Well mine is similar to several of the others, with one addition: as Ron confirms here, he actually did try to call me, but I was in the middle of nowhere when he called. Geez, now I'm thinking what would have happened if I had good reception out there? Think Ron would have really crashed at my place?

But alas, we'll never know now... Sad

Thanks a lot for your concern about my well-being and for trying to help out through all of this. I truly appreciate it and I can promise you I am being very careful with every move I make now. I did try and call you when I was out in Cambridge checking out the hospital. I left a message on your machine, but I'm not sure how much got through due to all the strange sound interference I was experiencing. Maybe if I get up there again we can meet up.

I wanted to let you know that I should be in Nevada by tomorrow and have made plans to meet with Jaimie from the Dread House site there, before heading down to Gold Hill in the next few days to check out the Gold Mine Hotel. I'm convinced there's a connection to everything that's happened and this hotel based on the images that were found in those sound files I recorded at the Cambridge Mental Hospital.

I'm hoping to be someplace in the next few days where I can upload the remaining encrypted file I found also. I'll probably use my "usual methods" because of the content that might be on them, so watch out for another message from me of some sort.

Thanks again for all your help and please be careful. I'm afraid the people who are helping me may be more vulnerable than I am since they are not on the move like me.

Ron

I have email Ron with two identities from two seperate accounts:

I think I may be in some SERIOUS trouble, I don't know...

I first emailed Roger Thompson and told him rather coyly that I knew about
the bad show. I don't think he figured that out because he said he
was glad to see a "positive" email like mine, with all the negative
one's he's been seeing. Well I sent him a 2nd email and he didn't
respond. So I sent him a 3rd one that was very threatening and I
posted some confidential Talking Tomato information on a VERY public
webpage. Let me tell you, he wasn't too thrilled. He said that, that
really changed everything, then later in the day he leaves and odd
message to a certain person and now seems to be on ice or something...

You warned to stay away from him, and said he's dangerous. I don't
know what his other emails are like, but from what I've seen and
heard, they're none to pleasant. What gives?

Do you need to see any of the emails I sent Roger?

What should I do?

Your friend,

First of all, I assume you are talking about Randall Thomas, not "Roger Thompson". I don't even know a Roger Thompson. And if you have been communicating with Randall at Tomorrow's Talk Studios, then you do have very good reason to be concerned for your safety.

I don't know anymore about the phone message from Randall that I posted at www.ronsworld.org than you do, except for the fact that I have checked with a couple of sources back in NYC who confirm for me that there was indeed a fire at the Tomorrow's Talk Studio offices and that Randall died in the fire. I have to admit that I feel terrible about his death and somewhat responsible. I'm afraid they killed him because of my phone call to him earlier that day. That's one of the reasons that I am so hesitant to involve anyone else, like yourself.

So please be very careful. If Tomorrow's Talk knows you've been communicating with Randall, they probably are watching you very closely.

My reply to him:

Yea I meant Randall Thomas. I was just being coy for the sake of not
mentioning potentially dangerous words. Yeah, I had listened to that
phone message, really strange... What do you think those repetitive
noises were? Hammering? Basketball? It's too bad he died. Perhaps
he wasn't one of the bad guys there after all? I don't know.

I posted an internal TT memo on a public forum and gave Mr. Thomas the
link. He wasn't too thrilled about that. The day he responded to me
was the same day he made the phone call, just about 12hrs earlier.
I've got a couple friends who are journalists, if you think its wise,
perhaps I could mention somehting to them...

Stay safe,

Said the chef from Sweed,
I hear you're in need,
Of a place to stay and something to eat,
Maybe soon we can meet.
....
You might have my num now,
When you first left I offered you how,
One of the first messages you had,
It was encoded-like and kind of rad.

(accented letters Varin comes to mind)

If you need it again let me know,
and with my number you I shall bestow.

*Note: When Ron first disappeared and we got his phone number, since Varin was one of the original people to contact, I left him a message with accents on specific words that started with something like IKNOWVARIN.

His reply:

Thanks for the offer to share your number with me. If you sent it to me before I probably have it already but it doesn't hurt to be safe. I'm thinking we may have to resort to more "real-time" communication in the near future anyway, so any means of contact you can share with me would be great.

I don't know anymore about the phone message from Randall than you do, except for the fact that I have checked with a couple of sources back in NYC who confirm for me that there was indeed a fire at the Tomorrow's Talk Studio offices and that Randall died in the fire.

I'll probably use my "usual methods" because of the content that might be on them, so watch out for another message from me of some sort. I don't know what good it will do us without the password to open the file but maybe someone will be able to figure it out anyway.

Please be careful in the meantime. Things continue to grow more dangerous with every day.

Ron
