 		I sent Regis two emails from that travel site. In one I told him I had a nice "guest suite" he could stay in for a reasonable price. He didn't reply yet to me. Hopefully he will I'm the next hour.

 		I know, I'm starting to feel rejected here. Why would Regis ignore my stalker-like behavior?

 		I just recieved an e-mail from Regis. I said I have property down there that he can rent if he wishes. I also asked him on some basic BG, going to Aus for Business or pleasure. If he has a job, etc.

If he says he works for a security company, I'll say that I have an issue with my personal system and if he could help me out. Hopefully I can get a copy of that error screen.

My police tatic did not work well. But I have another idea...

If I pretend I'm a new guy from his work and that we're in major trouble, and need to get a copy of that error screen ASAP. I'll try that when I get home.

WANT! Want SO bad! I mean it was from 2008. I wonder what ended up happening to the body parts.


Found this on Wikipedia and I thought it would have been cool here in the US, too:

Quote:
In preparation for the UK launch of the series, FX experimented with an SMS-based viral marketing campaign. Created by digital advertising agency Ralph & Co, and promoted by online PR and social media agency Hot Cherry, unsuspecting mobile phone owners received the following unsolicited SMS messages addressed to them by name with no identifying information other than being from "Dexter": "Hello (name). I'm heading to the UK sooner than you might think. Dexter." The SMS-message would be followed by an email directing the user to an online video "news report" about a recent spree of killings. Using on-the-fly video manipulation, the user's name and a personalized message would be worked into the report – the former written in blood on a wall by the crime scene, the latter added to a note in an evidence bag carried past the camera.

 		Hehe, yeah there was definitely some panic. I think it's cool though too.

Anyway, here's my conversation with Regis so far.

How did you get my number? How do you know me? Why are you asking about Santos?

I do apologize. I know this is a little strange. I heard your name from Santos and found you through your blog. I'm sorry to inform you of this, since I don't know if you were close, but Santos Jimenez has been murdered. I've come under the impression that you may have been working for his home security company at the time. You may have gone out to his house for a problem concerning his security system? If there's anything you can remember, anything at all, it may be incredibly helpful in bringing the person who did this to justice.

Either way, thank you for contacting me. I do hope to hear from you again.

Totally not a lie; I did hear his name from Jimenez...sort of. Razz

Many people have called me about this. One person said he was with the police. Are you with the police?

No, that I am not. But I have been assisting a watchdog community in tracking this specific killer. Unfortunately, Mr. Jimenez is not his only victim, and he doesn't seem like he's going to stop any time soon.

Just to be clear, I am aware of what Mr. Jimenez's true business was. I'm not concerned with that. If you have some reservations with speaking to me about this because I am not associated with the law, then I do urge you to please contact the Miami Police. On the other hand, if for some reason you have some reservations specifically with speaking to the police, there's no reason they need to know where this information came from.

Ok, I tell you what I know. In Miami, I was working for a security business. I was sent often to the home of Mr. Jimenez. He was nice to me, but I did not know him well.

Last time I go there a man attacke me from the back of my van, and choke me until I passed out. Later I wake up in the back of my van and my uniform shirt was away. I did not see much of the man, only for quickly in the rearview mirror. He was big, I think tall, with brow hair and light marron eyes, and white.

Santos was a good man. I am sad that he is now gone, but I could not tell the police because I was not legal for work. I am very sorry, but I did not want to be sent away. I hope you find your person.

By the way, "marron" is chestnut. And man, I know he's just a character, but I feel sorry for the poor guy.

 		Laughing I find it funny how Regis mentioned that somebody said they were with the police because somebody in this thread did that.

 		Hey, degravedi, would you mind if I posted those e-mails to my running, uhhhh, summary (there's got to be a better word) of what's going on in the game?

Also I wonder if anyone's going to get more information out of this guy. I think once we had milked Messua for his info he kind of disappeared into the ether.

Thank you so much for talking to me, Regis. I assure you, no one wants to get you in trouble. I'm also sorry for what happened to you, that must have been very scary. I have just a few more questions if I may, then I promise I'll leave you alone.

One, do you feel comfortable telling me the name of the company? If the killer still has your work shirt, it might be of use.
And two, I'm looking for an error report from Mr. Jimenez's security system that he may have sent to one of the technicians. It may have looked like gibberish, a bunch of zeros and ones. Would you happen to be the technician he sent that to? Or do you know someone else that might have received it?

-D

I am sorry, I was sent to fix it, but I have told you what I know.

So, crap. Guess he wasn't the guy who got the message and he didn't say anything about the company name. Anyone else want to try to specifically get him to name the company he worked for?

ETA: Or does anyone want to direct him to SleepSuperbly and ask if that's the same guy??

Also, I love your pro-Infinity idea, angel. I've seen some of these games make you choose one side or the other as they go on and I'm telling you what, if that happens you can bet Dee's gonna be in trouble. Twisted Evil

She would be in trouble. I've been in games like that before, too, and what's even stranger is how much it twists your perception of the actual text when it comes down to it. Even with something like The Dark Knight--if the Joker told you to do something, you did it. When I went to see the movie with a bunch of people who had been playing the game, one of those guys brought his wife, who afterwards apparently expressed legitimate concern with how pro-Joker everybody was. But it seems that you're biased towards the person who lets you have the most fun, and the Joker delivered. Even with District 9, you had to choose if you were human or alien. (Or you would sign up as both under different names, which I'm fairly confident, uhhh, everybody did.) Then again, I guess it's not too surprising that the majority of Dexter fans, when pressed to choose between the fictional law or the fictional serial killer, would select the serial killer.

Also, thanks for letting me post the stuff! It'll probably be up later tonight. I'm betting this is probably the end of what we'll hear from Regis Bisinha. That's kind of like the last e-mail I got from Messua; I think they assume you'll tell everyone, so there you have it.

Also I'm not sure that directing him to Sleep Superbly would be very useful, if for nothing but the fact that you can't see his face. It seems odds-on that we are looking at the same guy.

Also, I say "also" too much.

 		Why are we trying to get the name of the company? So we can hack his email? Did anyone ask him if he got a screenshot of the error screen? He just may need his memory jogged on that and then he will answer. After admitting that he was here illegally -- which like is a big admission-- I don't think he is going to give up the name of a company that hires illegal immigrants.

If he went to the house many times, I wonder if he installed the bugs in the house that Santos used to record the cops on.

I don't think he is going to tell us all he knows about Santos, but who would expect him to do so.

Could someone please tell him his photos are great! And maybe ask about the bugs and the screenshot? And that now that his name and blog are all over the net he may want to be careful, or would that just scare him? Maybe just knowing that he can help identify a serial killer will cause him to be careful.

I did try to email him but I just got the autoreply - nothing else. I wasn't able to call him.

I do enjoy his blog. Smile

And, good job everyone!

edit: is it a better idea to just sent him the links to the audio and see if that jogs his memory??

I dunno, it sounds like Bisinha never actually made it into the house.
