Thanks for posting a new article, funny was thinking about Ricky just the other day and meant to bump his thread, glad you did!
I’m thinking along these lines as well. Perhaps it’s really code by terrorist organization or organized crime, but FBI doesn’t want that information revealed. Safer to tie it to RMs murder. MO speculation.I have even considered the possibility the it has nothing or very little to do with the RM case. Perhaps they didn't want to tell the public the truth (terrorism, bioterrorism, etc.) and so they have tied it to the RM case because the notes were found around the same time, in the same area, and RM was known to write codes when he was younger. Maybe the whole RM thing is a red herring and the FBI just doesn't want to tell the public the truth until they know for sure what is in the notes. As to why they asked the public for help, who knows. Maybe if you can crack the code, it means you are involved. Maybe there are other code sheets we don't know about that they have already solved so they have an idea what it's about but the key is different for these and they can't crack it for whatever reason.
Then there is always the possibility that RM did write the code or that it's not a code at all and RM was just plain looney tunes. :banghead:
A terrorist connection, had not thought of that, hmmmm interesting!I’m thinking along these lines as well. Perhaps it’s really code by terrorist organization or organized crime, but FBI doesn’t want that information revealed. Safer to tie it to RMs murder. MO speculation.
Welcome to Ws J_money, thanks for chiming in with your theory, looking forward to more of your posts!Hi all I’m new to web sleuths. I joined specifically after finding web sleuths while looking into this case. I am from the St. Louis area and I remember hearing about it when he was found. At the time it was only about 15 minutes from my house but ran across the Ricky McCormick case again recently while watching That Chapter on YouTube. Mike did an episode specifically on the code. I believe I may have figured out what it is. Now keeping in mind Ricky was illiterate and dyslexic and as I started going over the code little things started to jump out at me. I’m fairly certain that the code is Rickys own personal style of short hand for bus stops. As in street intersections and bus numbers. One of the big ones that has been mentioned before is NCBE which is repeated over an over. I have come to believe that stands for (North City Bus Exchange) FLR=Florissant PRSEOND=Penrose WLD=Euclid NE=North East . With the numbers the precede each NCBE like 74,71,75 being the actual bus number. There are others I also believe I have figured out as well. Now I need to sit down with a print out of it and write what I believe to be the translations out. I just haven’t found time yet, but I thought I’d share my finding with you guys in the mean time.
Morpheme deletion is a pretty common aspect of AAED, in my experience. "Her mom's house" becomes "her mom house," for example. If Ricky did this inconsistently, it would fit the situation you've described.What could possibly make one word possessive over the other when they have both been used together in the same order before?
Welcome to Ws HarveyPravia!Hello all, I have just began my personal investigation into the case of Ricky McCormick. I first learned about his case soon after his notes were released to the public and have now just become fascinated with his case. After reading a few theories and understanding the full story of Ricky McCormick, I believe I had decoded part of the first sentence of the first paragraph in the first note. “The 13k (assuming it’s money) has been moved to ASMC.” I feel extremely confident in this first one because of the speculations of Ricky being involved in drug trafficking. The second sentence is something I feel… like I forced. “The hundred in paper bills is en route and will be in your presence.” I don’t have much confidence in the second one as I did in the first one. I believe the gang that Ricky was involved with had code that only they could understand and decipher. Anyway… I will be investing more time into this and might update soon. I’m not sure if this has been thought of since I didn’t read much of this topic on this website.
