hmm.. all numbers added, going from right to left it's

RT 9
R2 4
R3 8
R4 1
R5 6

LT 4
L2 6*
L3 1
L4 1
L5 7

if it's a phone number then some of the spaces are significant so trick is finding out which ones.
if it's multiplication it's 9481646 * 117 which = 1109352582 if my math isn't failing. which is utterly possible.

So I got it. I'm gonna spoiler cut it in case you want to figure it out by yourself. It's not so bad if you rearrange stuff.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The phone number is (618) 494-6117. (You go from the right pinky to the left pinky to get this number.) And the password is 6117...which took me way too long to figure out considering it's the last four digits and the numbers that appear after the asterisk on his hand. Looks like it leads to one Boris Gouza of Illinois, who recently had his identity stolen. Also, the second victim was found in Illinois. This guy has an IL phone number but was found in CA. I dunno what's up with that.

ETA: Oh also, he has (had) a blog: http://unpersonated.blogspot.com


Ummm...check it out I guess.

In his blog Boris Gouza mentions Medussa Autos. Ran a Whois domain search to find their site was created on July21st 2010.

ETA: Plus "Series Sites:Dexter:Messua Used Auto" etc in the source.(beter later than never) Smile

They're going out of business and have a contact message as well as a promo pic of Theo Medussa:

Mr. Messua's got two ads on Craigslist it seems, with American Patriotism dripping from the ears of each. I've sent him an email; will post when I hear back.

I wrote that down, because I thought the same thing, but haven't been able to come up with anything. It's difficult to search without a city, but simply Googling it doesn't return anything obvious. I did check the city to which the phone number was registered, and there's no such place in that city, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I was wondering if the address is an address fabricated by the identity thief or by the man himself. Tough call, but probably the latter.

Can someone record and upload the phone message for those of us that live overseas? I would love to have a go at tearing it apart myself.

Just took my first looksee at the Serial Huntress Forum. The lead post on the Boris Gouza thread is a detailed account of that phone message.....And Dee will be updating her blog today about a "Possible ID Match".

There's another site/blog related to this at http://www.8inblood.com, though there's not much there at the moment.

Apparently, the Comic Con game had an official website too that I haven't seen here? http://dextergameon.com I doubt that since it's technically OOG that it will have anything relating to the ARG, but at least it gives a sneak peek at some new Dexter footage. Very Happy

I just registered at the ingame forum, but I haven't read through any of it yet, so this may have been mentioned there. Anyways checking the source code of messua used auto, I found this:

Code:
 
 <!--
 
 :::=======  :::===== :::===  :::===  :::  === :::====       :::  === :::===  :::===== :::====       :::====  :::  === :::==== :::====
 ::: === === :::      :::     :::     :::  === :::  ===      :::  === :::     :::      :::  ===      :::  === :::  === :::==== :::  ===

 ===     === ======== ======  ======   ======  ===  ===       ======  ======  ======== =======       ===  ===  ======    ===    ======
 
  -->


Is this a normal thing found in a page source?
