Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The solve leads to a trail of html pages, each one bearing an image with a short message, The images read as follows

willaim: if you are reading this

...then I am surely dead.

there are some things that you probably do not yet understand.

But I can explain, william...

...Just not here.

There are 'eyes' watching.

watching and waiting. Waiting for an excuse to hurt you.

I can't tell you everything here...

but it will all become clear on your thirtieth birthday

but for now ask youself this:

What is the silence?

and an email link to josephinecaulfieldSPLATgmail.com

An interesting things is that the Titles of the pages form a sentance!

'as luck would have IT THE SILENCE is PITIFUL threethirteen ohsix silencio'

silencio being the final one. ... Is William a wizard?

Figured out the next step:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the page source there's a tag that reads </xaxxxxvxxxxxxxxxuxxxxxxxxxxrxxxpxxxxx.xxmx>. Taking Proust's full name, Marcel-Valentin-Louis-Eugène-Georges Proust and the most obvious file extension produces:

http://mum.atspace.com/marcelvalentinlouiseugenegeorgesproust.html

This leads to another page with an image.

Sending an email gets an auto reply of

Hello.

I am currently away. I may be gone for a long while. If I return, I
will reply promptly. Your contact details will be stored until then.

Since it was asked... Silencio is Spanish for "Silence".

Plus, given the countdown timer, I don't know what else there is to do. Unless that is how much time is left before whatever the bad thing that is going to happen happens. I dunno.

Id guess so, the countdown runs out on the 13th March.

That's Williams birthday isn't it?

Hey, Sae: Are you sure that was an auto-reply that you got? I'm not getting anything back from that e-mail address.

Well, I assume it was, because I recieved it literally seconds after I sent the message.

*pictures the PM watching his email, frantically refreshing the page*
