Don't Watch this:

either that or the Origami Killer isn't dead yet...

well done sir, whilst I was in reno we saw that commercial and did infact eat at that crappy diner wannabe known as Joes.Master Taffer said:
My guess? A one time pad cipher. Those aren't really hard to make unbreakable if you have been studying ciphers as much as the story would indicate. At which point you could better spend your time (and government money) to bounce a ball against a wall.
Twelve years of studying would have yielded the result of "this is random bullshit" if it truly was random bullshit.Dfskelleton said:
So far this is what I have (my apologies in advance if anyone has already posted this, but I'm too lazy to go through all of the 3468 comments posted thus far to verify):
On the page titled "NOTES", the first 2 lines:
ALPNTE GLSE - SE ERTE
VLSE MTSE - CTSE - WSE - FRTSE
This is an address and phone number for the Missouri Institute for Mental Health, which is located in St. Louis, MO where the man Ricky McCormick who was murdered on June 30 1999 is from, according to the FBI help request (I have yet to find any old articles that talk about the details of this murder btw)
Address & Phone confirmed with Yahoo Maps: 5400 - ARSENAL STREET - (314) 877-6400
----------------------------------------------------------------
The three lines underneath that address...so far I got from it "PO DEPUE" (if you take every letter within these 3 lines that proceed the letter "N":
PNRTRSE ONDRSE WLD NCBE
NWLD XLRCMSP NEWLD STS ME XL
DULMT6TUNSE NCBEXL
I Googled "podepue" and "missouri" and I got results for Susan Depue, Sr. Research Specialist at the Missouri Institute for Mental Health (Interesting huh?)
The other information so far that I am getting from this first "paragraph" circled, is that this individual is talking about the nurse in charge, or the "PO" administered; meaning Per Os (mental health jargon meaning medication taken by mouth), that was given to him was the wrong dosage (thus reference to XL), sort of like Effexor XL or Welbutrin, but the dosage was given incorrectly which caused him great troubles or something like that; probably a psychotic reaction or serious health problems from this "error" or possible intentional experimentation on him. This paragraph is basically starting out by explaining what happened to him as a mental health patient and the improper dosage given. That is all I have so far...the rest is slowly coming along...the first page that I haven't started on yet, well this is a sort of diary of events from him travelling and doing something I can't tell what just yet, but you get a lot of driving directions and coordinates to a location.
I'm going to bed now. Goodnight.
I hope this helps. Thanks for your time reading this. Take care. JCM0511

Given the spacing, it wouldn't surprise me if the code were based upon some other text- it could be encoded based upon a page of a book, for example, or even a letter the creator had written.
For example, you could make a very simple cypher based on "Timothy" like so:
T-I-M-O-T-H-Y
could translate to (letters become numerical place in alphabet)
20-9-13-15-20-8-25
and then if you were encoding "secrets"
S-E-C-R-E-T-S
which would be
19-5-3-18-5-20-19
and then added "timothy" to "secrets", "wrapping around" when something equaled 27 or more (27=1, 28=2, etc.) you would get
13-14-16-7-25-2-8
which translated back into letters gets you
M-N-P-G-Y-B-R.
In such a case, it could be very difficult indeed to decode the original message without knowing what text the thing was based on.

Ah, this is what I love about the internet, merely being told that something can't be done is reason enough to do it
Only 4 lines of paragraphs are without (). What could their meaning be?
Some letters are written in bold, as if to point them out especially. What for?
In the upper corner there's PI in a circle. Could this be a mathematical number but written in letters?
I MIGHT continue with this. But probably not...
EDIT; ... God damn it. My ego have gotten the better of my interest.
Second note have a peculiar sense to end with E's. And most lines are equipped with SE's. It obviously stands for something, but what?
And, it have more a lack of parentheses this time. Only two are pointed out in the second paragraph.

The only thing that stuck out was that the letters TFRNE is repeated twice - 2nd & 8th row.
G'night.
