i'm trying to figure out the website to continue following the story... i assume it is in the image, but have been coming up with naught so far.

web searching the writer and such to no avail... is there a better search engine for this kind of thing than Google?

Those b//w markings appear to be letters from the Ogham Alphabet 'tho am too dufos to glean any English translation from them (iriacsai). HTH

Hey Am. Good find on the Ogham.
Check my work, but from bottom to top I can get IASCAIRI Irish for FISHERMEN ?

BRIL Booba! You can buy a vowel from me anytime. Very Happy fwiw the yellowed newspaper page is titled "464b" (from HEX to ascii=FK) & photoshop brought up nada for me on its blackened pixels.

God I'm excited for this, can't wait for more developments. On the other side, can't seem to think of any way to progress at the moment besides contacting Seattle police, which sounds like a really bad idea. The only other course, besides the ceaseless searching that I really don't see going anywhere but will continue anyway, is if anyone is in Seattle, wants to snoop. Idk.

Almost positive this is the PM or at least the person that owns the domain.

He's clearly a fellow Whovian. Wink

Hi, all! I've been lurking a bit, so I thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. Anyway, according to this guy's twitter, he has a cousin named Peter... and from what we already know, Peter's supposed to be "dead soon." I'm thinking that's his bad night?

Anyone try translating the new Ogham? I got "narb"... pretty sure it's wrong.

Hi specterseymour. What booba remembered is that Ogham is usually read bottom to top so it's "bran". Maybe Brandon's nickname? Am also antsy for any update.

Oh, that's what he meant! I feel like an idiot now. But yeah, that must be it, I doubt it's a fiber reference.
Am anxious for an update myself, I'm really enjoying the setup to this one.

Edit: In case anyone's curious, here's a map linking Brandon's city and school and Seattle. Seems as though our fishermen are active throughout the Puget Sound area. http://goo.gl/maps/KOiij

"bran" is also Irish for raven or crow, which seems to fit the theme of black birds.

I just got a reply on Brandon's twitter. "Thanks for the support. Peter is doing ok. I can't really say anything past that right now"

The only thing bothering me, is that there is something wrong with Peter. He's not dead, which is what the video lead us to believe.

Patiently waiting further updates... Shocked


EDIT : Probably not anything to do with anything, but I found three black birds on a wire.

all ravens, and posters for raven coffee. Very Happy
