I almost gave up on it thinking it was unrelated, but then I looked at his pictures:

It looks like the first girl being dragged away by the killer, and it says "the actual video is at http://www.NetThreats.org."


I think that picture is the same picture used in the background of the main page at BristelGoodman.com

Also, someone mentioned letters being missing from updates section. Those letters are "e e i e" They could be nothing more than typos. It seems he doesn't spell a lot of stuff right. Smile J/K, but he does have a lot of typos. Almost every "ou" in his e-mail to Nicole was "uo". I'm sure the missing letters are just typos.

About the myspace pages, I am almost positive if you create the screenames but do not log in, the date stays at 01.01.0001 He could have created the myspace pages so the names wouldn't be taken. Or he decided to not use Myspace. Either way, I'm going to go keep digging some more.

Did anyone mention the www.bristelgoodman.com/invite link in the upper right corner of the timeline page. it won't open for me from work, so I was just curious where it led.

Yes, I found invite.html but it will not work for me either.

I was trying to dig into the NetThreat page, I'm sure everyone has seen Yoders Blog by now, but has anyone tried contacting him?

Looks like Yoder and Eddie have the same IP Address?

I did a search on switchboard.com for a Stan Yoder, but couldn't find any in Texas near the netthreats whois info. In the email above, he mentioned a murder in NYC on Dec. 7th. I searched on the ny times site for evidence of this murder but couldn't find anything... anyone live in the area and know if this murder is legit?


Yes I did email Yoder last night. Here's his reply:

Hi Nicole:

As you probably noticed, we have not been posting anything new about the Bristel Goodman event in recent weeks. It seemed like our efforts were just fueling the fire and creating a credibility issue for NT. We're following the story nonetheless - it being among the more interesting phenomena on the net - but there seems little point in reiterating our uncertainty about it. The fact is, there are some strange anomalies surrounding BG, including evidence that the story can be traced back to June of 2006. Which is one of several elements that just do not feel right to any of us, particularly our (self proclaimed) gaming expert. He says it's too sloppy and haphazard to be a game - this despite a high level of video production. And now it turns out that an informant who we believe we've identified as a government asset, was murdered in NYC at almost the exact moment on December 7th that the Hot, Sexy, Webcam Girl video appeared. That's about all we have, though we're working (part time) on a couple of related issues. If we come up with something definitive, we'll post it.

Thanks for your interest.

Best,

Stan Yoder

I found your website, netthreats and I am also very intrested in the Bristel Goodman website. I noticed you were able to figure out some of the clues in the disturbing videos. Do you have any more information that may be helpful in solving this mystery?

Thanks for your help,
Nicole



I checked the message source in the emails from Eddie and Stan Yoder to see if they matched. I'm not an expert at this stuff, but it looks like they are cominf from the same ip address:

They both have that ip address 24.199.118.18. So it's gotta be the same person right?? I looked up the ip address, it says it's in New York, NY

Assuming that NetThreats is part of the game, the site is probably trying to point us in the right direction. Yoder's interpretation of the morse code message was that it was the first of 2 redirects. So maybe the answer to the code from the file (purity... whale) leads to a something.redirect.net. Or maybe one of the codes from the video, in truly / 26otay, or petite teenage twatski stingless gent leads to another redirect?

yo again guys n gals,

ok i remember a while ago i mentioned here that i found a phone number it happend because we found a myspace prfoile it had something to do with nora white the only problem was it has a real adress and phone number i never posted it because incase it was someone who had nothing to do with the game if you go to google and just type in nora white newyork it gives you the location adress and telephone number what do you lot think?

EDIT: i remeber now i posted it an then removed it cos no one seemed interested it was a myspace profile cos i remember it had a pic of the girl from the first video and the adress was the same for for the real adress i found and the name.

My guess is the name is a coincidence but who knows, this game has been pretty strange.

I started searching myspace to see if certain email addresses have created accounts. I tried all the screen names in the videos at gmail, yahoo, and hotmail.

Th3spian, who is friends with Ru_Mi, came up when I searched for Th3spian04[at]yahoo[dot]com. Looks like it's not just a coincidence.

Wayisnoway[at]yahoo[dot]com is the email that registered Rhino's myspace (wayisnoway)

GAMEFACE_17[at]yahoo[dot]com is the email that registered Gameface_17's profile

eddie[at]bristelgoodman[dot]com registered bristelgoodman


These are the only game related emails I've been able to find so far on myspace. I sent them all an email and added them to my yahoo messenger, but nothing yet.

Also, this is probably a no brainer, but something I noticed in the videos is that whenever it shows an IM conversation, one name is yellow and one is blue. The yellow text always appears as though someone is "typing" it, and the blue just pops up. So it seems like the yellow is the "bad/killer guy" and the blue is the victim, which is kinda obvious in the Rhino27 chats. But following this pattern, Rhyno27, GameFace_17, Th3spian04, Prync3ss_21, and ChanceTheories are the same person, and the others (ironwheat, Ru-Mi909, SkinDeepest, Thyanatomic) are his victims.

All the other names seem to fit, except Skindeepest and Pryc3ss_21. I thought Prync3ss_21 was the victim, and skindeepest was the badguy, I could be totally wrong though...

Doh!
mistake

I made a newbie mistake. I meant to post here and created a new topic under General--new player. I've emailed Phaedra to see if there is a way to move those posts here.

Possible anagram for bristelgoodman
general

blood streaming? Might have an interesting double-meaning, with streaming across the net and all.

Its been a while since ive posted in here, between RL getting in the way and the story just being confusing I decided to take a step back.
Boredom brought me back today and I started messing around.

Just trying a different avenue, I had a look at netthreats again and found it odd that Stan only capitalizes the Y in his name stanYoder.
A lot of puzzles sometimes do this to signify the start of a sentence so Im running through different anagram engines trying to come up with something from this.
It may be a dead end, it may not, just a thought.

So far my favorite anagram though is "A nerds toy" Smile

I'm glad people are replying again I was worried everyone gave up when I started!

I think the biggest lead we have is the clue from blood.redirectme.net,
"Purity, innocence, sovereignty, surrender, cowardice, death, rebirth, even West or metal or a whale."

I think from the netthreats tip, there is another redirectme.net site we must find. My guess is the answer to the purity/whale riddle will give us the one.

The other two puzzles that are driving me crazy are:

"in truly / 26otay"
and
"Petite teenage twatski stingless gent"

The greek letters...

I have been trying to follow up with the greek letters that appeared during the frat guys first video. Translating them wasn't difficult, but they don't make any sense. I think that Yoder guy on Netthreats is right about them representing numbers instead.

I also tried to follow any leads of the Malaysian girls screenname, aside form the myspace page. I found the exact screen name (rumi909) on a bunch of websites that dealt with Arabic travel sites. That was an obvious dead end since i discovered this Rumi909 is supposedly a guy.

I'll try talking to this eddie dee's...
