Hi everyone, my name is carmen and I have long been fascinated with this case. I have alot of very specific questions that I have collected over the years and am hoping to get some answers on this board (in the appropriate thread of course). Looking forward to talking with some other mystery nerds like myself. Thanks everyone!I hope I can someday offer my own minute discoveries on this case. Cheers.

lol, i actually came by that moniker honestly- I have driven vans for years and I always loved Scooby Doo, and mysteries- i had a wee mystery club in 4th grade- we all carried baby powder and scotch tape to lift fingerprints. :D Friends of mine started calling my van "the Mystery Machine" and then I became a VJ, doing live visual improv, and I needed a name for myself. A friend said, "THE MYSTERY MACHINE" which is fitting since so many people have no idea what I mean when I say "live visual improv" ; ).


Anyway, I am a total nerd. Thanks for the welcome. :mrgreen:

Hahaha. What was it that shocked you smithy? SCOTCH TAPE I suspect (good catch btw) or is there a repressed memory involving baby powder that we don't want to dig into? :lol:

I tend to drive at night a lot. I was imagining how I would explain it to an interested officer of the law if pulled over..... :lol:

Good thinking Batman or Red Phantom or A Citizen or .... weird squiggle (might ask morf if we can change your name to the last one lol).

Soooooooo can we assume that your cipher contributions over the years weren't strictly an attempt to solve the 340 but rather to remember how you'd created it? Presumably as a result of being really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,........

really old. :P (insert run away emoticon)
