We're most certainly not going to "back off". We're going to find him!

Do you see anything else odd in the email, I'm asking because I saw something myself. I just don't want to go out on a limb before checking with another person.

Do any of you see something odd perhaps in the email? It does sound to me like maybe someone else is the one who wrote it. Like it was a joke about death or something, like 'going on vacations permanently' or something...but I was just wondering if I'm way off on this.



AH! I just figured it out! The comment about punctuation on the wiki threw a switch in my brain - it's morse code. "...---..." is "SOS"

Had to restrain myself from yelping aloud when I figured it out - I'm in a public place. XD

 		Nice find Very Happy I asked him about it.

EDIT-
Artemis asked us to add this to the wiki. So I started a topic on it. Hopefully we can get him help soon!

Greetings,

I am a junior investigator working for verus investigations, my badge number is 33756-8708.

If I may, I have a few questions. Where is your family from?

Your father was linked with Edmund Fitzpatrick in 1984, what was it that your father did for a living, and how was he involved with Edmund Fitzpatrick?

the bottom paragraph I sent to him a few weeks ago he responded yesterday with the middle and the top I got today
Soren doesnt have Daniel.
DOD or Edmund or both kidnapped Daniel
still haven't heard back from Helen
does it seem odd how he intentionally misspelled the sentence?

 		The phone number on the Wiki is live
the wiki has an article about the investigation with a phone number
The website for VI lists the office number as
(571) 447-3389. The wiki address is:
http://verusinvestigations.wikispaces.com

A guy answered said "Uhh hello, Verus Investigations"
I gave him my badge number, told him Soren was in touch with me and didn't know where Daniel was.
The guy on the phone (forgot to get a name, negative points for bad investigation!) said this was news to him. I asked if there was anything else I could do, he said no so I hung up!
TRUE INTERACTION!!!!!!
sorry having fun now

 		Busy night tonight
Helen has now emailed me:
Message body


I haven't heard from Daniel in days, but you shouldn't worry. He has a job that has him going all over the world.
The gifts had a P.O. Box for a return address which has hasn't been used in years ever since we both turned 21.

I've already surmised that the poor man must have been a stand-in. My father is still alive because of him and I fear I will never know who to pray for!

Thanks for following up.

So thats a dead end on finding Edmund

 		Lol, the phone number's been real the whole time. I called it by accident when I got the response to them recieving my app. xD I hung up too.

Was the response sent from a cell phone? Because I got an email from daniel once that was in text talk like that, came from a cell phone. As soon as he was back in real email he spoke normally.


I think it sounds like the government picked up daniel. I think it was posted as an overheard conversation or something.

 		no it's all email
So Artemis informed Helen about Daniel. Helen said Daniel got an email and was happy.
I emailed Helen and asked for the email, pointing out that Soren Black has threatened me!
You think pity might get a responce quicker?

 		Has anyone heard anything from Helen, Dan, or anyone lately? I know the secure site has updated and has added a forum, but nothing new was there a little while ago.

I am worried about this whole Helen, Dan thing --

We are missing something or need more info or something. Anyone have any updates?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is a Baconian cipher. It decodes to "EDMUND FITZPATRICK IS GOING TO CLEVELAND MEETING HELEN SOMEWHERE REFERRED TO AS THE BRADY HOUSE AT PM LOCAL TIME PUT A TAIL ON HELEN". Here's the site I used for future reference http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/baconian.php

 		Did Helen meet with Edmund?

Is Daniel still missing? Helen says not to worry -- an email from him has SOS in morse code.

Should we be trying to identify Mr. Body?

Are we looking for Black? Sr. and/or Jr.?

I am kind of lost. Confused

 		Verus Investigations
I suggest you apply to VI to get an ID# by signing up on the main site verusinvestigations.info.

In the meantime go to http://verusinvestigations.wikispaces.com for publicly available info.

Not much is going on in here - there's plenty of posts at the wiki and the secure site.
