Calling all code crackers: The FBI needs your help.
On June 30, 1999, officers in St. Louis found the body of 41-year-old Ricky McCormick, who had been murdered and dumped in a field. The lone clues regarding the homicide were two encrypted notes found in McCormick's pants.
Now, investigators from the FBI’s Cryptanalysis and Racketeering Records Unit (CRRU) and the American Cryptogram Association are seeking the public’s help in breaking the encrypted code found in the notes on the body of the murdered Missouri man.
"We are really good at what we do," CRRU chief Dan Olson said in a statement. “But we could use some help with this one."

If you just do a search or look at the firehose you would see them.

We'll need some kind of moneys for retainer fees for all the lawyers we'll need when the FBI shows up in 5 years to arrest us for treason, only to take us to some fluffing bunker to decode some windtalked jibber-jabber and then set us loose with a cantene and a dream in the middle of the desert. If we aren't going to be paid, then no...I'm practically poor. And I hate the heat.

they are withholding the 2nd part
from the public.
