I thought I would write the headline in advance, as I am sure we can solve this together lol

The FBI and Cryptanalysts have not been able to solve this...I think we can :)

This is what I have come up with so far - I have highlighted the repeated "phrases"

 

I think WLD means "Will Deliver" and NCBE is code for either some drug or money

Comic Nerdling 1A reporting for duty! I actually printed these out a few days ago and have been looking at them on the train. No progress so far...

 

I did note that the letters J, Q and Z are the only letters of the alphabet not present on either page. (shrug)

The first block is an introduction.

The second is a brag.

The third is where the body is located (where the murder took place).

The fourth is another brag with a personal trait.

The fifth is the killer's signature.

 

The whole next page is how he was mistreated by everyone and hated by all

and it is their fault this happened.

The spelling prowess suggests the killer is a board member. :grin:

 

 

.....and the pent up anger ?.....oh, wait, that's EVERY message board. GOD BLESS...

How many years did they work on cracking this? To me, it seems like you're just supposed to read every other letter. Did no one try this?

Yet another pressing thread! doh!

Oddly enough it does cypher "Pressing is restoration "when you use every other letter. hm

Is this a April fools joke?
