Robert D. Aura sounds a bit like Robert D' Oro or "of Gold" so maybe google around Robert Gold?


If that turns out to be true then I think this ARGs gone way over my head. Laughing

 		Images
While reviewing the video, I found some seemingly random images pop up in the video tears, including the image posted by M13A77. These two stood out.


This is a vent to the right of the door that Michael is looking out of in the beginning of the video. Maybe it contains something?



This image occurs near the end of the video, when the camera is focused on the empty chair. As you can see, it's similar to the one that M13A77 posted, but with colors.



Thoughts?

Shadow- What video software are you using.

 		M13A77 - yes, it's from the second distortion. And the video software is avidemux.

It just stood out to me because of the colors and the edges are blurred. Maybe it's insignificant.

Robert,
I am so sorry to hear about your son. Where were you when he went missing? Did he leave anything else behind that might help you find him? This is a good place to start looking and I hope we can help find him.

This is what I received back on 13 Jan...

Batt,

I very much appreciate your concern for the well being of my son. I will try to recall the incident as best I can. My family and I (Michael included) were on a camping trip last summer, 2009 in a town not far from where I live currently. Everything was fine, except Marion and I had noticed a few weeks beforehand that Michael was acting a bit nervous outdoors. We thought all of this was just stress-related, as are many things for a person his age, and felt taking him camping would help him re-strengthen the bond he once enjoyed with nature. One morning however Michael was not in his tent. I had figured he may have gone to use the outhouse, but when he had not come back for quite a while his mother and I grew worried. In a panic, we both searched the woods for a few days straight, and alerted the authorities of the situation. We did not find him. The only fruit the forest had to bare was his camera, which I cherish as the only thing I have left of him.

I hope this has helped.

Robert D. Aura


P.S. Earlier this week it was suggested that I should check any old photos or videos I have of Michael, and upload them. I am unsure why. But I have begun my searching


Hope the pictures show up soon.

 		Just popped in and looked at the vid. I managed to stop it near the static area, and if you look at the chair, there is a boy propped on it standing. You can clearly see him move a little from one stopping point to the next. But it's like he's super small compared to the chair??

--- On second thought, I can't tell what it's supposed to be. Looks kinda like a dancing glass. lol

 		Yeah I saw that as well. It looks to me like a person further back from the chair moving around.

 		I sent him a message on youtube. Telling him of the word "walking" and if it means anything to him. I also suggested he look at the vent that the camera pointed towards during the static. I'll post back when I get a reply.

I asked about that, Robert said:

Quote:
In regards to the video name, I am unfamiliar with the programing of the camera and chose to upload with the name it was automatically assigned.


So, if its any kind of clue, we're not being given any hints. Razz

Edit: Looking at the video again, the bit after the distortion where its looking at the chair, it appears as if the camera man (presumably Michael) is looking at something and following it as it moves, but its too dark to see anything.

 		I find the part where he says "The only fruit the forest had to bare" to be kind of out of place I could also just be over thinking but it seems odd.

 		I got a reply! :3

I sent him this message:

I was watching your video and I noticed that during the distortion you can faintly see the word "walking" in front of the static. Does this stand out to you in anyway? I also noticed that during all the distortion a frame of film showed a wall with a vent inside of it. It might sound crazy but you could attempt to see whats inside the vent.
Let me know!
Cheers!


He responded with:

XxPostalDudexX,

I have never noticed both images you described in your message, despite watching that video many times in search of something. Finally, I have a plausible lead yet again. I will examine the vent in the basement as soon as possible. I thank you for pointing this out to me and for your concern for my search.

Robert D. Aura.


I told him to make a video if he finds something interesting or is confused by anything he finds.

EDIT:
Hey! He made a new video showing the backyard! I'll be sure to look through the video more thoroughly for a moment but I did notice that whenever he looked near the shack we heard distortion in the camera.

He also mentioned my suggestion in the description so can't wait to see that either.

If this is the son's account, is it significant that he seems to be obsessed with Scatman John?

Something to do with the cats? Confused
