IN THIS EPISODE: We explore the unsolved murder of Ricky McCormick, and the mysterious pages of code found in the dead man’s pocket after his body was discovered in St. Charles County, Missouri, in 1999. The FBI’s top cryptanalysts have appealed to the public for help deciphering the enigmatic scribbles—and you may hold the key. Plus, I’ll share stories that originally aired in 2016 – the first few months Weird Darkness even existed! Why? Just for nostalgia!SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Cipher In The Corn” written by Stu Wahlin for Weird Darkness: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hstndhsIf you have info that could help solve the Ricky McCormick case, visit https://forms.fbi.gov/code; you can also write to: FBI Laboratory Cryptanalysis and Racketeering Records, Unit 2501 Investigation Parkway, Quantico VA 22135 - Attention: Ricky McCormick Case“The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe“Dead Sleep” was written by Annie Wilder (From the book “House of Spirits and Whispers”) “Phone Call From The Dead” was written by Luisa, donated by MyHauntedLifeToo.com “The House By The Cemetery” was written by M.J.
