes a google satellite image, but I can't tell where it is from.

This is the pic. Not many buildings shaped like that, so I don't know if that would make it any easier to identify. but I don't know it.

Got it!!!

After straining my eyes trying to read the name on the road to the upper left, I was able to make out "Samuel D.[...]". Several google searches later, I found "Samuel D. Leidesdorf Way", which is next to the New York University Medical Center in NYC, between E. 29th and E. 30th.

I never know how to paste in a google map link, but it's definitely the same place...

Ooh, that is the location of Bellevue Hospital.


EDIT: that's leads to:
