The FBI asks for help solving a riddle


could call Dan Brown or Robert Langdon, the protagonist of his novel The Da Vinci Code. To the best cinematic style, reveals an unsolved crime to FBI experts. is that 12 years ago fail to decipher a secret code found two notes written next to a corpse.

Ricky McCormick's body was found in Missouri in June 1999. He had been killed from a blow to the head. There were many more tracks, except po r two coded messages scribbled on scraps of paper that lay crumpled in the pocket waiting for someone to understand.

Twelve years later, FBI experts gave up. Decoding Unit seems to have exhausted their resources and decided to seek help from ordinary people to break the code. Amateur

always to the codes, Ricky McCormick wrote two pages of letters, numbers and symbols, and put them in his pocket. His body was found in a cornfield in the summer of 1999, still on these two pages.

ALPONTE GLSE - SE Erte, said one of the lines of the message . Is it a coded call for help? Can data from a possible murderer? Or just a reminder of some task ahead?

who are encouraged to work on "McCormick Code," which has puzzled cryptologists government for over a decade, it has more to join the FBI web and off the two notes that are there published and perhaps solve a crime that it's still perfect.

Dan Olson, director of the Laboratory of Cryptanalysis and records of illegal association, said the papers found in the body of McCormick, 41, could be the key to decipher why he was killed.

However, none of his cryptologists has been able to crack the code created by McCormick, who dropped out in high school, even after seven years of work.

why the FBI appealed to the public for help, hoping that someone will recognize the code used by McCormick in the two papers carried the http://1.usa.gov/evCb2i agency.

Police said McCormick experimented with codes and numbers for much of his life. "We asked the family and said he did very often,''said Lt. Craig McGuire, Office of Police of St. Charles County. But" nobody really knows what it means . It is like a personal diary.'' For

authorities would be helpful if someone had a sample of the system "McCormick Code." All they know is that the notes were written two or three days before his death. "Even if we discover that he was writing a shopping list or a love letter, still want to know how it works and l code," Olson admitted. "This is an encryption system that sabem you anything."

While the FBI no longer has techniques of analysis to go to, Olson says it is very likely that "the answer will come from a source not cryptology", in amateurs they are told.

"Discovering the code would reveal the whereabouts of the victim before his death and could lead to solving a murder," they say from the FBI not to lose hope that the notes contain cryptic information about their partners, their business or where McCormick could have spent the last hours of his life.

Since the FBI made its request for help has received over a thousand responses, so that opened a site to unify them, but so far none has yielded results.

The FBI says it "has always relied on the ends and public assistance to solve crimes, and even crack a code can represent a special circumstance, your help could help the investigation. There is no reward ... just a challenge and the satisfaction of knowing that their intellectual capacity can help bring a murderer to justice. "
