July 2018

**July 3** Ash vlogs uploaded a video to Youtube Fake Plastic Laundromat. Ash is seen with Dusty from a band called Wanderers at a Laundromat. They perform a cover of the song "Fake plastic trees" by Radiohead. Ash has a wonderful voice. They gain a small audience. We are introduced to Alice and Jordan in this video. The hidden tags in this video are "30015, Ash, ashleigh, vlogs, cpo csb eaala txud lekx, i know where she is" cpo csb eaala txud lekx is a Bifid Cipher and when decoded becomes **all you could have been** 30015 leads to a protected text page. The password for this is "allyoucouldhavebeen"

**July 10**  Ash Vlogs posted an image to Instagram thanking everyone for all the love on the Fake Plastic Laundromat video. It was found that the Bowie album cover on the wall behind her had been altered from the original. Taking the first letter from each track listed on the album led to https://streamable.com/c4fwy with a present emoji as the title. A dark and grainy video showing a garage/shed/workbench type area. A gloved man holds up a drawing in a black picture frame, turning it over he can be seen tapping a finger against the back of it. This appears to be the same drawing that Racka Racka received.

**July 14** ikwsi\_20171006005018 deleted their Instagram account.

**July 17** Danny from Racka Racka visited the I Know Where She Is Discord server and shared photos of what he found inside the tent in Kuitpo Forest. The papers had numbers on the front and letters on the back. When they were placed in chronological order it led to coordinates located in Caurnamont, South Australia. https://goo.gl/maps/A66WcBNbAYk

Danny also said that the other thing found in the tent was a "tin". Inside the tin was a clue that told him to look on the back of the drawing sent to him by Ash BREAK PICTURE. On the back of the drawing was a QR code that led to an image which he was unwilling to share with the server.

Ash Vlogs posted a set of images to Instagram accusing Danny of withholding something else found in the tent and Danny replied by saying whatever had been found had been handed into 'police'.

**July 19** Ash Vlogs uploaded a video to Youtube. "Ferris aint got nothing on Ash". Ash visits the Art Gallery of South Australia (confirming the location of the earlier Instagram photo); the exhibit they tour was up at the gallery between October 2017 and January 2018. Jordan and Alice, from the Fake Plastic Laundromat video, make a return. Ash describes them as her "closest friends". Ash's brother appears on camera at a cafe meeting Ash for a drink. Ash claims her Fake Plastic Laundromat video has 4000 views. Kady's voice is heard through the wall, complaining about a telemarketer and then excusing herself to go take care of some "things". Ash describes Kady as an "old woman" The hidden tags on this video are "Ferris ain't got nothing on Ash, where is ashleigh, did you find it yet, waiting for you, telemarketers are the devil, ash vlogs, i know where she is" A new unlisted video was included in the description of Ferris aint got nothing on Ash. with the title "true art." where a girl can be heard screaming. The hidden tag on this video is "art"

Ash Vlogs posted a photo on Instagram with the description "Ash's day off 🎨 🖼️ 🎡" The photo is an edited version of the work Transpositions by Julie Rrap. The edited photo also contains the words "protectedtext" , "4891" and a treble clef, quarter rest, half rest, and five musical notes. https://www.protectedtext.com/4891 The notes shown in the photo are BDBFC in C Major. Translating these using a Solfa cipher reads o2usr which is rsu2o backwards. This is the password for the protected text.

In the protected text was a link to a dropbox with an image titled tothetouch.jpg

The braille in the image reads rsu2o rsu2o rsu2o rsu2o,

rsu2o 19 20 9 14 7 18 1 25 2 3 rsu2o rsu2o rsu2o rsu2o

rsu2o Translating the numbers using an a1z26 cipher gives stingraybc

Stingraybc was found to lead to https://stingray.bandcamp.com

**July 22** The 4891 protected text was changed to include three tabs.

1 - https://ibb.co/cKyZwy - the original tothetouch.jpg image.

2. - ☼︎♏︎︎◻︎︎□︎︎❒︎︎⧫︎︎♓︎︎■︎︎☝︎ ✌︎■︎︎👎︎ 👌︎♋︎︎■︎︎■︎︎♓︎︎■︎︎☝︎ □︎︎■︎︎🕯︎︎❄︎ ☟︎♏︎︎●︎︎◘ ❄︎♒︎︎♏︎︎💣︎📬︎︎ ︎︎︎ which is wingdings for ""Re︎p︎o︎r︎t︎i︎n︎G An︎D Ba︎n︎n︎i︎n︎G o︎n︎'︎T He︎l︎◘ Th︎e︎M.︎"

3. https://ibb.co/n3NJpJ "︎ with a wing dings title of "☝♓︎❖︎☜ ????☜ ✌ ☼♏︎♋︎⬧︎□︎☠ ❄⚐ ????□︎❍︎☜ ????♋︎♍︎????????︎" This decodes to "Gi︎v︎E ????E A Re︎a︎s︎o︎N TO ????o︎m︎E ????a︎c︎????????︎" When you save this image, it is titled: Screen\_Shot\_2018\_07\_14\_at\_1\_13\_47\_am. This clue verifies that IKWSI had been permanently suspended from Reddit.

**July 24** The protected text was changed again changing some capitalization on a message with the letters BC (for bandcamp)

**July 25** Racka Racka posted a video to Youtube called Exploring the MURDER FARM! where it appears they visit the farm from the earlier given coordinates in Caurnemont. They originally get chased away by the owner, and return again later when it was dark, finding a padlocked shed, using bolt cutters they break in.

**July 27** Ash Vlogs posted a new Youtube video "The worst Uber driver ever" which follows Ash, Alice and Jordan. They give Jordan a one star driver rating. They film a music montage to Flashing Lights just before the radio begins to pick up strange static and a skit that they are being followed. They are headed to watch a movie, and later Ash films at home saying she received a strange package in the mail and she doesn't know who it is from. The IKWSI cult symbols can be seen drawn on the parcel. She opens it to find a hard drive. She lets viewers know she is going to ask Alice for help in accessing the contents of the hard drive. The hidden tags on this video are "the worst uber driver ever, ash vlogs, one star, maybe i'm paranoid, jordan, alice, and you ash, car following, flashing lights, i know where she is" There is a new unlisted video in the description "rip one star" It shows a car driving down the Adelaide freeway at night listening to Ash talking. It sounds like it is parts of her Vlog footage. The man can be heard coughing multiple times. At the end of the video you can hear a phone conversation where Jordan is heard threatening someone to stop calling them. He is going to call the cops. The headlights are flashing and this is found to be Morse code it translates to TAEI. The hidden tag for this video is "a3"

Ash Vlogs posted a new Instagram photo with the description "Flashing lights lights lights 💡 💡 💡" The wingdings on the bottom of the photo translate to yd3mb7ed. Jordan's jacket also has the word tiny url edited onto it in place of Kathmandu. Combining the two clues leads to https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TfxROOGJpA7A5opD3lGn-p5o5Q3lYtkB/viewAn image file with the title "heightened sense" EXIF data for this image shows the words Blind Faith. A Discord member was able to deduce that if the binary code for the image was shrunk into 10 chunks of 6 bits and then decoded into braille led to hlrugaltch.

Editing the photo shows the letters nwheashomr

**July 30** Racka Racka posted a new Youtube video What you didn't see... Ash Vlogs commented on this video saying they have Danny's address and will see him soon. Danny posted an Instagram story saying his house was being stalked and asking people if anyone knew who the person was caught on security camera.

**July 31** Sev Phillippou posted an Instagram story with security camera footage of a girl who had spent three hours outside her house.

#### **Stingray Bandcamp.**

Ghosts Album - Each track on the album has different price tags. $17.10, $85.85, $6, $19, $11, $19, $19. using a A1Z26 cipher to decode those numbers gives "QJHEHEFSKSI" which leads to https://streamable.com/fsksi A video titled "more than 3". Which shows the tent in Kuitpo forest filmed at night. The 'more than 3' reference could be directed at Danny who wondered how many people were in the forest the night he visited the tent. The Morse code seen in the video when translated leads to http://streamable.com/xyida with the description "out the front. dofEGy." This is another video filmed at night and appears to be someone filming Danny's house from the street. dofEGy leads to https://ibb.co/d0fEGy an image with the title: .0001. A tree stump, in Kuitpo forest, with the words "find me." and a carved IKWSI symbol.
