"Help Solve an Open Murder Case"


It's certainly a good idea to ask the public for help if specialists (in this case cryptologists) can't get on with a solution to a problem.

On June 30, 1999, Ricky McCormick was found dead. He had been murdered and dumped in a field in Missouri. The only clues regarding this incident were two encrypted notes found with the victim. The FBI is asking the public for help (click here).

Also in science it is not unusual to ask for help: see Foldit - Solve Puzzles for Science. Only in the realm of politics it is still kind of "against the rules" to ask the public for help ...

  1. Hello:

    --I suggest you to do this to solve the problem of FBI about Mccormick. Look note two, last line, said:
    +"O-W-m-4 H8L XORLX"

    --Can you see which letters are repeated?
    --Can you remember HAL 9000?. Then....

    +If X= Variations of the letter "C" (MC,C,CK), typical shorthand solution.
    +If L= M, m= N and H= I by Caesar code B.
    +If O=O, W=W and R=R.
    +If 4= four= for and 8= eight= eit= ei= letter "A" by phonetic solution.
    +If the hyphen join the letters to a Word; then that means:

    --"OWN FOR I AM MCCORM(i)CK.

    --It is the signature, last will and testament of Mccormick. And the master key.

    Bye from Barcelona.

  2. Muchas Gracias, Joseph! Good luck for further investigations! And don't forget to submit to the FBI: http://forms.fbi.gov/code. (Do they offer some prize?)

  3. Hello, again .... an update.

    -It is a STENOGRAPHIC problem.
    -The plaintext not exist.

    -Only exist a Stenographyc text that was hidden with a personal shorthand system with some measures of deception.

    + If my theory is correct at the northern entrance of "Marais temps Clair CA" (mo) is a house with number 35.
    - So Mccormick stenographic notes tell us how we can find $ 99.840 and more ... hidden in a suitcase buried in Marais Temps Clair CA (MO) and must enter in that place by the side of the home 35 which is located at a distance of 36 and 29 miles from Mccormick´ home (1400 Chouteau Avenue, St Louis, Missouri).



    UPDATE master key

    -Look 2nd note,last line, i see that:
    "O-W-m-4 H8L XORLX"

    +If O=O, W=W and R=R
    +If m=N, H=I and L=M using Caesar Code B or +1
    +If X= Variations of the letter "C" (MC,C and MC) using shorthand
    +If 4= four= FOR by phonetic solution like SMS language.
    +If 8= eight= eit= ei= letter "A" by phonetic solution like SMS language (example L8= late or leight, H8= hate ....)
    +If the hyphen join the letters in a word.
    +If we add vowel "i" by transcription shorthand solution.
    THEN.....

    "O-W-m-4 H8L XORLX" means "OWN-FOR I AM MCCORM(i)CK".

    It is the signature, last will or testament of Mccormick.

    + If you think "4" is not "4" but "y"
    + If you think "8" is not "8" but "I" then the solution is:

    "Y"= wai= WHY or WAY by phonetic solution, similar sound.
    "I"= ai= letter "A" by phonetic graphic representation.

    THEN= "O-W-m-Y HIL XORLX" = "OWN-WHY? I AM MCCORMICK"

    + My "rebuilding" of Mccormick note two:
    (A shorthand transcript solution "imaginative")

    1- Everything is well bound and tied — No problem at home — The plan errors have been overcome.
    2- The way loss is easy to find, the effort to do this is not excessive.
    3- You rather try to highlight what had been written.
    4- This is what i would like to happen and so had been.
    5- The contents of the package found enthuse you and look for what will happen.

    6- This delivery has been left tied to you , so take advantage to your liking.
    7- The disease is killing me, i should rest more often, my view is clouded, i am already a memory of what i was. Enemy in sight.
    8- Take this with a mate and enjoy.

    9- And to me i would like to be there and see how you get past the 2 crossroads and untie my hints to obtain the yield.
    10- 36 miles to see, 1974 leaving the railway, and look 29 keep. Rather you have to consider these three numbers together.
    11- You should see the home number 35 and you can grab the package will be seen in the hole.
    12- You must subtract 651 steps to find the bag lost and if you dig through there you will find more than ….
    13- 99.840 dollars for you left in a suitcase that you will again to take care to seek and find.
    14- And to shed light on the place where this could have been placed — (three Corm). //option 2 (tree Corm)//.

    15- And meditate and learn about the awful things that happen and avoid the wrong trail that you could follow. Awful things i think are necessarily crazy.
    16- You stop being lazy and see and gaze the world around you, and look stop pretending that you are busy and this had been the way they pretend to become someone.
    17- I am careful and much more i had been — Half of my things for you and for to do me the please.

    18- Own because i am MCCORMICK.
    18- option 2: Own why? i am MCCORMICK

    Can you see the home number 35?

    bye from Spain.

    1. Hola Jose,
      I have no idea where home number 35 might be. But I have seen your extended efforts on your blog http://prophecyexperimentalzone.blogspot.de/. Awesome! I have also seen that you joined http://rickymccormickcase.blogspot.de/. I really believe that if people from different corners of the world get together to solve a problem they will have better chances to be successful, even if their mode of working is rather parallel than collaboration. Did you already submit to the FBI?
      Kind regards

  4. Hello

    The FBI knows everything but I think they do not like my blog. I have sent my solution for all possible ways (even Facebook), and now .....

    .... it appears that the FBI and local police lied to the family of McCormick:

    Look:
    "Code Dead: Do the encrypted writings of Ricky McCormick hold the key to his mysterious death?"
    - By Christopher Tritto (published: June 14, 2012).

    http://www.riverfronttimes.com/content/printVersion/1609667/
    or:
    http://www.riverfronttimes.com/2012-06-14/news/ricky-mccormick-code-mysterious-death-st-louis/

    McCormick's mother, Frankie Sparks, says:
    "They told us the only thing in his pockets was the emergency - room ticket,"
    "Now, twelve years later, they come back with this chicken-scratch shit."


    -In the links I mentioned above can read the full story.

    -It seems that everyone thought that Ricky was a idiot and the family was misled or not informed of police/FBI investigations.

    -These guys from the FBI/police ...... trying to trick a sweet and helpless old lady.

    Bye from Spain,
