 		Cipher is solved. You can see it here.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The first video's code is, "The world is out of order." Yesterday's video's is "which one?"


I have no idea about any of the riddles, or if they even are riddles. I haven't done anything with the webdings or unicode or whatever from yesterday's video yet.

So obviously the vast majority of DNC's stuff is religious/Jesusy/what-have-you. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Edit: If we're trying to figure out location then DNC's last video looks pretty promising. It looks like there are palm trees in the outside scenes. The brunette chick's license plate is solid yellow - but that doesn't really mean anything. From what I can see (and I'm not sure) it looks like the cars in DNC's last two videos don't have license plates on the front. That limits us down to around 20 states. You can see that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_the_United_States#Front.2Frear_mounting Again, not sure of any of this - I only have a few minutes to look at the videos right now. And finally one of the girls was in an Apple store. If we pick a state and look through the Apple stores in that state, I'm sure we could locate the shopping center. Their site is ridiculous.

In some of the shots from the new DNC video, it looks like he is stalking the women in an outdoor shopping center. We need to look for apple stores in outdoor shopping centers. I say this with confidence because where I live there is an apple store in an....(ready for this?) outdoor shopping center lol

 		May I ask how did you get the new grid for the cipher? I know where the phrase comes from, it's just I don't get how did you manage to get that.

 		Hi, I'm new to ARG's, but I've been following this one with some interest.

I don't know how to post images, but in the new DNC video at 58s there is a shot of a woman walking past a blue sign with information about following the store on facebook or twitter. The sign says it's a store at Westfield Century City, which is located at 10250 Santa Monica Blvd in California based off the website http://www.westfield.com/centurycity/

You're right it is Century City. There's also a Sony store and Century City is the only place where Sony have changed "Sony Style" to just plain "Sony".

 		I think this is the address from DNC's last video

4429 Inglewood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90066

You can see the yellow apartments from the video

I'm going to see if I can find out what the whole incident was about.

 		Catatoe and Gnash, you're awesome.

Threadbare - I asked DNC for some hints and was able to figure out the grid after messing with it for a while.

 		FWIW, the photo linked to in the video description can be found here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/sets/72157621549428054/detail/

Says it was taken in Piedmont, Ca, which is near Oakland.

 		MyDadsTapes just tweeted
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I had read that the phrase is used to test keyboards and typewriters because it contains all 26 letters, making it useful as a key, but never made the connection to 35=26 until now.

 		Found something...

Which leads to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://twitter.com/#!/downthispath



Heh, so I guess I may have given the killer an idea, by saying we are looking for a twitter account. I checked for this twitter account (downthispath) when we first found the video with this in it. But the twitter account did not exist then.

 		His tag line on Twitter has now changed (at least I think)

It now says

"What's the magic word?"

Are we meant to tweet him something, I wonder if we should just say please or thank you, he seems very moralistic

Maybe the word has something to do with the number 9327?
