Episode 6

Physical Contents

Ami Letter

  • Ami recounts the final items she has found for us:

    • Toby's last notebook pages
    • Conrad's little journal
    • Another page of Emma's journal

  • She says she was able to log in to Toby's email account.

Bookmark

  • There is Morse code on the back.

  • Once deciphered, the messages read:

    • "Resetting trap after dinner?"
    • "Probably, why?"
    • "Take Toby"
    • "Nah u wanna come tho?"
    • "I'm staying here tonight"
    • "Fine"

Email Chain

  • Wow, it took the magazine over 2 months to get back to him...
  • The last email from Toby's account to the magazine obviously was not written by him. The tone is all wrong and it is not formal like the others.

  • It was sent at 10:12 pm the night Toby died. But he left camp at 9:00 pm.

    • Emma accompanied Rusty on resetting the trap.
    • Lillian was off taking a photo of golden hour.
    • Nigel has already been eliminated as a suspect.
    • So that only leaves the old fart to be the one to write the email, be seen on the trail cams, and murder Toby.

Field Journal Page

  • Emma reveals that Toby planned to sell the animal as soon as it was found.

  • It sounds as if she were the one who wrote the suspicious email from Toby's account, but she was with Rusty at the time.

    • So unless she somehow wrote it when Toby caught her in his tent and scheduled it to send later...

Keychain

  • This holds a microfiber cloth with a slip of paper wrapped up inside.

  • The slip of paper reads:

    • "Share: AutoFocus724"

Lanyard

  • This actually pulls apart to reveal a concealed USB stick...
  • When plugged in, all it contains is 2 very out-of-focus "washed" photos.

  • According to Toby's notebook page, he digitally distorted them.

    • I wonder if/how we can un-distort them.
    • They should show what Conrad buried by the catacombs.

PI Letter

  • Michelle is back with us for the last leg of this race.
  • She gives us our final password for her website.

Pocket Journal

  • Certain words are coded in this journal. It is a simple substitution cipher which can be cracked by common sense deduction of certain words and patterns and going from there.
