The entity known as Joe was prevented from acting on his threat last night.
As of this morning, the entity known as Joe was prevented from acting on his threat, to delete all known files or data confirming the existence of Archie Klatos -- thanks to our readers taking it upon themselves to solve the cypher he released yesterday afternoon.
The Reddit users known as "Dawkson," "TIdeas," "sarcasticsardine1212," "willstreety" and discord user "P_Luck" took it upon themselves to risk their lives when contacted last night by the illusive "Joe." Creating a discord committed to solving the Cypher, they were eventually contacted by him by this same public call.
In summation, they eventually solved the cypher, after realizing Joe had purposely left out one of the cyphers needed to solve it: the letter Y.
The letter "Y" was purposely left out of the bottom right, just before the roman numeral "23," to prevent searchers from solving the cypher.
This is incredibly alarming as it suggests he will leave intentional obstacles intended to sidetrack the effectiveness of this investigation in the future. Why is unclear, but what is perfectly clear is that this assailant has now intention of allowing Archie Klatos to be found.
In his own words, we present the testimony from "P_Luck" of what transpired below:
Q: Let’s take it back to the beginning. You and your group come to this discord server, trying to solve a cypher and then… what is it that happens?
A: Well… Joe just came… and started to talk with us.
Q: What did he start saying to you?
A: He was talking with… I think mostly with Dawkson? And [sarcasticsardine1212].
Q: Do you think there was any particular reason he singled them out?
A: Yes, because Dawkson was always talking to him. I think that’s why he was answering him the most.
Q: Dawkson was the most confrontational?
A: Not all the time, but mostly.
Q: What did he mostly say?
A: He was writing all the time about 23 men, about Klatos, he was… telling us humans are stupid… about his crimes I think.
Q: He claimed to be guilty of certain crimes?
A: He was telling it like a story… he was remembering some stuff like… what he was doing… but I’m not sure, was it to help us with our goal or something else?
Q: Do you think he was saying a lot of these things in order to distract you?
A: Yes, and no. Some of those were distractions for sure but… but some of them were also hints for us… like, he was talking about Arabic and Italian scale systems.
Q: And did that information regarding Musical Scales end up being useful?
A: No, not at all. There’s this link, it was nothing to do with the four notes or scale systems. I asked my friends to tell me which four notes it was, but it was of no use.
Q: Do you think he’s just toying with everybody? What do you think his motives are?
A: Turns out it might be something more, and serious. I think he might be out for something big, but it’s hard to tell now. Right after he sent the link, he left. He was not online [after that].
Q: At this time, I’m sure you know, we cannot presently confirm that he has any actual direct connection to Archie Klatos... do you feel we should take him seriously?
A: It’s really a tough question actually… does he really have something to do with it or is he, as you said, a copycat who’s trying to get some attention? Sometimes when I read his messages, I was pretty sure he was the man behind all of this but there was also times where he didn’t know what to say, like… he wasn’t ready for some questions.
Q: You caught him off guard then?
A: Maybe. I don’t know. Not me, actually, I was almost all the time trying to get the link. Like I said, [it was] mostly [sarcasticsardine1212] and Dawkson talking to him, but… as I read through the messages now… it’s hard to tell. I think you should ask someone else about it.
We thanked Mr. Luck for his time.
We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank the avid readers of our paper, who out of compassion and commitment to the truth, risked their lives in order to save the life of a missing person. It truly reminds us at this paper the best of which humanity is capable of.
If our original head writer, Miss Katerine Lanshackle, was still in her right state of mind and could see this... she would be happy at what we've accomplished today.
We'd like to remind our readers, the discord dedicated to finding Archie Klatos can be found here: https://discord.gg/WuktET
We will now officially be consulting them when they may have something of use. We also encourage our readers to contact the Cuyahoga County Police Department if they have any information which might help this investigation.
