So, can we take it as read that he works at CERN?
Only swiss physics place I know of.

We also have DOB there. May be useful, probably not.

Both of the last activity that can be seen on both accounts is at the end of january. What can we take from this? That they didnt really update their profiles very much? In which case how did Jason know that meant Rebecca was missing?

[Leyton Stone]

Jason got an emergency appointment @ the doc's today... Left about an hour ago.

Maybe we'll hear something soon.

[Nighthawk]

Not the best acting in the news report, but I guess we can't have everything, can we?

OK, I friended and "poked" Rebecca (naughty, naughty Facebook!) and Martin. Don't expect much out of that; after all, if they are kidnapped I doubt they'll be checking Facebook.

Under Rebecca's Facebook the employer is "NHS". Is that the hospital or something? There's no description of what the letters mean, but there are a ton of other people that work there.

And, for the record, both profile photos were taken at the same time (Rebecca's wearing the same top in Martin's photo), but Martin's was uploaded on February 13th (not that I have much faith in the dates being "in game", but still).

We also have email addresses...

Martin: mcdowell2007SPLATgmail.com
Rebecca: becca.mcdowell81SPLATgooglemail.com

[Silverback]

I also suspect the photos on the site are the same due to both wearing the same outfits etc.

NHS= National Health Service. The UK nationalised healthcare provider.

Pretty much did exactly the same as you dude. pokes and mails all round.


EDIT....
UPDATE!:

Look what I found
Hey guys, thanks for your help! I went back to the Doctor's today, and this time I had more luck!

I decided to give Silverback's excuse a shot, and it worked pretty well. She hadn't heard of many allergic reactions to inhalers, but spent a while looking up my (fake) symptoms. I was hoping that she'd have to consult with another doctor and would leave the room, but unfortunately she didn't.

Some quick thinking gave me another idea. I asked her if the fact that I smoke affects my asthma, and whether the nurse would be free to see about giving up. I guess even though it's a Saturday, she was so keen to help that she left the room immediately to see if the nurse was available. What do the NHS have against smokers? It's almost as if healing the world starts at wiping out cigarettes!

Anyway. I used the time alone to hunt around Rebecca's room. Nothing out of the ordinary could be found, apart from the note under her keyboard! Here's a picture of it. I hope you can work out what it means…

I'm glad the nurse wasn't available, I'm not really interested in giving up. It's times like these when a good cigarette can come in handy.


And a couple of pics


Thats texas right? Why would a physicist be in Texas? NASA?
And what do the numbers inside relate to?
I think thats a drawing of Martin looking at the 'tasch.

Riddle relating to these images it looks like. Anyone thinking the same?

NOTE TEXT=
1000 words encoded in a single picture
Most are useless!
But several pictures build a story...

[Lunsford]

looks like a safe in the bottom portion of the letter.. or something with a keypad on the front.. also is that the letter L crossed out??

[Leyton Stone]

It looks like a clock... Stating 3 O'Clock which is crossed out.

Also the thing, in the safe kind of also looks like a USB stick and HD to me.

Has anyone tried destegging any of the FB Pics?

Edit: We do need to desteg a pic somewhere... I got this whilst looking up the info on Steganos Security Suite.

"The Steganos Security Suite is a complete, easy to use security suite that uses strong encyption and steganographic techniques to hide data in image and music files. Steganos Safe protects your sensitive data - it serves as your encrypted hard disk. You open the safe with a password, USB stick or your ActiveSync-capable SmartPhone: via Bluetooth or even wireless."

Look at the pics in the note again.

Edit again: Jason says inside the map of "Texas" seems to be written two sets of numbers.

091
2361

I typed those numbers in google and got a pdf file for a patent; but you have to register on the site to find what it is. Kinda doubting it's anything to do w/ this.

[Nighthawk]

Where's the link to the BIG wanted poster? Am I blind or is it not there anymore?

Small wanted poster and two Facebook pictures are coming up negative on steg apparently, but I admit it's the first time I try to use this thing.

[Leyton Stone]

Same here.

Both FB pics... Small "Missing" (not wanted night lol) poster and the note itself coming up negative.

And yeah the huge one seems to be gone, too.

[Silverback]

Why would she leave in a note in a poster Jason made to report her missing? That wouldn't make sense.

I'm sure its just that note. I'm thinking it's like pictionary.

It looks like:

NO TIME .... SAFE

dunno what that thing is. A knot? as in not safe?
A ring? makes sense if that is a phone number in texas.

EDIT: For further use posters etc are in this dir
http://locatemyfriends.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/02
Think it was removed because of all the police talk.

ROTATED FOR YOUR CONVINIENCE

[petunia]

Texas? w00t! *starts playing catch-up*

[Sylvia]

Don't know if this helps or not but there is a Martin, TX. Maybe the numbers are an address or something.

On the image above the thing beside the safe looks like this hex number 10100101 which is 16 16 1 1 in decimal and EBABAQ== in base 64.
