[Trailhead?] The Daily Murder

Got an email this morning:

Quote:
From: Josh Deau (josh.deauSPLATgmail.com)
Sent: October 15, 2007 9:39:57 AM
To: (a number of emails, don't recognize any, maybe one or two vaguely?)
Subject: Hello.‏

In case you're ever curious about the paranormal...

http://josh-deau.blogspot.com/

Stop by and say hello.


His blogspot leads to http://daily-murder.blogspot.com/

"We are a guerrilla news corp of 5 people looking into murders around the world. Only the coolest or strangest of murders will be chosen."

5 bios:
* Selene
* Alucard
* Shrii
* Dahmer
* White Rabbit

White Rabbit's bio/post:
Quote:
Hello, my name is White Rabbit. I'm the youngest of the reporters, and I get picked on a lot. I Love to look into murder cases, though, so you can be sure to hear a lot from me!

I'm female, and short. I don't have a favorite murderer, because that's kind of sick. My favorite show is Supernatural (Dean is soooo hot!)

I'm only 17, but I'm smarter than you'd think.

I got one too (I'm adminSPLATfullcirclemagazine.org).

I checked out both sites, but there's nothing of interest hidden in the source - no comments or anything, just standard Blogger stuff. I guess we'll be waiting on more stuff - I'll email him back, too.

Edit: If this launches, I'll be playing three (possibly four soon) ARGs at the same time. Cool

Something new -

On the Daily Murder blogspot, I opened up the header image (the big "Daily Murder" one XD).

It's linked to Photobucket, and with that comes a Photobucket account. In this case, it's "ee281". But there aren't any pictures as far as I can tell, besides the Daily Murder one,

I got prodded too (monookiSPLATneomail.com). Looks interesting so far, I'll probably be in since goldstein and helpmesolveaystery seems to be creeping right now.

EDIT: The upper blood spatter in the header photo kind of looks to me like it might resemble something readable. Anyone see what I mean? Trying to fiddle with it in any case.

EDIT #2: Wondering if the names have any relevance to anything. White rabbit is pretty obvious, Alucard is "Dracula" in reverse and could stem from Hellsing or Castlevania. Dahmer I'm guessing references Jeffrey Dahmer.

I also have gotten an eMail from Josh Deau. (chronus_valtielSPLATyahoo.com)

A lot of the people who had recieved the email I recognize as people who are deeply involved in SilverLadder (myself included).
I don't think it's related, but the PMs seem to have focused on this group.

Did anyone get this email?

"A photograph lay in among the rubble..."

From oagat capag?

It seems to be to some of the same people, so it might be related.

The Subject is: The Photograph.

The body says some thing to the effect of, a photo lays among the rubble.

I don't think there connected. I was watching just watching this forum thinking this might be fun to play and my cell phone goes off saying I have a new email. So I check it out and then other dude posts this and I am like show me the pic yo!

Yeah, bored at work. Anyway that is all.

So far there are no clear connections, actually. It just seemed too big a coincidence... but maybe I should start a new thread?

Actually, I will start a new thread.

Two trailheads started on the same day...it's gonna be hella busy for me.

Alright *clasp hands* let's get ready for work and to all the pLir guys, great campfire last night.

Anyway this looks like a prologue now..

I'm thinking these two are different but then again...I've been wrong before

But right about that shroud 2 game that went *.......splat*

That is strange...
I didn't get the oagat capag email....
This could be unrelated.
Either way, I'm looking forward to an update from these apparently murderous (at least that's what they seem to be IMHO) reporters....

ANNNND I got a new update from Josh Deau.
