Aww, nobody took my Old Edgebrook lead seriously. I've been trying to find the Pucinski statement, can somebody point me to the post that linked the quote to it?


It's a February 11, 2006 Chicago Sun Times article, "Fire that killed Pucinski doesn't look like arson". No link, because it's behind the Sun-Times paywall. If you're affiliated with a university, you can probably access it through Lexis-Nexis. PM me if you need some help with that; I'm a librarian, it's my job. Wink

Finally, being at university and therefore no longer able to go get boxes and other cool things pays off. (But not really. The article doesn't seem very relevant and also it's a sad story.)



Chicago Police investigators on Friday said a house fire that killed the son of the late alderman and congressman Roman Pucinski did not appear to have been intentionally set.

While police continue investigating, the exact cause of the Thursday fire that claimed the life of Christopher Pucinski may never be known, a fire official said.

"The Chicago Fire Department has ruled the cause of the fire undetermined," said spokesman Larry Langford. "The amount and type of flammables within the structure make it difficult to determine what did or did not contribute to the start and spread of the fire. If new information becomes available, the department will review its findings."

The fire broke out in the Pucinski family home in the 6300 block of Louise Avenue about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. Pucinski, 48, was found on the second floor.

The cause of death was still pending the outcome of a police and fire investigation, said a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Several chemicals and items Pucinski apparently used to build rocket motors were found in the lower level of the home, said Chicago Police spokeswoman Monique Bond.

Pucinski, who was single and unemployed, had lived in the family home alone since his father died in 2002. He is the brother of Aurelia Pucinski, the former clerk of the Circuit Court who is now a judge.

Pucinski was said to be a rocket enthusiast and a "kid at heart."

I'm not seeing it, Guest. Why did this jump out at you?

The only thing i'm seeing is that Slenderman captures kids and only kids but "at heart" means nothing to me so far.

New postcard theory that I don't think is too much of an epileptic tree:

Way, way back when, at least one poster suggested that "Land of Ashen Waste" reminded them of the Valley of Ashes from The Great Gatsby. For some reason, I don't think anybody ever picked that up and ran with it.

The thing is, the Valley of Ashes was a real place that has since been rehabilitated into a location that is easily accessible and in which they wouldn't be out of place shooting video: Flushing Meadows.

The very first Google hit I get for "ashen wasteland" "new jersey" is a pointer toward that location, which works in its favor. (I know it's not in NJ, but I was doing a search strictly from the clues available to us.) Several hits just for "ashen wasteland" point back to Gatsby, suggesting that they might have thought we would find it pretty quickly. Is it possible we were overthinking this all along? Or have I gone off the deep end without realizing it?

ahhh I hate hate hate this laptop sorry for double post

Also, thanks to Mattwan and Adan - that was driving me insane, lol. It wouldn't have been possible for me to find it even with all the help of the mighty uni, because I'm in another country and we don't subscribe to local American news Smile

The only thing that I can gather out of this, either whoever posted the quote really wanted us to find one specific article and thus one specific place, or they purposefully went looking for a quote impossible to Google so we won't be able to connect it to a red herring.

Eh, at this point we can only wait.

And the person who hanged herself is wearing a rabbit mask. Very Donnie Darko. I think they're probably more Hot Topic than prophetic, though.

(Course, I'd be happy to be proven wrong, just to get some momentum going again. Wink)
