Hired help


Since we still did not know what the coded E-mail messages said, we decided to hire someone to help us out. That was a great decision on our part. The specialist helped us to decode the messages as well as trace where the E-mails came from. The specialist told us that the messages are coming from a person named Bryan Smith, who is a fan of the Texas Ranger Museum on Facebook. 

Both of the messages were deciphered by the specialist. The first E-mail message used a keyboard shift cipher and it says “You have some very interesting objects in your museum. You might want to be careful, or something may just disappear.”

The second message used a Caesar cipher and says “You discuss some very interesting people in your museum. I especially like Frank Hamer and M. T. Gonzaullas.”
