Summary

Ricky McCormick's lifeless body was found in a remote area of Missouri in 1999. On his body were two encrypted notes containing seemingly random combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols. Despite persistent efforts from both amateur and professional code-breakers, the true meaning of these cryptic messages remains elusive. Designated as a homicide by the FBI, the case took an unusual turn in 2011 when the bureau sought public assistance in decrypting the mysterious notes. The unresolved circumstances surrounding Ricky McCormick's death are compounded by the enigma presented by these coded messages, contributing to the ongoing fascination and complexity of the investigation. ----------------- Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.
