Mystery Figure - latest gossip

The Mystery Figure lurking at the top of the agathachristie.com homepage has finally made their move and murdered a member of the community. Police are powerless to stop the killer from striking again, until somebody can identify them.

Stay tuned to agathachristie.com over the coming weeks and see if your little grey cells can make sense of proceedings. In the meantime discuss who you think it is with other members of the community below - though get too close to the truth and you might wind up MURDERED!   

Second clue

Moderator2 17 May 10 at 9:52 a.m. GMT

Oh the irony, had agatha_911 only had time to dial for help before the Mystery Figure pounced!

So that's agatha_911, Rosie888 and beatriz91 - have you a clue what this pattern could mean? It's time to find that second clue! Only then will the identity of the Mystery Figure become that little bit clearer and the terrorised community can finally put a full stop to this rampage.

1890 was the year of AC birth.If my thoughts above are right and 1890 means sth, then it could be related to AC. That also explains the name agatha. But the others???

christie_greece-avatar
christie_greece 17 Jun 10 at 10:05 a.m. GMT

I wonder if there is a connection between the names. I mean that agatha and rosie were existing persons. What about beatriz??? That doesn't make sense.

And what about the numbers????911 is the number for help. 888 may mean 24 or 3 or I don't know what else.91 could be 10. All together may be 1890, which could be a year. Or it could mean 45, perhaps a number used in a username. If we think that 1890-45=1845, what would 1845 possibly mean???Or it could be 1890+45=1935. But what is this???

These are just simple thoughts. They may mean something but..

I don't know.

I have doubled checked the "birth" on the timeline and it's not there. I have slowly moved my mouse on it, I've clicked on it, only information comes up and the exact date she was born on. And that's it?

InspectorGrant-avatar
InspectorGrant 01 Jun 10 at 8:27 p.m. GMT

Marcia, remember Agatha Christie's YEAR OF BIRTH..

When you are browsing through the site, perhaps in THE TIMELINE, for example, looking for that elusive link, try hovering your mouse over something - as an hypothesis, we'll say something in THE TIMELINE which relates to Mrs. Christie and is of  a personal nature (many women lie about this particular thing) ..... then look down into the bottom left hand side of your browser for the name of the link (remember, this is hypothetical, a mere guide only) - and you might see the name of the link there.  Make a written note of it, absolutely verbatim.  Then type it into the top of your browser and do a manual search for it. 

And then see what happens ......... hypothetically, of course!

Good luck!!!

hmm it strikes me the phrase that says 'had only time to dial for help' as you had said as i remember .... something with a phone number 911 is the police station number i guess so.... im sure their numbers has something to do also with the 2nd clue including their names of course.... but again thanks miss Quin for the help that your trying to give me;);) i will continue searching..... hope to find it this time;);)

Ah, but I fear I've given rather too many hints!

A sharp eye, a sharp mind, and a white pointing hand. That's all one needs.

And if the white pointing hand doesn't open the link, there is always the option of looking at the name of the link in the bottom left hand side of your browser, and typing the link into the search bar manually.  That's what I have been doing because the link has never worked for me.........

Lol, there you have it, InspectorGrant has pretty much said exactly what to do.  I hope though a moderator does come on here and tell us if we are giving too much away??? Just to add a bit more help, remember to look for something that maybe different then something else...

agatha completed her first story in 1917 ! look 1+9+1+7 = 18= 1+8=9 i am sure that this number is very important . oh and anotehr if this number is playing some role i want to say another my idea . agatha's first novel when was completed , no one wished to publish it. it was turned down by 6 publishers . maybe this 6 playing some role too because if we will overturn this number 6  it becomes the number 9 ! ! !

I am starting to wonder if we are giving too many hints, however I guess we will see who gets "murdered" next.  Remember, look for a link between ALL THREE clues and the death announcement.....and trust your instincts, and look very closely.

This has already been posted once, and I found it extremely helpful:

        Agatha_911

        Rosie888

        beatriz91

Add all the numbers together:   ie 911 +

                                                 888 +

                                                   91

                                        =      1890

1890 is Agatha Christie's year of birth.

Thanks everyone, the details posted helped. Of course, I found it in a place I'd already mentioned, but didn't notice!

you found it finally  i still can't find it .... i think it has something to do with dial phones/books as you had said... but i cant imagine which of her books might be.... i will keep searching....

sad cypress, five little pigs, third girl, three act tragedy, curtain, a daughter's a daughter, and then there were none, murder of the vicarge, the mirror cracked from side to side, death comes at the end, three blind mice, The Man who was Number 16. These are the books that were mentioned to possibly have a connection with thesecond clue in the last 12 pages. I just put them into a list and copied and pasted so the grammar's wrong. I just hope that it is one of these books.

For those of you who haven't found the clue yet, read the last couple of pages on this post. I tried the same location about eight times before I actually saw the clue.

Good Luck!

A daughter's a daughter? Rosalind was Agatha Christie's daughter so that would fit in. But then I dont know what Beatriz 91 would mean in it or is it just because I haven't read that book?

Wow, I am very impressed to see young people here, I hope that all future generations get the opportunity to read some of Agatha's work.

Now, for those who still haven't found it.  Here is what worked for me;

-reread the death announcement carefully

-trust your instincts (and other peoples ideas) and look very carefully in the place you think it might be.  Don't disregard anything.  My problem was that I noticed something however kept dismissing it because I thought "No way the clue would be there."  Sure enough it was.

Best of luck all.

And do take notice especially of the words in the death announcement written IN ITALICS .....

Also, the answer is on this forum and has been for some time.  It is not really as complicated as you think - once you pick up the clue discussed in the forum, head to the obvious place to test it out, just as Agathasmykid has suggested.

I too am impressed at the number of young people here.  Good luck!

Just repeat what you did earlier, atu gelovanii - nothing will happen except that you will be taken to the red box which contains the information about Clue Number 2.  You don't have to open it - it should already be opened with the announcement there for you.

Or dial/phones stories with phones.

In the interests of self-preservation, I will not say whether or not I have found the clue.  I will say this: anyone who is looking for the second clue ought to read this entire thread thoroughly.  Many of our observations and theories may prove helpful, and the website must be scrutinized carefully,  I am NOT providing any spoilers or violating any rules if I simply list all the clues that have officially been provided:

1) The names of the victims. (agatha_911, Rosie888 and beatriz91 )

2) The announcement of the second group of deaths. (http://www.agathachristie.com/mystery-figure/Not-another-one/)

These are all of the officially provided clues. When studied, they produce directions as to the location on the website where one should look for the second clue, and the trigger to gain access to the second clue.

I wish I could say more but am afraid of being murdered.  Good luck everybody...

student_dylan 23 May 10 at 11:40 a.m. GMT

I would just say, by way of support and cheering from the sidelines (and definitely not trying to spoil things and get murdered myself in the process!) that the solution to these 3 murders is trickier than the solution to the first lot of murders and also as simple.

But I definitely agree with jenpix  in that you also have to look more carefully than last time. And definitely do your own detective work - you might read  in the forum that someone has searched in such and such a place for the second clue and 'didn't find it' or  'it wasn't there', but you really need to visit all potential crime scenes and get down in the flower-beds with your own magnifying glass to search for footprints/ cigar-ends/ticket stubs yourself!

So good luck, keep hunting (i said magnifying glass not sunglasses...)

I have therefore come to the following conclusions about the second clue.

1)The link that leads to the second clue is different from the link that leads to the first clue.  I believe that the link must take an entirely different form from the first clue, and it may look nothing at all like the link to the first clue.  Just what the link DOES look like, I can't say.

2)The link that leads to the second clue must be located in a place that can be logically deduced from the clues.  The three "victims" for the second clue were not chosen randomly.  There is no evidence of them having posted on this board at all.  Their names are the clues.  In the case of the first clue, there was a clear, obvious pattern that led to the location of the first clue.  In the second case, the names of the three victims must all point in one direction, and I suspect that the combination of the names leads to the clue.  However, since we know the clue has been moved from its original location, I submit that it is possible that the clues from the victims' names can lead to something referenced on multiple pages of the website, allowing the clue to be moved.

What do you all think of my conclusions?

Great post GKC Fan, I couldn't agree with you more on everything you wrote.  In reference to your first point, I think it is not so much what we are looking for, but what we are looking at.  I feel like taking a break from this, and then going back over everything except taking more time to look at things.

GKCfan, I can't take credit for discovering the numbers add up to her birth year - it was another member (can't remember who, but well done!) - but it's the theory i most favour at the moment.

Maybe people are too scared to announce they've found the second clue, but I don't think there's any danger to them if they do. The problem with Heisel and Hercule was that they discovered the clue after the first murder, i'm sure they would still be alive if they'd waited until Agatha_911 before they announced they'd found it. If anybody does discover the clue I hope they let us know, so at least we know it's possible!

GKCfan-avatar
GKCfan 21 May 10 at 8:34 p.m. GMT

student_dylan, I think you've discovered the significance of the numbers!  They add up to her birth year, 1890 (although this is now the 120th anniversary of her birth).  I still don't know where to look for the second clue.

Unfortunately, I think that people are afraid to announce that they've found the second clue, since the first two people to find it early were "killed."  I wonder if people don't start announcing that they've found it, if we'll get more clues.  I still haven't gotten anywhere with finding the second clue...

student_dylan 21 May 10 at 7:06 p.m. GMT

All of these got me unbelievably and embarressingly excited and certain that i'd struck gold when i thought of them... so sad, just a junior detective here

I think it's most likely though that the fact the whole numbers add up to 1890 - AC's year of birth and that this year celebrates the 110th anniversary of her birth - is too much of a coincidence, it has to be! But where to go from there...? Any ideas?

student_dylan-avatar
student_dylan 21 May 10 at 7:06 p.m. GMT

This is so tricky, and i feel stumped and increasingly frustrated, grrr! Some of my theories:

1. Numbers added together 9+1+8+8+8+9+1+1= 45 and according to the AC bio section her novels have been translated into 45 languages

2. 888 (8x3) = 24 = four and twenty blackbirds = A Pocket full of Rye!

3. Agatha_911 - is that Agatha dialling 911 on hardcover of Roger Ackroyd? I think we're v clever MissQuin for thinking of this, lol!

4.91888911 - it has sort of a mirror image thing going on, but only kind of, so maybe 'The Mirror (is) crack'd' ?

I looked through all the books featuring phone calls, nothing. I looked under SOS (phone call to 911 is an SOS isn't it?)

Ive checked the time line, but it's not working properly on my computer, I thought the years 1890 or 1990 could be important, or the year Rosaline was born, but Ive found nothing.

So I looked through the books and in fact Ive been through nearly every page on the website. I'm really stuck.

Maybe this is a cruel hoax and there's no clue at all!

ATM I'm looking through the forum posts in case it's there, I'm doing the short story collection. Let me know if you find it. I'd love to know it's really there!

I found the timeline to not be working properly either. I hope the clue isn't hidden in it somewhere.  I will definately keep you posted, please do the same :)

Lucky us, we get the harder search

I guess what I don't get then is how can the clue be placed somewhere else?  The victims names were meant to show some sort of pattern, has that pattern changed now?

right, so the first set of murders gave us a hint to the location of the first clue.So the second set of murders should give a hint to the location of the second clue. The second set of victims are in two parts, a number and a name. . . bear with me. . thinking out loud at the moment.

So it could be that they point to something and it could be that they form a chain in which we have to find the missing link. hmm

It is difficult.  Do you need to look at the numbers or are they there just to throw you off.  Not sure what Bea means, but Agatha and Rosie could mean mother and daughter, or family etc.

On the other hand if the numbers matter what is the connection?  I have racked my brain, as well as the Christie Timeline and still can't come up with anything. You could probably take several meanings from the numbers.  I started with the following;

91

888

911 - if this is an increase to 91, could the next number in the pattern be;

8888?  Then what does that mean, 32?

Lol as you can probably tell, I have no idea at this point.  Could also be the date of something.

Your theories don't bother Agathasmykid. I think that the more theories the closer we can get to the clue. One of the theories has to be correct, right? hehe.

No, really, I have been reading your theories and some of them make a lot of sense but I think we are still missing some information that will come with the following death. Maybe tomorrow there could be another murder. I remember beatriz91's death was last Thursday so who knows? Maybe tomorrow will have another death and with it the final piece of the puzzle that will lead us to the second clue. I can't wait!!!!

Thanks na well.  it is certainly fun to come up with ideas and I agree the more theories the better.  Yes, one more death would help alot, especially if clues get posted after three victims.  The numbers in each name keep throwing me off and I am not sure where to look next.  I may just wait until May 24 or the next death before i start searching the website again.

9+1= 10, or 2010

8+8+8= 24

The 'piggies' reference maybe from 5 Little Pigs. May is the 5th month.

Maybe the next clue will be posted on the website on May 24, 2010?

It looks exactly like the graves the victims are being shown on.  I wonder if there is a link there somewhere.

The website's just using the cover of the UK paperback version of 'Murder at the Vicarage' because it's a neat idea to have the murder victim's names on a gravestone. I'm certain they're not intending it as a visual clue hinting at that particular novel

I think we're all waiting for confirmation of the next clue.

I was hoping for another murder today. I can't think of any new theories, and am waiting to explore the ones I have already mentioned.

Anything new????

=( Should we start looking for the second clue now???

MissQuin 18 May 10 at 4:31 p.m. GMT

I don't think the two people killed, could say where the clue was.

Thracias-avatar
Thracias 18 May 10 at 3:43 p.m. GMT

If someone could tell us where the last clue was, I think I could find out why it was there. And we could eliminate that book because it obliously wont be there. And the numbers 91 and 888 could add up to something like a date? Whxih AC wrote in that year?

EDIT : And maybe someone telling us where the last clue was could help us with the clue we're currently trying to solve.

Perhaps... but I really think that we'll be surprised with another body and finally the second clue...

I agree wtih this, I think it is being held off until the third victim is announced. Too bad though, it would have been fun to have had a chance to find it by now.

This always happens while I'm sleeping! lol. Oh no, I have a number in my username! But I think they are creating the victims, so I don't think I'm in any more danger than all of you. *dies*

Has anyone checked to see if rosie888 posted anything? 

I think the second clue may have originally been posted somewhere in relation to "Five Little Pigs", but it has been moved. Thats why the murderer had no qualms about leaving such an obvious note. 

I just noticed that Moderator2 said that "Beatriz91 and rosie888" are the only clues we have to go on. Is this a confirmation of our theories that the murderer is murdering in "sets"?

There is a Beatrice mentioned in "And Then There Were None"... It was the name of the servent girl turned out by Emily Brent, when she found out about Beatrice's pregnancy... B jumps of a bridge in her dispair, and drown...

Hello everyone its been a while since I was on here last. Yesterday I got on and saw what was going on. I looked for the first clue a long time, but didn't find it until today. I got to thinking and realized I should have known where it was by the info given.

Do you know if we will get any information telling us if the 2nd clue is back up on here?

Agathasmykid-avatar
Agathasmykid 17 May 10 at 10:11 p.m. GMT

Are the numbers the key to the clue?  Who knows.  Also the "piggies"  part may or may not be important.  5 Little Pigs is an obvious choice, as is any title with numbers in it.

Just to add to ideas about the numbers;

Maybe instead of 91888, one could also read it as 1024 which is the sum of each set of numbers, or 34, which is the sum of all of the numbers put together.

1024 - 10 could represent 2010, 24 could represent a date, and the next victim may represent a month? Anyways, just some addtional ideas I had....

I think Agatha wrote 'Curtain' for Rosalind.  However I haven't been able to find any clues there.....at least not yet.

Rosalind would be a good fit for the clues we already have all right. I checked 'A Daughter's a Daughter' by Mary Westmacott - and it's not there either. Seemed like a good guess though, might be worth checking again after the next murder if they are waiting until then to post the clue

student_dylan-avatar
student_dylan 17 May 10 at 9:39 p.m. GMT

The only theory i really have at the moment is pretty much the same as everybody else at the moment: the numbers in the victims' names seem to be the key to locating the clue.

What way are the numbers important? 9-1 is 8, and the Rosie888 contains 8(x3). My best guess at the moment is that we need to find a connection between AC and the number 8. Hopefully the next victim's name will in some way contain '8' - if it doesn't we'll know we're well off and will have to think of something else.

It could actually be that the numbers aren't actually important - but a bluff. But in that case I'm stuck as what to make of the only other information we have: 'Beatriz' and 'Rosie' - apart from the obvious: are there characters with those names in any novels/stories? I don't think so - and waaaaay to obvious, I'm embarrassed to EVEN HAVE MENTIONED IT lol!! It's probably correct and they're spinster sisters in one of the lesser known short stories.....

student_dylan-avatar
student_dylan 17 May 10 at 9:28 p.m. GMT

I think they put it up early unaware that it would be found so quickly, especially accidentally the way Heisel found it: all their hard work devising the murders and clues for nothing!

I imagine their thinking is that having the clue found so soon deflates the mystery and tension, and makes the next two murders redundant - and the wait for them to happen a bit boring. I imagine they want this experience to be as suspensful and intriguing as AC's novels And it's certainly becoming so, don't you think?!!

Agathasmykid-avatar
Agathasmykid 17 May 10 at 8:49 p.m. GMT

What is also a mystery is why would the website put up the second clue in the first place if it was too early?

"when this will be is anyone’s guess"

The way I read this is that the second clue could be put up at any time, could be today or a month from now.

MissQuin-avatar
MissQuin 17 May 10 at 5:16 p.m. GMT

I don't think the 2nd clue is on here at the moment.

Perhaps the clue simply is not there yet. The note said that Mystery Figure has removed the clue, but might put it back again at another time. But it also implies that for now, the clue is not there yet, where-ever "there" is.

I absolutly agree with you...

Anything come to your minds?

Marcia96-avatar
Marcia96 17 May 10 at 4:46 p.m. GMT

yes i think that its not in the section with the 'stories and detectives'.. but where could it be ??? i have checked it in the other pages as well but still nothing...:(

Thracias-avatar
Thracias 17 May 10 at 4:43 p.m. GMT

By hard, maybe he means that it's not in the section that I (maybe you guys aswell?) was looking in, the "stories and detectives" section?

MissQuin-avatar
MissQuin 17 May 10 at 4:40 p.m. GMT

Butler said it was hard to find and HH said he found it by mistake, MHP said I thnik he found it by accident too.

hmm well someone has to tell us at least if it was in an obvious place or nott....

hmm i checked the book called the daughte's daughter but found nothing and also i checked her last book with poirot called the curtain but found nothing about it also....

Thracias-avatar
Thracias 17 May 10 at 4:35 p.m. GMT

One of her romance books which she wrote might be related to roses or something?

Thracias-avatar
Thracias 17 May 10 at 4:34 p.m. GMT

Any books dedicated towards her daughter?

Marcia96-avatar
Marcia96 17 May 10 at 4:33 p.m. GMT

i checked that also .... but still nothing:(:(....

Thracias-avatar

Or the triple eight could mean 3 as in third girl or three act tradgedy. I'll go check them out.

i have looked both books.... but found nothing:(....

MissQuin-avatar
MissQuin 17 May 10 at 4:31 p.m. GMT

2nd clue could have been Five little pigs? These little piggies should have stayed at home

Poor HH being reffered to a piggie! He won't be pleased with that! I think the clue might have been under 5 little pigs then? It was then removed, or that's a ruse. Was there a Beatrice in 5 little pigs? I don't remember one. But HH said he found it by accident.

Rosie888 hmmm

Thracias-avatar
Thracias 17 May 10 at 4:30 p.m. GMT

Any books with roses in it?

MissQuin-avatar
MissQuin 17 May 10 at 4:28 p.m. GMT

I wonder if someone who posted the correct location of the clue, would be killed?

I looked for clue when it was put on, but I didn't find it.

Marcia96-avatar
Marcia96 17 May 10 at 4:28 p.m. GMT

yes please tell us;) if you dont want to say fully where it was at least tell us if it was in an obvious place or you have to concentrate to find it...????!??!?!

Marcia96-avatar
Marcia96 17 May 10 at 4:26 p.m. GMT

hmm yes thats an idea.. yes i think that Rosie= Rosalind but 888 dont have the least idea what it is . also 91 could mean the date that rosalind was born so the 2nd clue i think is based on Rosalind.....

Thracias-avatar
Thracias 17 May 10 at 4:25 p.m. GMT

Well, now that the previous second clue has gone, The butlerdidit, could you tell us where that was? It could be useful?

Thracias-avatar
Thracias 17 May 10 at 4:24 p.m. GMT

Beatriz91, no idea but Rosie888? Rosie=Rosalind? 888 could mean 24? 3 digits?

Marcia96-avatar
Marcia96 17 May 10 at 4:20 p.m. GMT

i think the numbers under their names had to do something with the 2nd clue....;)

Thracias-avatar
Thracias 17 May 10 at 4:19 p.m. GMT

YES!! Finally!! The second clue........Where is it? 91 and 888

Marcia96-avatar
Marcia96 17 May 10 at 4:17 p.m. GMT

hmm thats weird... okay then if it is gone tell us if it was to an obvious place or you had to concentrate to find it... eventhough it is gone they might put it back...

TheButlerDidIT-avatar
TheButlerDidIT 17 May 10 at 4:12 p.m. GMT

It's gone! I swore I found it and now I went to see if there was any hidden clues or messages in it and then it disappeared!

Shino_Ellery-avatar
Shino_Ellery 17 May 10 at 4:06 p.m. GMT

And 91 being the year she was born? That's a good theory!

Agathasmykid-avatar
Agathasmykid 17 May 10 at 4:01 p.m. GMT

The way I read the the current note is that the second clue was on here, and then taken off!  I wish someone had said that before I speant a good chunk of the weekend looking for it.  I can see that there are going to be some frustrating bumps along the way. On to the mystery though....

In the first clue discussion ee started talking about some sort of link to Agatha's daughter, and Rosie may be short for Rosalind......

HarleyBarley-avatar
HarleyBarley 17 May 10 at 3:44 p.m. GMT

It might be missing, but there still stands a chance that it is still there. It was only my interpretation of the Mystery Figure's note and the resulting news that gave me that impression.

MissQuin-avatar
MissQuin 17 May 10 at 3:39 p.m. GMT

So the 2nd clue is no longer there? I spent hours looking for it! Although I must add, it challeged my little grey cells t the limit. I'm still enoying finding clues and all the speculation.

HarleyBarley-avatar
HarleyBarley 17 May 10 at 3:34 p.m. GMT

Well, well. Shinichi managed to trouble the Mystery Figure greatly with his last breath, eh? Defiant to the end, he is.

I suppose that Butler meant he managed to sneak into the clue before it was removed. I might be wrong, though.

Shino_Ellery-avatar
Shino_Ellery 17 May 10 at 3:13 p.m. GMT

So now we have to wait for the next victim? Marcia96 and ilovewalruses2... We're in mortal danger!!! Because like the victims, we have numbers at the end of our user names!   That's it I'm gonna change now!

I have found it but I don't wanna be killed!

From reding the post about the latest murder (rosie888) I understand that the second clue to the identity of the murderer probably won't appear on the website until the next murder victim is revealed.

Have you really found it TheButlerDidIT, or are you playing with us?!!!

student_dylan-avatar
student_dylan 17 May 10 at 2:21 p.m. GMT

Great another clue! And the moderator's explained the motive's for the two fan murders as well, which clears up the confusion and speculatino surrounding that.

Marcia96 17 May 10 at 1:33 p.m. GMT

wow this is becoming even more difficult .. hmm 91 and 888 what could this mean??!?!?! well i have to search now for the 2nd clue. btw have they posted the 2nd clue??...???
