Christina? I hope you get this. I love you. We're going to find you, I promise. I hope you're okay. The pictures that you posted online? They're really helpful. So if you can think of anything else, anything else comes to mind. Nothing is too small. Your friends, the police, someone can identify this person to help us find you. And remember, I love you more than infinity.

Christina. I can't believe that this is really happening. I mean, I can't sleep. You probably haven't slept in days. I just want you to know that people care about you. And I-I am doing anything and everything I can to try and find you. I keep looking at the pictures that you posted. Over and over. I feel like there is a connection. You know, I really don't think that this could all just be random. But, either way, we're gonna find you.

Hey, it's me Jen! Jake sends his love. I can't believe the wedding is in two days. You need to get back here and safe.

July 28

I know you don't know me. A friend of mine led me to your site because she thought that I could relate to you. I've been through a lot. Too much dark stuff to talk about. But, I want you to know that I'm here for you. Okay, a lot of us are. And we will find you. Just, stay strong. And this is going to be over really soon. I promise.

Jennifer: Hey, it's me Jen! Jake sends his love. I can't believe the wedding is in two days. Emma: Christina. I keep looking at the pictures that you posted. Over and over. I am doing anything and everything I can to try and find you. Lucca: I know you don't know me. I've been through a lot. Too much dark stuff to talk about. But, I want you to know that I'm here for you. A lot of us are. Emma: You know, I really don't think that this could all just be random. We're gonna find you. Cathy: Christina? I hope you get this. I love you. We're going to find you, I promise. I hope you're okay. The pictures that you posted online? They're really helpful. Your friends, the police, someone can identify this person to help us find you. And remember, I love you more than infinity. Christina: Hello? Stu: Hello, Christina. Are you...? Christina: Yeah, yeah, I'm here. Who is this? Stu: I'm Federal Agent Stuart MacArthur. I've been assigned your case. Move away from the line of the security cameras if you can. Find a safe corner. Christina: Okay, okay. Okay. Stu: Listen, we think we know where you are. I need to you copy and past the IP address so we can verify your location. Do you know how to find the IP address of the computer you're on? Christina: Yes, I can do that. Stu: No, she's here. Perfect! Go! Christina, you're exactly where we thought you were. We're going to be there shortly. Just sit tight. Christina: Okay, okay. Hurry, please! Stu: Christina, I want you to watch this. SWAT: Go, go, go. Stu: Don't say a thing, just remain calm. They'll come to you. Okay, Christina. Stay back, keep your head down. Christina: Wait! Stu: Now, what's going on? Christina? SWAT: It's a mannequin. Stu: What's that in her hand? Pan down and show me what's in her hand! Christina, it's a router. It contains the IP address. Christina: It's obviously not where I am. Stu: I'm sorry. Wait, guys, hold it! Yeah, pull in. Christina, do you see that? Does that mean anything to you? SWAT: Says "Sorry Chief, only Christina can save herself." Stu: Do you know what it means? I need you... Christina: No. Mom! Hey! Hey, where did you get this? Where did you get this! If you hurt my family! Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CALL MY MOM AND MAKE SURE SHE'S OKAY. WILL EXPLAIN LATER. July 28 at 1:12pm

I just talked to your mom--she's fine. What happened??? July 28 at 1:12pm

Honey are you OK?!? I’m fine--don't worry about me. Just put it out of your mind now, it was a lead they had to try but there are many other leads they are following... July 28 at 1:14pm

Freaked because that music box is MINE and was up in my mom's attic.. HOW DID WHOEVER IS DOING THIS GET IT???!!! July 28 at 1:24pm

Honey are you OK?!? I’m fine--don't worry about me. Just put it out of your mind now, it was a lead they had to try but there are many other leads they are following... July 28 at 1:30pm

We're going to find out how that music box got out of this house. Police are already here and tearing apart the attic. July 28 at 1:31pm

Federal agents did not come through. They thought they had me located through my IP address but whoever has me trapped here was one step ahead. All they found was a mannequin with a postcard in its hand: “Sorry Chief, only Christina can save herself”. What does that mean!!?? If the Feds can’t find me who can?!! July 28 at 1:15pm

HOW DID THEY GET MY MUSIC BOX??!!! It's definitely mine. OMG. July 28 at 1:18pm

HOW... WHat happened. Re-Routed IP? So made us think I was somewhere else.. WTH... SCARED GUYS... WHAT AM I GOING TO DO... July 28 at 1:29pm

There's nothing in my music box, it's the same one I had as a kid. WHAT THE HELL!!! July 28 at 1:34pm

@Christina Perasso: Christina I’m so sorry... but you can’t lose hope. The Feds will not quit and neither will I. We’re going to find you. I promise. July 28 at 1:21pm

@Christina Perasso: Be strong Christina. the federal agents failed you but you can’t fail yourself. We are all behind you, we’re going to find you. I’ve been there, know that there’s always a way out. Just find the thing you believe in. July 28 at 1:22pm

Wedding Update: remember everybody, in addition to professional photographers every table at the reception will have disposable cameras so fire away! Thanks! July 28 at 1:15pm

@Christina Perasso: The federal agents came by again to look in the attic--the music box was in a box of your old toys up there. I don't think they've found anything yet. I think the box must have been taken a while ago. Maybe when I got the roof repaired? That's the last time I left for any length of time with strangers around the house--even though they were outside then. I guess it's possible that I left a window or the back door open--though that isn't like me. Still trying to figure it out but I'm OK. July 28 at 1:38pm

I think you need to get out of there mom... whoever is doing this knows where you live... knows about the music box... MOM WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US???!! July 28 at 1:39pm

GUYS... back been trying to make sure mom is OK... seems fine, freaked out but safe. Lots of cops at the house... NOW WHAT... IF THE FEDS can't figure this out... July 28 at 1:45pm

Trying not to lose hope @Alma, thanks, and thanks @Anjelika Soto, that means a lot to me.. July 28 at 1:46pm

@Christina Perasso: That postcard note is very strange. Makes it sound like there’s some kind of test you’re supposed to pass... July 28 at 1:47pm

I know Emma... it has to mean SOMETHING... July 28 at 1:48pm

Think. Think. Think. 'Chief'--I guess that's supposed to be in reference to the Feds but that seems to be the important word here. And Albuquerque? Is that where I am??? As far as I know, I've never been, don't know anyone there as far as I know. Going to do some research… July 28 at 1:50pm

And WHAT are these new sites... http://332811.com/???!! what do you guys make of those??!!! WHAT IS GOING ON July 28 at 1:54pm

Taunting the federal agents, but I think there’s no anger towards Christina in the card. July 28 at 1:55pm

OMG I did not see what happened to Chris when I posted that update!! Poor Christina. July 28 at 1:51pm

Here's my IP address--can't hurt to send it send it out now: 69.49.175.214 July 28 at 1:58pm

Using the IP address, we can get to http://69.49.175.214 and are treated to some security camera footage of Christina at the computer. It's not overly exciting unless you enjoy staring at the top of Christina's head for a few minutes. Then it's utterly thrilling. Towards the end, you'll notice her look up at the camera, grab the laptop and go over to the bed which would seem to indicate that this was taken right before the FBI found the room in Albuquerque.

IT JUST WON'T STOP... SO CREEPY. I put the IP address into my browser. I know this isn't a live feed or anything but I'm so freaked out. I think my stomach is in my throat. The Federal agents thought I was somewhere in Albuquerque--and I guess I may be but WHAT THE HELL!!! July 28 at 1:58pm

@Christina Perasso: How did they get that music box? What does it mean? I remember it from when we were kids... July 28 at 2:08pm

I don't know Emma... I don't know... so personal... so disturbing.. scared July 28 at 2:09pm

Stay strong Chris - and don't worry about your mom, there are tons of police over there now, she's fine. July 28 at 2:10pm

Feeling... down right now.. I thought this was going to be over. I was sure those agents were going to come right through that door, wrap me in a blanket and whisk me back to Seattle. Oh guys what am I going to do... July 28 at 2:13pm

Thanks guys, trying to stay positive.. need to come up with a plan... July 28 at 2:18pm

@Christina Perasso: Stay strong Chris! Thinking of you! Need you here! Don't worry everything will be ok, I just know it!!! July 28 at 2:54pm

Hey everyone, I know you're probably following what's been happening, but for those who don't know, today the police made a move, we thought Christina was going to be freed... but whoever is doing this was one step ahead. We have to work harder to figure this out. No easy answers... July 28 at 2:57pm

Connection back... Ok have to regroup here. Try to be objective. So the ISP said I was in Albuquerque, but they didn't find me. What do you guys think, am I in New Mexico? or is it just a trick to get us off track?? July 28 at 3:19pm

Yeah, I mean the sunset and sunrise lined up with LA, but someone made a map that showed all the places that could have the same rising and setting times... July 28 at 3:21pm

Yeah it's super super hot in here... heat is blasting... July 28 at 3:22pm

most of you guys think it's a trick... I think so too... July 28 at 3:24pm

Internet cut out AGAIN. We need to FOCUS. This whole wild goose chase today... are we learning anything from it???!! There's the IP address, the postcard, what else??!! Trying to calm down and think logically about all of this... July 28 at 3:51pm

The postcard has to have clue in it, I know it!! July 28 at 3:59pm

What about those bizarre websites that people found last night? http://332811.com/ ?? Is that just part of the wild goose chase or something more??! July 28 at 4:01pm

Looked at all of the sites... I mean all it seems to point to is that weird symbol... which someone said is the New Mexico flag... which ties into the Albuquerque IPS location... what about the 404 thing, what does that text mean??! July 28 at 4:05pm

Hello everyone, there are so many messages here I just want to try to address some of your concerns and thoughts – I have met Kirk and he seemed to me like a very nice boy, I would hate to think he had anything to do with this... July 28 at 4:17pm

And as far as Christina's Dad...he was.. is a good man, things didn't work out with us and he moved on many many years ago. I wish him well. And I'm sure he has nothing to do with this either... and thank you everyone !! I know we're going to get her out of there!! July 28 at 4:18pm

@Christina Perasso: Christina where are you at? Is everything ok? You haven't been on in a while... July 28 at 5:03pm

@Christina Perasso: Honey - where are you?!!?? Getting worried... please make contact as soon as you can!! July 28 at 5:19pm

FINALLY BACK. Seemed like the longest downtime yet. Seems like offline times are getting longer and longer. Are we getting close to something and whoever is doing this wants to keep us from talking, from figuring it out??!! I fell asleep in chair for a little while. When I woke up, PBJ and tiny cup of water were waiting for me at the slot by the door... July 28 at 7:26pm

Oh honey!!! Thank God you're back!! Had us so worried... July 28 at 7:28pm

Christina, are you ok? Really had us worrying... yes, it does seem like you're offline for longer and longer periods... July 28 at 7:29pm

Thanks everybody.. everything is fine, I mean considering July 28 at 7:32pm

@Adam Fero - yes it's super hot in here, like someone jacked the heat up... @Sandyra O'Meara - too hungry... need to eat... @Trevor Miller - seems like it's sunny outside... July 28 at 7:34pm

The music box is just the one I had as a child, there are no secret compartments, no nothing. I think the point of it was to freak me out. And it worked. July 28 at 7:44pm

Yes my father gave me the music box when I was a little girl, always loved it July 28 at 7:50pm

Ugh guys... today has been hard... disappointing... I couldn't talk about it before, but the police kept assuring me that something was going to go down and they were going to save me. That kept me pretty calm, knowing they were on their way. But now that they've failed... July 28 at 7:55pm

Wedding Update!!! Ushers remember – red handkerchief in breast pocket. Thanks! July 28 at 9:57pm

@Christina Perasso: How are doing Christina?? Stay positive doll, I know this police mess up has you down but I know they have dealt with this kind of thing before and you're going to be out of there in no time. Work on your speech for the reception while you have the time - you're going to need it!! XXOO July 28 at 9:59pm

Internet came back on. So hard not having you guys there - really been important to hear a kind word, or an idea to get me out of here from you guys and when I can't have it... makes a nightmarish situation even harder... July 28 at 10:58pm

@Fireicer Petrol Cooper - no idea about Albaq, I have no connection to the place! @Holly Marie Hurston - I've searched this thing top to bottom, all my folders, browser history, everything, nothing seems different. @Cody Micheal Pulak - thanks so much Cody, means a lot July 28 at 11:06pm

@Sergio Orama - no thank god, nothing weird on my body... @Yanelis Tapia - thank you thats nice.. @Spencer Delgado - not going to break my music box, it's the same old box from when I was a kid July 28 at 11:21pm

OK, I need to buck up. Today was a heartbreaking disappointment... I was so sure the police were going to come through that door... but they didn't. Now it's time for me - for us – to try to figure this thing out. July 28 at 11:19pm

YES OK I'M NOT PERFECT. I said 2 days when the wedding is actually 5 days away, and I can put my foot in my mouth sometimes!!!! I'm under A LOT OF PRESSURE and my dear Christina being kidnapped is the worst of all!!! CUT ME SOME SLACK July 28 at 11:40pm

Not long after the last post by Christina, someone figured out the next answer for the 332811/118233 pages. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that the page got updated with with a new picture (levels adjusted below).

And just to keep us on our toes, all the players on Facebook are now linking to 118233. Which is a tad unfortunate for me as 118233 is blocked by certain web filters for being a "Placeholder" page - yet 332811 is listed as "Entertainment" and thus is viewable. Go figure.

Anyway, the next page to visit is /chief. It comes from the updated image and the postcard that was left on the mannequin that the Feds found in Albuquerque. I am curious as to if 'chief' was always the answer and no one guessed it so they gave us a direct hint instead of waiting. But it just seems really odd that no one would have tried it since it was right on the postcard (and I swear I tried it). Update: I had tried it! And it definitely came up as a 404 page. So either they messed up and never uploaded the file or the original solution was turning out to be too hard for us to crack. The way they keep screwing up simple things with this game, I'm more inclined to believe the former.

Have a good trip? New Mexico is beautiful this time of year Not as smart as you think Are you? Where to next, Chief? Let's see how clever y'all are. Translate wisdom, And move beyond. Or lie in darkness, Inside ignorance. Remember: I know what you're thinking /whichfedlookslikeafool ?

Stu MacArthur is the name of the FBI agent who was talking to Christina at the time of the raid. You can see his name in the Day 4 video on an email at 2:05 and when he calls Christina on Skype at 2:15. Unfortunately, /stumacarthur doesn't work because apparently the kidnapper doesn't know how to fucking spell. The "correct" answer is /stumcarthur

9-13-1-7-9-14-5 1 23-15-18-12-4 15-6 15-14-5-19 23-8-5-18-5 20-8-5-18-5 9-19 15-14-12-25 4-1-25 15-18 5-14-4-12-5-19-19 14-9-7-8-20 23-8-5-18-5 4-15-15-18-19 1-18-5 5-9-20-8-5-18 15-16-5-14-5-4 15-18 6-15-18-5-22-5-18 3-12-15-19-5-4 /23-8-5-18-5 23-5-18-5 5-25-5-19 12-1-19-20 12-1-9-4 15-14 8-5-18? Imagine a world of ones Where there is only day Or endless night Where doors are either opened Or forever closed /Where were eyes last laid on her?

I must say this kidnapper knows how the hell to get on my nerves. First a typo in the previous answer and now the entire riddle is spelled out in alpha-numeric code. What's next? ROT-13? Anyway, Christina was last seen at Java Bird Coffee & Tea so the next stop is /javabird

Gsrh dliow drgslfg xslrxv, Drgslfg vhxzkv. Dsviv vmwovhh ilzwh Ovzw mldsviv. Qlfimvbh drgslfg wvhgrmzgrlmh Kzhg gsv hznv yzggvivw nrov nzipvih. /dszg mfnyvi uli z kofnyvi? This world without choice, Without escape. Where endless roads Lead nowhere. Journeys without destinations Past the same battered mile markers. /what number for a plumber?

Kill me. Kill me now. Okay, so it wasn't ROT-13, but it was Atbash so that's almost just as bad. It's like the kidnapper has decided "Well, I have a brunette that needs help. I have a creepy website. What am I missing? Oh yes! Ciphers and codes that a 5 year old could solve!" The only thing left now is for there to be a countdown where we find out if Christina will live or die.

Moving on from the Atbash, the phone number for Janriski Bros. Plumbing is 424-235-1782 which leads us to /4242351782

Fklogkrrg nhhsvdnhv Qhyhu vxuuhqghuhg. Fkloglvk ehkdylru Lqgxojhg zlwkrxw d fduh. Lv wklv wkh zruog brx zlvk wr fuhdwh?

Is this the world you wish to create? Is this the life you would have us lead? /what does one demand for a nightstand?

I stand corrected. It was not ROT-13. It was ROT-23 and I missed it by one puzzle. I hang my head in shame to think that this game would ever be predictable. The receipt that Christina found for the nightstand showed that it cost $26.96 after tax so our next stop on this awesome puzzle trail of awesomeness is /2696.

F pqyl khb nlihe vt F kmwezm bue xuablrmm V wfet cibkkr tex lnrhgmfs Qxiph qam uoowmf Akw bnkb ppnt fl uvnb. /Mpr pohbbcle buaq eqrd qburs qum iaiomf tetb yav ytnt? I will not allow it I reject the absolute I will pierce the darkness Teach the hordes And take what is mine. /The protocol that lied times the valves that lay flat?

Ah, Vigenère, my old friend. How I've missed you. I would have missed you more if I didn't have to type out all these ciphers by hand. Seriously, even dedicated puzzle trail websites will give you plain text to copy and paste. At least I didn't have to spend my time guessing what the keyword was ( xtina ) thanks to the fine people at Oregon State. Go Beavers!

The "protocol that lied" is the IP address that led the FBI on a wild goose chase: 69.49.175.214. The "valves that lay flat" comes from the number of horizontal valves in the picture that Christina took of the pipes: 2. So the next answer is /13898350428.

This brings us to a map of the US that tells us that Christina is not in Seattle or Albuquerque. In the lower left corner of the image, the kidnapper has left us another message: "Does the truth lie in WHERE or WHEN?" (The image has had its levels adjusted so that you can see the text better.)

So that's pretty much where we are until someone can figure out if there is a next answer in this puzzle trail.

@Christina Perasso: I'm watching these codes being broken and just amazed at what incredible people are helping out and working hard for you, Chistina. I feel like you're so close to me when I see this deep concern. There are some very, very smart people working here and this code is so close to being broken. I hope you are sleeping and getting a little peace after a difficult, difficult day. I love you, my little ballerina. July 29 at 2:36am

@Christina Perasso: AMAZING! BRAVO! July 29 at 2:51am

@Christina Perasso: Wow--just WOW! What an incredible way to work together! At least we know where she is NOT now. An incredible break! July 29 at 2:54am

I've been watching the posts on Christina's page, trying decipher the codes but everyone is so fast when they work together that I was of no real help. I am amazed and how quickly a problem is solved when so many come together, when so many care. July 29 at 2:57am
