So the countdown is over. Haven't received anything yet. I did notice on Presidio's website that they posted this sometime today:

Could our DS3 be coming from there?

Edit: Apparently they are sending the same message in e-mails. LETS BREAK INTO THEIR NETWORK!

So, I suspected something would be off on the whole Presidio website. So I'm bumpin' around, sniffing about, and I go to the Neural Engineering staff, and go to Alec, and what do I get?

Inputs to solve a code

I went to the code page, and put in the four missing words from the passages in the Oct_5 image, and got to the following URL: http://www.presidioinstitute.net/letters/desk.html.

It's got a picture of a desk with CBALtech papers among other things, and a watermark with a logo for "INFORMATION RETREIVAL AND INFILTRATION SERVICES" overlaid on it.

I can upload the pic once I figure out just how to set that up.

I got about the same message from her. Wonder where she found it. Also, she sent that via FB not email.

For those who didn't see my edit:

Email on the back of the card from those two pictures we just got through Presidio - the company's name is Global Archiving Solutions.

Went to the website (http://www.globalarchivingsolutions.net/), and it asks for a login. I tried Alec's email (or, what it would be (a.veilSPLATveilnanoscience.com)) and the password, I tried what was handwritten on the back of the card, but I got nothing from it. Wrong combo.

Since the documents on the desk are CBALtech, and the letter from the New Jersey Department of Labor is addressed to the two Silvas.

Just tried with Joseph's email, josephsilvaSPLATcbaltech.com, and 2ebu7isi7a as password, and I got in. It's a set of emails, starting with a Nigerian scam. Will report further in a bit.

Huh, you're rather snappy at this.

Anyways, there's a slew of emails there between Joseph and a Tom Redding. They have a few emails worth of conversation about Alec and his disappearance, as well as an accident which seems to have taken the life of Alec's wife.

I'm going to post the correspondence here for all to read. Also, I think they're trying to tell us which emails are important - there are about 5 correspondences in the 'Saved' portion of the inbox.

Joseph, It's been a few years! I hope all is well with you in Princeton. I hope you liked the Christmas card I sent last winter. To be honest, I got used to receiving one back from you and got worried after not getting one this year. Is everything going well with you? Based on the website, it looks like the company has moved on to some new project. How very exciting!

Anyway, the reason I wanted to contact you was because of Alec. I know the anniversary of the accident is coming up soon. Have you heard from him recently? I've tried contacting him, but his company hasn't been too receptive to my emails about him, and his personal email address from when we worked at CBALtech together keeps bouncing my messages back to me.

Are you still in touch with him? IF you have any of his updated contact information, please let me know. I know he sort of fell out of contact with everyone after the accident. The things I've heard from some mutual contacts in the bay area aren't too uplifting. Apparently he's changed quite a bit. But I certainly don't blame him. I really hope he's okay. Hope to hear from you soon.

- Tom

Joseph,

Thanks for getting back to me. What a shame. Alec was such a good friend to us. So no one in your camp has heard from him? It's sort of odd that he's back leading his company after such a long hiatus, yet still being a complete recluse. I mean, I have some friends who know people at Veil. They're low-level, but, you remember Alec...he was the kind of guy that would sit in on security meetings. He was a micro-manager of the highest degree. My point is, these people at Veil that I know of...they say they've never even seen the guy. They say he's locked up in his office all day. It's just...strange.

Believe it or now, and let's keep this between us because I don't want the person who told me to get ratted out, but I found out that he's been visiting the site of the accident for a few years on it's anniversary. October 9th, I believe?.

I've considered, well, I would never actually do it, but the thought has crossed my mind of maybe meeting him there? I could never do it, I mean, how disrespectful would that be? The guy deserves his privacy. I'm just dying to get in contact with him. Maybe all he needs is a friend, or someone to talk to.

Anyway, if you hear anything, let me know. - Tom


Tom - 3/16/10 wrote:


Joseph,

Seriously, you don't actually believe I would do something like that. Come on. You guys were close...don't you miss him? Maybe he needs us. Bury your old issues and try to reach out to him. You were like a father to him.

I tried to do a little more digging of my own, though. I'm not sure how often you're on Veil's website, but it looks like when Alec went back, they started working on a new project. Something they called "Project-77." Project-77...coincidence? Obviously not. The whole story is just so...tragic. The fact that he named the first project after returning after the site of the accident that took away his wife. How could he bear the reminder of it every single time he goes to work? The more I think about it, it just makes me ill. I'm not a family man yet, but I can only imagine what it's like losing your wife. And what happened to his daughter is just...I mean something like that is just...unfair.

I know I've never been "in the know" or anything like that. You and Veil were always close when you worked together. I'm not complaining, don't worry, that's not what this is about. No jealousy here, I loved my place in the company. But you know how rumors can spread in a small department. There was a lot of talk about Alec's research before he left. Everyone knows that what caused a lot of friction between you two. I just never understood why you never gave it up. I mean, you kept it. For what reason? Everyone in the office had your back, but no one was against letting Alec move on to something (at least in his eyes) bigger. We both know that I'd probably still be working there if you just let him have it. When you didn't, they practically put CBALtech out of business. And then the whole security breach incident, however unrelated it was, really sealed the deal for most of us.

I'm not pointing any fingers, Joseph. Trust me. I'm sorry if it feels that way. I know you have business interests that are important. And now, well, it wouldn't even matter anyway. Another thing I've always wondered...Maybe you know since you were so close with him, before he left at least. I know Alec's parents moved out here shortly after he did. His mother was born in Philly and she always wanted to come back. So, they settled in Cherry Hill in an nice little house 10-15 minutes outside of the city. My question is...according to the stories I've heard, Alec was in New Jersey that week to visit his parents. Jane hadn't seen them in a while, so he took her out of school for a few days to take a long weekend here. Now, if he was coming here to visit his parents, why the hell was he on the parkway going north the day he arrived? Take care. - Tom

Yes. I understand.


Also, from Joseph's wife, Alice:

Ten years today. It seems like that horrible accident happened yesterday. Do you miss her as much as I do? I hope that poor girl is okay. Sorry, I know you don't like to talk about it, but it's hard to forget, especially today.

I love you.

- Alice
