Ugh, this whole CGFH thing is killing me.

I keep thinking that it's an acronym for something else...but what? The FH makes me think of funeral homes, but it seems like that's a dead end. >.<

I was thinking it could be initals:
G: Gerald
C: Chris
F: [whoever DNC is? Or Zodiac?]
H: [I dunno]

Nevermind, this doesn't make a whole lotta sense. At all.

Theory about the symbols in the journal, is that it's a progression. The cross, the cross/circle, the (+) and then DNC's symbol. In my mind, the first thing I thought of would be that DNC's is the second-to-last, with only one line and a circle [the others are a circle and two lines] and then the next one, the last one, would be just a circle without lines or anything. And then the cycle would be over, it started with a cross and ends with the circle.
This make sense? Embarassed

Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense. Surprised

Also, I'm a bit confused about a tweet. >.< Either he made a mistake and put Gerald instead of Sam...or there's something up. So either Sam is Gerald or something's up.

I have no idea if the name thing could work. DNC claims to have solved the riddle already, so, assuming he's not screwing with us, it has to be information he'd know.

Wait, what? Sam and Gerald? Samuel is the Dad's name, right? No, it was Gerald Smith, right? I know Gerald is someone but who is it? I don't remember. Fuck ADD

Okay, so Gerald is the father. But I forget who Samuel is... Oo

I've been meaning to re-read the trailhead, this seems like a good time to do so. I keep getting my names mixed up. I'll edit with a list of who's who for anyone else confused too. ><

Oh, I'd recc reading the trailhead again, just skimming at least. Kinda neat the foreshadowing you can pick up on [the John 3:16 line really stuck out at me]

According to everything we know, Samual is the father.

We have Chris Smith, who is our protagonist. And we have Sam Smith, who is the father. We also know this from the death certificate and the mortuary school graduation certificate.

Gerald, so far, was mentioned in the last journal video. Samual wrote Gerald Smith over and over again in a straight line. And yeah, that's all we know about Gerald.

EDIT: Actually....wtf? I rewatched the video and the first thing he says is that his dad "Wrote his name over and over again" and it shows Gerald Smith. But then it switches to Sam Smith. But, with all the stuff that we know and all the documents, it says Samual Smith. o-o

EDIT EDIT: Blah, I'm being a moron. xD His name's Samual Gerald Smith. I've been so used to him being Sam Smith that I automatically assumed it was another person.

He was mentioned in the beginning of the trailhead too... Once or twice, as the father.

My brain. I'll figure this out later. Writing mistake? One of the other players also getting confused? Confused Screwy

Just saw your edit. So... We have a Gerald Smith, a Samul Smith and a Samual Smith. DID/MPD? Secret identities for w/e reason [killing...]

Da fuck?


EDIT2: Got it. Whew. I was really confused. Figured it was something like that.

Yeah, it was confusing to me, as well. xD

But, the death certificate clears it up: https://twitter.com/#!/MyDadsTapes/status/166264991454990339/photo/1/large

I guess there are some people out there who go by both their first and middle name. o-o

Hi, I'm here again ...
With regard to the list of places, I also thought it might be the initials of names, Gerald, Chris, (Chris's sister? Not know his name, we know it?) And ... absent brother? But simply because the order does not seem to make much sense.

By alphabetical order those letters their proper position 3, 7, 6 and 8 ¿?

I also remembered the list of states in the book of the lockbox, but only two match. Back to the list, in the journal Gerald speaks of 99 souls saved. In the list of states are 91 or 92 marks.

One detail that caught my attention, despite being a tortuously written text with the letters leaning to either side at random, Georgia is written as "Georgìa" with the accent very pronounced to be accidental. What I do not know if that accent is really corresponds to the word. I do not know if it can mean something.

Chris

Find
Him

Just a wild guess.

Find him probably means DNC? Family reunion kinda.

Weird new tweet layout isn't letting me c/p. I think DNC's saying he'll save someone tonight? Oo The "who's house am i looking at" and "are u safe in bed?" [I was in bed when I got that tweet, btw. Creepy to get woken up with. XD]

But his last few tweets about "the world turning upside down" and whatnot... Huh? not a kill then...


Ooooh. Just got the most recent tweet. I guess... he's gonna meet him tonight? Or soon. Oo

I can't decide if I should stay up in case I get a call or go back to bed... :/ I don't have anything to do tomorrow, but I am tired... D:

EDIT: Oh, look. DNC replied. I guess I should stay up then...

EDIT2: Texting with DNC now, he wants me to go outside.... Oo
Didn't, told him he had the wrong house [did peek out the window though, you never know... Oo] then he said "perhaps i do. pity"

Well, not much came of it, but it scared me for a bit at least. XD

Bedtime again.

Okay, I'm severely addled by lack of adequate sleep, but I'm assuming that one of three things happened today/tonight:

1. DNC talked with Melissa.
2. DNC had some interaction with Chris...or he ransacked his house.
3. DNC took somebody from Chris's family, or possibly his girlfriend.

I'm thinking it might be two. Because he was tweeting late at night. I have no idea if they interacted or not, but I guess we'll find out.

Also, did you guys know that serial killers use Blackberries? xD

It has always been that number. I think he's dealing with mDT oir something, he's stopped rplying for now, after "the curtain is rising'
(I use blackberry too... Another thing I have in common with SKs xD)

I think dnc has chir's gf hostage, and dnc has to do something as ransom, as he's tweeted.

The only thing off from the convo with DNC was about 'they'.

any moment now. i know they know. will they share with u`

i guess talking about MDT and his gf? Oo * MeredithKing * is confused
I'll transcribe the texts themselves tomm, promise. For now, bed unless he says something else.

Blah, wasn't sure if you could see the twitter posts until now. But I'll add it to the thread anyways for archiving purposes.

I have a feeling it's the girlfriend. There was loads of foreshadowing earlier and, as the day went on, I figured that had to be the case.
