The Puzzling Murder of Ricky McCormick

This episode is about the puzzling murder of Ricky McCormick.

On the 30th of June 1999, police in St. Louis, Missouri discovered the body of 41-year-old Ricky McCormick dumped in a field.

The only clues regarding his murder were two encrypted notes found in his pants pockets.

Neither the FBI’s Cryptanalysis and Racketeering Records Unit (CRRU), or the American Cryptogram Association have been able to crack the code, and consequently, the meanings behind the notes remain unknown to this day.

Could these notes be the key to solving this cold case or are they simply gibberish?
