i highly doubt we even have the information needed to complete the puzzle. i think there will be more to it than Mr Klugman in the Alley with a Bowling Pin

MSD · 07-19-2012, 12:58 PM

Yeah, figuring out who did it might just be the first step in this whole process..

So we have no true source for the website then?

But was it given as a hint from topps or did some random person come up with the link?

Manmadeofsteel · 07-19-2012, 01:36 PM

Does someone have one of those ad cards that they scan the front and the back of...not the suspects cards....

lauriontj · 07-19-2012, 01:37 PM

I do...I'll get it up in a sec

see page 4 i believe... i posted a scan of 8 of them front and back (yes same card, but last years had subtle differences)

It's interesting on the promo cards that the phrase "be the first to crack the code" is in the style of the lettering that was on the ransom note found at the bowling alley.

lauriontj · 07-19-2012, 01:45 PM

Thanks M2cool2go..posted a bigger scan of them...

Manmadeofsteel · 07-19-2012, 01:47 PM

Yep exactly what I was thinking 7290 and also looking for hints on the phrase "The source code won't help you. Follow the instructions and turn back now."

Manmadeofsteel · 07-19-2012, 01:48 PM

Also looks like the letters were cut from another source....like the classic idea of newspaper printed letters from different newspapers...

lauriontj · 07-19-2012, 01:51 PM

what do you think the price of the Auto prize would be worth?

If they are all 1/1, id say 20 grand ish. If its just the base autos in a full set, id say BV plus 20% for a set. But who knows, really just what someone is willing to pay.

They're in a special frame stamped 1/1.

so wouldnt it be ideal for 5 of us to get together....win this contest, sell the set, split 20k 5 ways...and be done with this?

Looking at Dave Krin'g corrections, the following words were missing from the case files:

-None
-Between
-Though
-Marriage
-That Day

other corrections:

-Givens residence photo is of house across the street (possibly)
-Guttman residence is house featured in givens residence photo.

Might be relevant, might not be. I looked over the rest of the case file cards I have and couldn't find any other glaring mistakes. Some higher resolution scans of the card fronts could prove useful however.

Additionally, Trudy's reference to 3/31/95 on the blog...only thing I can find of note in the real world is the murder of pop-star Selena and the end of the MLB strike.

That's all for now. Back to grabbing at straws.

Manmadeofsteel · 07-19-2012, 02:13 PM

Kenny the missing words look important! Good JOB!

The end of the baseball strike could be important
