Clues




 * Sounds In The Room
 * Dripping water (from the Day 1 video)
 * Train on tracks/subway? (from the Day 1 video)
 * The room shaking and rattling, followed by a loud wooden creaking noise from above. (from the Day 1 video)
 * Pigeons flying away (from the Day 1 video, when she bangs on the wall under the window)
 * A song being sung by a little girl accompanied by a music box: "The more we get together, together, together, the more we get together the happier we'll be. For your friends are my friends, and my friends are your friends, the more we get together the happier we'll be."
 * Christina said she hears noises, like cars on a freeway (in her web-cam video) and later wrote on her FB page that it could also be construction or beach waves.

Possible Locations
 * Albuquerque, New Mexico " 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!!!"
 * It is theorized that Christina is being held in either Los Angeles or Lake Tahoe because of the connection to L.F. Buscaglia.
 * See "Acorn Wallpaper" and "Pipes and Janriski Brothers Plumbing" for further details supporting the LA theory.
 * See this post for a lot of info for LA. "http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100328247995761&set=o.136444813097260&type=1&theater"
 * The Lake Tahoe theory stems from one of Kirk Francis' photos of a lake that is similar to Lake Tahoe terrain.
 * Buscaglia died of a heart attack on June 12, 1998 at his home in Glenbrook, Nevada, near Lake Tahoe. He was 74.
 * Truth or Consequence, New Mexico based on the NM Flag icon hidden on the http://332118.com/truth page. (POSSIBLY DEBUNKED BY - http://118233.com/truth and http://118233.com/13898350428)
 * Googling 332118 (reverse of that clue) takes us to a rental property in South Beach, Miami. It was suggested that maybe she was in Miami based on sun setting info she gave us from before. She was out for 2-3 days and that is how long it days to drive from Seattle to Miami Beach.
 * Something in LA, possible location for her: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=5718237049558895567&q=118.233%2C-118.233&hl=en&ved=0CBEQ-gswAA&sa=X​&ei=HEwzTuexPJSMsAOBvKzgCg. It leads to a place called "biscuit lofts." Also, if you type the address in on Google Maps, it shows a street view of the building.

The Laptop
 * Was already on and logged her in by scanning her face.
 * Has a clover sticker with a small sparkly in the middle in the lower left corner of the keypad section. The four leaves of the clover represent Faith, Hope, Love, and Luck.
 * Is blocked from sites such as Skype and GoogleMaps (Most likely by restricting the internet connection via blocking ports or using a firewall.)
 * The Internet connection is cutting on and off, Christina thinks whoever has trapped her is controlling it. Is there a pattern in the amount of time she's allowed to be online, and the times when it is cut off? (See "Christina Online & Offline" doc)

Quote on the Book Page
 * The page was taped underneath the laptop in the room.
 * "A single rose can be my garden... A single friend my world --Leo F. Buscaglia" hand written in the margin in red marker.
 * Circled letters and symbols on the page are -AAH.BCC using a black ballpoint pen.
 * The page is suggested to be from a romance novel called "Scandalous Brides" by Amanda Mccabe. (unconfirmed)
 * There are 9 - 10 pinholes under the word "friend" (unconfirmed, my monitor doesn't show that much detail.)

- A A H. B C C / -118.233
 * It has been suggested that the letters convert to longitude -118.233 (unconfirmed)
 * Other ideas suggested so far for the numbers are a library book call number (118 represents Force and energy, and 233 represents mankind.), a radio frequency, part of a phone number,
 * Ideas suggested for the meaning of the letters: Broderbund Calendar Creator file extension, if read from right to left the letters are AB-AH.CC. (However as the plumbing clue reveals further down, it seems the numbers are more important than the letters.)

Leo F. Buscaglia http://www.buscaglia.com/about.htm
 * aka Dr. Love, his focus was on love and friendship between all people.
 * Links that Christina posted:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Buscaglia

Other website: http://www.spiritsite.com/writing/leobus/index.shtml
 * Part of the Wiki states: "While teaching at USC, Buscaglia was moved by a student's suicide to contemplate human disconnectedness and the meaning of life, and began a non-credit class he called Love 1A. His book and numerous recorded and televised lectures, some of which became available through PBS, became extremely well received. He argued that social bonds are essential to transcending the stresses of everyday life and enriching it above the limitations of poverty as well as crossing communication gaps between generations. His public lecture audiences, which numbered in the thousands, nearly always spontaneously formed a line after his talks in order to get books signed, and most importantly, to hug this outgoing speaker."
 * Born in Los Angeles, CA - Died in Lake Tahoe, NV (See "Location Possibilities")
 * Another example of community/cooperative approaches modeled by Buscaglia can be seen in the Felice Foundation founded by him in 1994 “to give special aid and attention to those who have dedicated themselves to the betterment of personkind through the dynamics of helping one another... structured around the dynamics of sharing and giving, and influencing others to do the same...to encourage and reinforce socially contributive behaviors where the focus is clearly outside the "self," looking instead toward the welfare of others and the community.” (The World of Leo Buscaglia Website)

The Scandalous Bride
 * Theory: Jennifer Myer was about to get married at the same time Christina disappeared. Is she the scandalous bride?
 * "OK PEOPLE. I am NOT used to being talked to like this. Christina and I are NOT fighting. I DO NOT know this Lucca you guys are talking about. I am NOT a Scandalous Bride. LETS FOCUS ON CHRISTINA HERE. She's the one in trouble, the one we need to help. NOT ABOUT ME. NOT ABOUT MY WEDDING." --Jennifer Myer
 * If you take out the capitalized words it turns into: "I am used to being talked to like this. Christina and I are fighting. I know this Lucca you guys are talking about. I am a Scandalous Bride. She's the one in trouble, the one we need to help."
 * A Note from Iziezi: I really have no idea where this clue came from, it seems to me to be completely random and illogical.

Acorn Wallpaper Amapola
 * There is a website stamped on the back of the ripped wallpaper: www.acornwallpaper.com
 * Two of the wallpaper samples match the wallpaper in the room where Christina is being held.
 * At the bottom of the site, it is stated that the wallpaper is shipped in from China to the Port of Los Angeles. (suggesting that Christina is being held in Los Angeles somewhere.)
 * The design of the wallpaper around Christina's bed is called "Pretty Little Poppy".
 * Someone googled "pretty little poppy" and this song by Jimmy Dorsey came up. Here are the lyrics:

My pretty little poppy

You're like that lovely flower, so sweet and heavenly

Since I found you

My heart is wrapped around you

And loving you it seems to beat a rhapsody

Amapola

The pretty little poppy

Must copy its endearing charm from you

Amapola, Amapola

How I long to hear you say, "I love you."

Clothing Receipt
 * The receipt is for an unknown store.
 * It appears to be for two pairs of jeans at $30 each, no sales tax.
 * Paid with Cash, "Personal Bank Transaction = YES"
 * There is no date on the receipt, but the time of the transaction is 5:21 pm.

Coffee Reciept & Java Bird Coffee House Four: The symbolic meaning of number Four deals with stability
 * This is the last place Christina visited before being kidnapped. Her friend Jennifer called them to see if they had security video footage, but they don't.
 * Receipt for Java Bird Coffee House in Seattle, WA was in her pocket.
 * On the bottom of the receipt is a website: www.javabirdjobs.net
 * In the "About" section on the website, it mentions "Be on the lookout for that funny little Java Bird". There is a real bird called the Java Bird. http://www.google.com/search?q=java+bird&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=gas​vTra2J4PUiAKt2OAr&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=631
 * On the menu page, all items have prices for small and large sizes, except Espresso ($2.00), Smoothies ($4.50), and Muffins (no price listed)
 * On the menu page, the cost of a coffe is $4.25, but the receipt shows she was charged $4.29 before tax.
 * In the Index of Images for the website, there are 11 jpgs with "Janriski" (as in Janriski Brother Plumbers) in the filename. The 9th jpg is the section with the paragraph about the Java Bird in Seattle. http://javabirdjobs.net/images/
 * The difference between the price on the website and the price on the receipt is 4. Could this deal with the captors "obsession" with the number 4?
 * The spiritual meaning of the number 4..

and invokes the grounded nature of all things. Consider the four seasons, four

directions, four elements all these amazingly powerful essences wrapped up in

the nice square package of Four. Fours represent solidity, calmness, and

home. A recurrence of Four in your life may signify the need to get back to your

roots, center yourself, or even "plant" yourself. Fours also indicate a need for

persistence and endurance.

Torn Menu (Yang Chow Restaurant)
 * Christina Two pieces of torn menu were found in the sofa match this menu: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=170968849638373&id=214021851970980
 * The menu is from the restaurant located in Woodland Hills/Canoga Park, not the Los Angeles location.
 * The location of the restaurant is approximately 1-1/2 miles north of the 101 freeway.

Nightstand Reciept
 * Says "Something For You" on the top.
 * The number in the upper right corner is 00013246
 * List item: 1 Nightstand at $26 (Is this suggestive of a one-night stand? Christina won't answer any questions about this.)
 * Tax $0.96
 * Total $26.96
 * The back of the receipt appears to be blank, except for a spill spot of some sort.

Pipes and Janriski Brothers Plumbing
 * There are five pipes in the room, with the first two valves are turned horizontally, and the last three are turned perpendicular. It has been suggested that this is binary code or Morse code.
 * The two horizontal pipes are marked with red in the center, the others aren't. Someone suggested: "Two knobs with red on them....two radiators in the room....since they are off makes sense that they are off because it is summer. The other three I would assume maybe water/gas"
 * Someone else suggested: "Looks like steam pipes. Ex hubby was a plumber, so I picked up a thing or 2, especially when I would bring him lunch in tons of old, old old buildings."
 * There is a website stamped on one of the pipes: www.janriskibrothersplumbing.com
 * The website only has a short message: "Truth Is The Way..." and a phone number. 424-235-1782
 * The phone number is issued through Sprint and located in Malibu.
 * Calling the phone number lets you hear a creepy recording, a distorted voice saying 1 1 8 2 3 3 over and over, with the song "The More We Get Together" playing wordlessly underneath. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=2138653980471&oid=214021851970980&comments

Truth Is The Way
 * Googling the phrase "Truth Is The Way", someone found this link: http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Articles/TruthWay/truthway.html The first two paragraphs eerily represent what Christina is going through.

Xtina
 * Scrawled on the wall by her bed in red marker? Christina swears it wasn't there on July 25, but it shows up in her photo on July 26. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=233338623372636&set=a.232623290110836.61256.214021851970980&type=1​&theater
 * A nickname for Christina, created by Christina Aguilera, based on the idea that Xmas is short for Christmas, therefore Xtina is short for Christina.

Appointment Slip
 * An appointment slip that hasn't been filled out. (For: Date: Time: Location: )
 * The lettering on the slip appears to be calligraphed, or printed in a calligraphy font.
 * There is a large, blue (green?) letter "A" calligraphed in the upper left corner.
 * The upper left corner has been torn off and re-taped together, through the edge of the calligraphed letter "A".

Yrfriendsrmyfriends Dear "Friend",
 * Someone discovered christina's gmail address: christina.perasso@gmail.com. After emailing the account they received a quick reply. The message was as follows:

Christina is a little tied up right now. As if you really cared. But

we'll find out if you do, now, won't we? YOUR FRIENDS ARE MY FRIENDS - The modern world has ripped us apart. Technology has tricked us. The human condition cannot be rendered in zeros and ones. It has made us think that each of us can stand alone. IT HAS MADE US BELIEVE that what kept us alive for millennia is no longer needed. It has shattered families, broken communities, made friends little more than shadows. It has made us think that each of us are kings and queens, masters of our own tiny worlds – when in fact we are prisoners in our tiny castles, more exposed to the perils of existence than we have ever been. We have forgotten what we need most. That only together are we strong. That sharing empowers us. That to help another is to help ourselves. I WILL show the world the error of its ways. I will show them the truth. The lesson will be hard. They will fear me, hate me. THEY WILL CALL ME INSANE. But they will learn. TRUTH IS THE WAY. The modern world can be so cruel. Technology can pull us apart. Hide us away from each other. Make us try to go it alone. Or it can bring us together. No one can stand alone. No one should stand by. Share the burden. Truth is the way.
 * From that point someone else deicided to search the subject line of the message"Yourfriendsaremyfriends" they found a correspoding website as well as a youtube account under the monikor "yrfriendsrmyfriends".
 * YouTube Video: http://www.youtube.com/user/yrfriendsrmyfriends (posted on July 7th, 2011)
 * The video description reads: "The modern world has ripped us apart. Technology has tricked us. The human condition cannot be rendered in zeros and ones. Hide us away from each other. Make us try to go it alone. Or it can bring us together. No one can stand alone. No one should stand by. Share the burden. Truth is the way" Website: http://www.yourfriendsaremyfriends.com/
 * Visiting the website shows the same video again, but if you check the source code for the page, you'll find a poem embedded in the code:
 * Another message is also located in the site's meta description:
 * An interesting article that someone found titled "My friends are your friends, and your friends are my friends..." about internet safety and facebook friends.

http://332118.com A darkness has fallen over the world The fog of diversion, the lie of distraction Proxy has become primary Avatar has become hero You cannot embrace alone You cannot agree with yourself Progress is a group activity Friendship a hands-on pursuit What has crept in to deceive us?

 * One image is a negative image and seems to be a child or doll wearing a coat with a large furry hood. The other image is positive, a girl sitting on the grass wearing a light colored long sleeve shirt with thin, dark stripes. She has her back to the camera, and is looking over her shoulder at us.

where endless roads lead nowhere

childhood keepsakes never surrendered

is this the life you would have us lead?

I will not allow it

I reject the absolute

I will pierce the darkness

New Mexico Flag Symbol? (circle and lines image) http://www.tineye.com/search/52119a5559073446f5ec055baf03b741d12aba73/ Flag of Cimarron?
 * So this is (could be) the Zia Sun Symbol. The Zia are a Native American tribe, who hold the number 4 sacred and Chris's laptop has a 4 leaf clover. Also the Zia's believe that with life comes four sacred obligations one must develop (a strong body, a clear mind, a pure spirit, and a devotion to the welfare of others). Two of the lines from the latest poem line up with this.

Found on http://www.whats-your-sign.com/spiritual-meaning-of-numbers.html
 * The laptop's IP address is 69.49.175.214. The FBI traced this address to a location in New Mexico, but there was a mannequin holding a router and a postcard. (This would seem to indicate that Christina is NOT in New Mexico...)

 * The number 4 occurs alot throughout the clues the captor gives us.

 * Post on Christina's wall from her mom Cathy:

"Remember when you were a little girl and we were stuck on the runway for 4 hours on that horrible flight to Denver? I started panicking and you said “Mommy, hang tough” – it was the sweetest thing, and it totally calmed me down. Now I’m telling you to hang tough. Just hold on sweetheart. You’re going to get out of this."

--Could the 4hours on the flight to Denver have some sort of significance in who took her? Or why? See Cathy Perasso's wall posts
