For giggles, I emailed the faux Jimmy and said his son would like to meet him over some Cherry Coke.

I got a response from this:

Oooooh.....That would be splendin. Hopefully they get my order right this time

This promted me to email his son, to which I also recieved a response.

I thought my father was dead.........although, no body was ever found

You dad is contacting some friends of mine. He would like to meet you over some Cherry Coke.


I enjoyed some Lulz. Thoughts on which direction I should go from here on out?


Remember that faux Jimmy doesn't know Mr Jimmy's son is alive or that the information was contained in the code. I think we've agreed to keep it that way for now...

In that case, perhaps we should contact Jimmy's son and confirm the code was his doing and try to figure out what happened to his dad.

Not hurt, I kind of tried to disappear after my father was killed, He had some "bad" friends, and I think they may have done it. Im afraid they might come after me next

Did some more Wiki reading. The article for "You can't always get what you want" describe Mr. Jimmy as a Schizophrenic.

"An urban legend developed concerning the origin of the song was that it was the result of Jagger's chance meeting with a schizophrenic named Jimmy Hutmaker after a concert in 1964."

Coupled with the most recent emails between me and Mr. Jimmy's son...Well, draw your own conclusions. Read from the bottom up.

Ya, he had some problems with understanding what was happening in real life, and what was his imagination. The doctors could never really figure out what it was.

Something that only we would know....Maybe the name of his favorite song.

Thank you for the update. I will notify my associates.
I should mention something however;
This person, while he demonstrates several traits of your father, thinks he may have killed Mr. Jimmy, however he admits that his mind is rather foggy. I do not mean to sound rude, bid your dad have memory lapses or trouble discerning reality? He also seems to react to references to your Dad's life. Is there anything beyond this email address that only you two would know?

Yes, I sent that, hoping that someone would find it after he disappeared. Last time I heard from my father, he was going to a drug store, to get his prescription filled. After I hadnt heard from him in a while, I filed a missing person report. There was no body found, so I dont even know if he is for sure dead. I dont know how he would get the e-mail though. Me and my dad were the only ones who knew it. He was kinda kooky.

So say many.
However it appears someone is using his email account and name to contact associates of mine. Aparently the person using this account found this in in inbox:

72 101 108 112 32 109 101 44 32 84 104 105 115 32 105 115 32 77 114 46 32 74 105 109 109 121 39 115 32 115 111 110 46 46 46 46 46 46 73 32 100 111 110 116 32 107 110 111 119 32 105 102 32 121 111 117 32 107 110 111 119 32 119 104 111 32 73 32 97 109 32 111 114 32 110 111 116 44 32 66 117 116 32 73 32 97 109 32 115 116 105 108 108 32 97 108 105 118 101 46 32 13 10 13 10 77 114 46 74 105 109 109 121 115 111 110 64 103 109 97 105 108 46 99 111 109

Translated, it means:
Help me, This is Mr. Jimmy's son......I dont know if you know who I am or not, But I am still alive.

Mr.JimmysonSPLATgmail.com

I am guessing this was you that sent this to that account. Do you have any information about your father's disappearance that might help determine if this person might be friend or foe?

I'll keep an eye on this one too. I love ARGs where you learn stuff too - I'm a sucker for random information!

Hey that's really good info, Magus... thanks!

But Jimmy Jr didn't say what the favorite song was, did he?

And IF faux jimmy is schizo jimmy... well I don't even know how to proceed with that one.

Yeah, I'm trying to make heads or tails out of this one myself. My gut feeling is that Jimmy, low on his meds, just wandered off. For a few moments of clarity, he checked his email and, after said clarity wore off, decided to randomy throw something together for the OP.

I think it is in Jimmy's son's (Prolly should ask his name in one of these emails, lol) best interest to withhold some info, but I can provide the name of the song given by Faux Jimmy to confirm or deny.

However the whole "Bad friends" thing keeps nagging at me. I'm going to try to get clarification on that.

I'll post with any updates.

Sorry, above post was me.

Apologies for double post.

I have also emailed a picture of Mr. Jimmy to Faux Jimmy.
I wonder if this will elicit a response.

Send an email to both Faux Jimmy and Junior.
Have not heard back.
