Episode 4

Physical Contents

Frannie's Letter

  • Frannie wrote some kind of cipher at the bottom of her letter this time.
  • The reason she says to "hang on to this" is because we cannot solve this message yet.

    • Dun dun dun!
    • Why would she give us a coded message we can't solve until a future episode?

Harold Campaign Money Statements

  • Timestamps are written backward.

    • The first number set is the day of the week.
    • The second number set is the hour (in military time)
    • The third number set is the minute.
    • The fourth number set is the second.
    • The fifth number set is the millisecond.
  • Ashley was murdered between 7:45 PM (1945) and 8:15 PM (2015)

    • The closest transaction around this time was at Chowly's at 1933 (7:33 PM)
  • Jesus Christ on the wire transfer Judith made to the Police Benevolent Association for upgrading their security!


Judith's Emails

  • These emails are a hoot.
  • According to what Judith found out, all transfers over $2,000 must be done in person.

Pill Case

  • Reggie found this on Ashley's desk at home next to her "to investigate" pile.
  • Inside the "Wednesday" compartment is a tiny note.
  • Ashley was in contact with someone.
  • There are several letter substitutions throughout this message (very poorly done if trying to be secretive).
  • The objective is to figure out the correct letters in the "misspelled" words to create a message.
  • Once decoded, the message reads:

    • BRINGING PROOF
  • Could this "secret alliance" be the killer and they lured Ashley to her death with this promise of "proof"?


Recording Transcripts

  • These recordings were picked up from Val, the "spy machine" in the campaign office breakroom.
  • It kind of seems someone is attempting to write a "rap" song?

Reggie's Letter

  • Reggie continues to lament over her sister's death.
  • She also sheds some light on a few items we've been sent: a few bank statements and the pill bottle.

Stress Squeeze

  • This is a stress ball in the shape of a leaf.
  • It is from Valvidian (in light of the "green" movement?).

TFC Campaign Money Statements

  • Timestamps are written backward.

    • The first number set is the day of the week.
    • The second number set is the hour (in military time)
    • The third number set is the minute.
    • The fourth number set is the second.
    • The fifth number set is the millisecond.
  • Ashley was murdered between 7:45 PM (1945) and 8:15 PM (2015)

    • The closest transaction around this time was a redacted wire transfer for $2,500 at 1949 (7:49 PM)
    • It can be assumed that Sebastian made this transfer, as it has been redacted.
    • As noted in Judith's emails, all transactions over $2,000 must be made in person.
  • As noted in Frannie's letter, there are notes written and then redacted all over this statement.

    • The added notes can be read still due to indentations of the writing instrument.
  • The notes added by Sebastian are:

    • family
    • special treatment
    • BO from V donation charity
    • campaign event

Unfinished Article

  • Ashley was really focused on that car crash...
