[Update] Myke dead!

http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/nisha/secret/mailinbox/0130.html

Worry sent an email to Ian and Nisha with a newspaper clipping about a body found near Coachella. I'm guessing it's Myke. Anyone who's seen him care to say whether or not the pic looks like him?

From the photos that the Coachella 5 took, I would say it kinda does look like Myke.

Myke said in his voice message that he was staying in his crappy motel in Indio, CA and I-10 runs right through there. (according to google maps)

That's Myke.

They introduce a new character, put him in a red shirt, then kill him off.

Sounds strangely familiar.

Didn't Myke mention to either Nisha or Ian that he never met up with the retrievers? Wonder if there is a Myke impostor out there somewhere whom we'll hear from soon.

That was after they failed to get back in to the festival grounds.

Ok, now I'll the "why" question. Why was Myke killed? To send a message? Did Myke have info or discover something deathly important?

Myke never existed to us ( at least, I don't think) until the coachella event. So we don't know what kind of relationship he had with Ian and Nisha. If we knew that, I think we could possibly predict more, with better accuracy.

Yeah, that's Myke.

GRRRRRRRRRRR!

Cursing

Myke was an innocent bystander. Nisha asked Myke to help with the op.

Myke is like us.

Yes I think it's a message.

not MYKE!!

Crying or Very sad

I like HitsHerMark's idea that this could be a message to other people trying to help Nisha.

The theory that Virgil might have been jealous of another guy on the scene is a fun one too.

Well, now it's personal. They killed Myke... the Coachella 5's only ally... we MUST! AVENGE! HIS DEATH!!

MYYYYYYYYYYYYKE!

Before I read he was shot, I thought he might have passed away due to dehydration from standing in the hot sun waiting for us all day.


I really hope it wasn't Nisha that offed him because she thought he was responsible for the miscommunication at Coachella.

Can we trust this article? We dont know WHO "Worry" is working for yet. This could have been an EASY set-up. I say we should wait until we find more info.

oooh, I like Manta's theory.

Maybe it's a faked clip, staged by Myke because he realized he was in trouble. Working in cohoots with Worry... maybe that's how Worry was able to get so close to Nisha down in Coachella...

If so, that means Myke might have to turn to the only friends he has left. His only reliable allies.

Yep. That's right. The Coachella 5.

Myke, if you're alive after all, feel free to show up on our doorsteps. Smile

Not to rain on your parade, but it's probably more likely that it's hard to get a false murder report into newspapers Smile

Why do I feel like "The Coachella 5" is going to some how spin-off into it's own show... it has an "A-Team" feel to it.

We had some criminals here in the UK known as "The Birmingham 6" so I guess you could go either way Wink

[spec] Mike was supposed to die anyway.

It seems that even if the C5 had been successful and got the SD card to Myke, he would have been killed and the card taken before he got it to Nisha.
