Hey folks! We wanted to take a moment to share why we made our latest investigation.

Our newest video takes a closer look at the case of Todd Oland, a YouTuber who was accused of freezing a kitten for money. After spending a great deal of time researching the available information, we came away believing there is evidence that deserves far more attention and may support his innocence.

Our goal with this investigation was to help amplify information that never seemed to receive the same attention as the original accusation. While millions of people heard the claims against Todd, far fewer ever had the opportunity to see the evidence that points in a very different direction. We wanted to help change that by presenting the available evidence in one place and encouraging people to examine it for themselves.

Please remember that this video is not a call to target, harass, or threaten anyone mentioned in the case. We encourage respectful discussion and ask everyone to keep the conversation focused on the evidence.

One of the most encouraging parts of making this video was seeing the original person who accused Todd become open to an alternative explanation after taking a closer look at the available evidence. Moments like that remind us why these investigations matter.

We hope this investigation encourages more people to approach stories like this with an open mind and focus on the facts. If it helps even a few more people reconsider Todd’s case and contributes, even in a small way, to clearing his name, then we’ve accomplished what we set out to do.

If you haven’t seen the investigation yet, we’d really appreciate you giving it a watch. And if, after reviewing the evidence for yourself, you believe this story deserves to reach more people, we’d be grateful if you shared it to help spread the information surrounding Todd’s innocence. ❤️

REST IN PEACE OAKEY ALBERT “AL” KITE!

Ove the past month I've found seven different Instagram accounts that post hundreds or thousands of videos, and they all look like they're in the same building. They seem like webcam footage or something like that, and sometimes people are in the videos but they obviously don't know they're being recorded. Part of me is curious to find out more, but I want to know what can be done about it. I feel like it has to be illegal to post this stuff without permission, but I don't know what company or place these videos are from or what country it's in. So I came here to ask for help on what to do or for more info.

Here's the accounts that I've found, but there's probably more:

ceshi9902

llei552

yili9771

xhtest1999

tatararanvu

wangwang8860

zhe61681

Like obviously these are automated accounts, they follow a few random accounts and post constantly, but why do they exist? Is it some malware posting this or what, I genuinely have no idea and want to know what can be done.

Jonathon Luna was killed by my house when I was a child, body found a 15 min walk away from my back door. He was an Assistant United States Attorney in Baltimore and the police initially told everyone he killed himself via 36 stab wounds. It’s been 23 years and no one seems to care or be interested in his bizarre death, or why he was mysteriously found 2 hours from Baltimore dead.

I came for the coffee lovers, stayed for the Amazing story telling. Man finds money glitch and makes 40k per day was my first Brew experience, what was yours?

Our new video is out!

I am not sure if this is a case we could work on in this subreddit, but recently I learned about the sad story of Kong Fu Guy. I feel it definitely needs looked into more as it seems that the police were possible bribed or were students of bobby so he was not tried

LINKS: First link full video apologies for no audio but with digging it is out there (18+ due to violence and gore) https://www.reddit.com/r/Chiraqology/s/2KN3xQS9QL

Now we can figure out who ruined the reflecting pool

About the Ricky McCormick Case (1999, Missouri) and the undeciphered code

I know of the case from KallMeKris's Crime podcast. It had immediately caught my attention because I've been a cryptanalysis geek since I first got my hands on Journal 3 from Gravity Falls as a child.

This is the original code found in the victim's pocket

There were many theories suggested by many people, and debate over whether Ricky could've wrote this himself (he was dyslecsic) but that's not what I want to talk about.

I want to talk about the code itself, because apparently, it's still unsolved to this day.

The paper reads:

"*" = I can't tell what that is

It's baffling. And what most people focused on here, including me, was the fact that almost all words end with "SE". The most common 2 letter ending of words is "-ed" so, we could try that, but then you replace "S" with "E" and "E" with "D" in every part of this cipher some words mean nothing.

It ain't that easy or someone would've solved this already.

Then there are some repeats, let me show you:

https://preview.redd.it/0uhgcqahrqdh1.png?width=1546&format=png&auto=webp&s=e94943539d4dfede88aa1ccec8a92fa6da529395

I even stopped listing them at one point because there are so many so I just colour coded them but I ran out of colours.

The first thing I noticed was that you could see "SE" used seperately, as in, one word, or some at the end of a word. Which made me think it might be "ON". It is a common way of finishing a word, (-tion, -sion, etc.) but then I tried to place it in all the spots we see "SE", there were so many instances of 4 letter words ending with "SE" and only a handful of 4-letter common words that end with "ON".

Webster's dictionary was a huge help.

I tried some others like "AN", also a common way to finish a word, but that didn't quite work out either, so I had to come up with a new idea.

That's when I came up with what I will call The Lego Theory. I think all of these words are made up of smaller pieces that act like legos, and before you say, that's how most languages work, dummy, let me explain.

In this theory (which I will explain with a duplicate I made at the end) not al "SE"s here mean the same thing. All the singular "SE" appearing seperately on their own are the same but the "SE" in "RTSE" is different from the "SE" in "PRSE". Think of "RT", "PR", and "SE" as legos. the "SE"s in those two words are the same shape but different colours, and all these three are different shapes to begin with.

"PRSE" always means one thing, maybe "LION" for example, which ends with "ON" and "RTSE" always means one thing but it might be "MEAN", which ends with "AN". That would explain why it doesn't work out when you assign just 1 meaning to "SE"

Now let me show you my duplicate: It is the last text message a close friend sent me before he ended our friendship.

KOLMH ZEN JED ABQTN ZSOGTCDN. KOLMH ZEN GEK PERILE TIF QWERT HAAD PHM SMDEG GTCDN, KOL SIRG GTINK DD NYOULAZEN OJ DR CLOOR OJCAUOR KOL KXZEN ONUR FTNGH OJHAVIDNRT. GTEOR DFIOGUKT LIK ZEN SDNSGTCDN QUEN KOL WRK TIWEN. KOL GTINK IEWOULA OJ BEYYDI SV DD KXZEN OJ CDK IHTYNT.

This is ciphered, and this is the actual text:

I'm not mad about anything. I'm not a person who holds hate for small things, I just think we shouldn't be so close because I don't like gauge behaviours. These dynamics are not something that I can stand. I think It'd be better if we don't be too sincere. (might sound odd to you, so lemme say he's not native in English)

Now, not all the letters are subsitituted with one other letter here. Fow example, "KOL" here means "EYE" and it also means "I". Because I said so.

GEK =ASS =A, MH =AM, DD =WE, OJ =BE, JED =MAD, WRK =CAN... etc.

See where I'm going with this? No one would ever be able to read this code unless I gave them the key, or they spent countless years trying out every single possibility to make this make sense, which currently is not possible even with AI, though I suppose in the future it most likely will be.

So, if the code that was found on Ricky's person was also created this way, it would explain why nobody could decipher it with the regular techniques you'd use for letter substitution ciphers, because not all the letters mean the same thing.

But somebody living in 1999 couldn't have memorized this much detail, considering how long Ricky's message is. So they most likely had a notebook where it was all detailed.

Or, less likely but still possible, they could've had it on a hard drive on a computer. I say less likely because floppy disks at the time were like... 1,44 MBs or something? If the message on Ricky weren't the only one and someone was trying to hide information with this way of deciphering, they would need a much bigger vocabulary, one that might not fit into a floppy, and those were hard to carry around.

In conclusion, the authorities cannot solve this coded message unless that find that notebook/digital glossary.

We needed this. Let this become a success. Thank you Brew🙏🏽. This reminds me of Websleuths.

This is so exciting that he now as a subreddit dedicated to true crime or stories we'd like for him and his team to talk about
