Yeah, I think it is more phonetic shorthand than any kind of cypher. Unfortunately, it's a long shot that we'll be able to get any insight into it without knowing more about the victim's personal characteristics or habits.

I feel as if someone could talk to his family, this would be so much easier....I did notice how it sounds like his family was never intrigued by this kids home-made language, that he had since he was a kid....i dont think they would disregard this language unless they knew it had any discernable patterns, but once again we dont know his folks.

That's why I'm not too confident that there's anything to find here - the case went all the way to the FBI, so they certainly followed all the leads they had and talked to any witnesses and family members. And, not to be morbid, but the victim was 41 in 1999, so his parents are likely deceased by now.

are there any freeways around st louis that would go along with these numbers? If he is street smart, and the family said that in 1999....maybe is was homeless, but creative at getting what he needs.

I blew up the docs and printed em....kinda helps....im gonna search for info on this guy.

What if the S is actually a 5?

I had thought of that to many times it is written as if you can take it either way

71,74,75 are all interstates in/around Cincinnati

AHA!....i think he was going around and looking at cars on the sheet that says NOTES, that would explain the reccurences and the circling, he was keeping the vehicles separated.....he went to go see a car and got murdered by the owner?? oh yeah i live in SOCAL, so the freeway thing was a longshot....i also believe that this man has Aspergers and Dyslexia....but they balled up his symptoms as Aspergers. One word keeps calling to me .... PSESHLE....take the first three letters PSE change them to SPE and add SHLE SPESHLE....this guy had the basics, mixed with his own different thinking style.

Interstate 71, 74, and 75 are near Cincinnati.
