This is what I heard:

Hmm, I heard:

[nitefoll]

Hmm, odd:

[Shady]

...and here is what my dodgy ears hear

[UnimportantHero]

Here is what I heard after multliple listenings and corrections.

Carmenmiranda, could you put the [PUZZLE] designation in the topic of this thread, since we now know that's what it is? You're the only one who can do it since yours is the first post.

Just to make things easier. And then, I guess mark it as solved? Or not, since we have to figure out how to follow Eva's instructions.

Oh, and shall we assume that "He is alive" means Keir now?

EDIT: Changed "post" to "thread" for clarity.

[UnimportantHero]

i think my thing is on the right track, but i dont thinnk it is solved yet. there are still a few letters left over, and if it IS a jumble then presumably all the letters have to be used.

[legioninfinity]

wow! so many different interpretations... here's mine
I think its another one different from all the others...

L – h
I – op
K – phr
E – o
O – le
N – akefn (e)

from which Kenkon fairly leaps out.

but trying to look past the obvious, I scrambled them to:
(in no particular order)
loophole/frankie/ken/phe

probably just finding what I want to find again

[UnimportantHero]

I combined LegionInfinity's letters with my own, figured out which letters did not match up and gave it another listen for just those letters. What I came up with is this:

[drizjr]

The change of voice from woman to girl must mean something.
If this is an anagram, maybe it's to designate the length of the words in the message.
2 - 3 - 4 - 2- 3 - 7
One seven letter word that might apply is FRANKIE.

[carmenmiranda]

I was thinking the same thing. I tried de-vignering it, but assuming "Frankie" for the last word didn't yield anything helpful. I also tried "Montauk," and again, nothing helpful.

Also, I tried de-baconing it, and came up with either mpyz or wska, depending on what's a and what's b. Of course, the "e" at the end screws up that theory.

Again, zilch.

I think someone smarter than me is going to have to solve this one!

[UnimportantHero]

It could also be indicating capital or "big" letters whereas the childs voice indicates lower case or "small" letters? Also if the number of letters in each line indicates the number of letters in which word drizjr suggests, perhaps using a letter does not remove it from the jumble. Perhaps these are merely the letters that all the words have to work with. So the same letter can be used multiple times so long as it is in a different word? One of the unfortunate difficulties here is that sounds can be processed very differently if you are looking at written letters or trying to hear something that you want to hear. This is why people get song lyrics wrong consistently throughout their life or if someone write down a sentence that has similar vowel and consonant sounds to a song lyric, and you look at it while listening you will likely hear the written sentence and not the actual lyric. What we need is someone with really good ears who can hear well through the static. The accent throws me off ever so slightly too, since I am stateside and not often exposed to the variety of British accents.

I like this puzzle. I feel like it is not beyond me. ^_^
