[WIMK][TRAILHEAD] Who is Megan Kyle?

[gazdemon]

I got this email:

[Esteed]

ROT-13-ing the first code from thebruce's email gives me this:

[Onionring]

Hmm, got a similar e-mail:

[Esteed]

EDIT: Beaten to the punch. I'm assuming the quotes at the bottom of the emails have some meaning as well. They seem to sort of piece together.

So she has a blog. Good start. I'll try emailing her saying something like, "We can hear you," or something.

[Mikeyj]

For the sake of completeness, I received the same message as Onionring at 2:28 GMT. Also replied.

[Edit]

Got auto-response

[Esteed]

Sent an email saying, "You're being heard loud and clear." This is what I got back riiiiight away, so probably automated.

If you look at the decoded sentences, some letters that shouldn't be capitalized are. Here they all are, with the letters I mean bolded:

I thInk I maDe a mIstake phIllIp I dont thInk I belong out here.

I dont eveN KNOw whether anybody Can hEar me.

The loneliness OF The empty spaceS iS overwhelming

Not sure if it means anything or not, but I thought I'd throw it out there. It doesn't look like it's an anagram, though I may have missed something on the list, and none of the decoders on the SNEAK tool seem to work. Any ideas?

My email is the same as Brucey's...

[Esteed]

Perhaps not what the PMs intended, but while looking at the "whoismegankyle" line all jumbled together, I thought "whois" and "Megan Kyle". Which led to me thinking, "Maybe there's a website." Sure enough?

http://whoismegankyle.com/

Haven't checked the source or entered the site or anything yet, I'll update once I do.

EDIT: Looking at the site, the name Abraxas caught my eye immediately. If I remember correctly, Abraxas is a demon in Hell, possibly one of the higher demons but I'm not entirely sure. I'll be checking out her blog (linked on the site) to see more info, and then the forums for the site to see if I can find the report from the person that claims to have chatted with her on an instant messenger.

I found these interesting:

a comment on the brother's blog:

Hey, uh...you don't know me, but a few friends of mine received emails from whoever this person claiming to be your sister is. It seemed like old mails, but there were coded messages in them and some new text, all jumbled together. You can IM me using AIM at SamRey56 or email me at carnage897SPLATyahoo.com if you want to talk more about it, I'd like to help in any way I can.

edit: the email Phillip recieved:

It's funny, it looks a lot like the enigma cipher I was playing with yesterday (format and all that.) Also, Fifth Rail Ltd. is a British Railroad service of some kind. edit: the email, I mean. the numbers I'm still playing with.
