Newamush | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 12:54 pm  I would assume that a confirmation letter could be sent by an assistant. We could approach a question as: Is Jack Hal relevant? |
Spamgirl | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 12:58 pm  Notes: - Handwriting is all different - Timeline …25-Sep-92 sent letter requesting addition to policy …1-Oct-92 got reply asking for signature …12-Oct-92 reply from audrey …15-Oct-92 changes effective …12-Nov-92 confirmation …25-Jul-93 ernie dead …29-Jul-93 death told to company …18-Mar-94 letter to company from irene …31-Mar-94 new address effective …2-Apr-94 complaint lodged - Gibralter is in Ireland and Kenya is in East Africa - The one off spain is GibraltAr, The one in ireland is GibraltEr Things in RED have been answered no, BLUE answered yes - Does Ernie Buckle is anagrammed to Irene Clubek mean anything? - Is the fact Audrey specified Renee as the benificiary and Irene is the one asking for benefits significant? Is the fact that Audrey signed her name Audie significant? (nicknames) - Is the fact that the cousin took 7 months to ask for money important? - Is the spelling of the word Gibralter significant? - Did Christine Cooper notice something about locations? - Is there something wrong there because Christine didn't actually sign the authorization? - Is Jack Hal relevant? - Is the crossed out "beneficiaries" important? (i.e. a Freudian slip?) - Does it have anything to do with Audrey and Ernie not filling out the 22A form properly in the first place? (At first Audrey forgot to put a beneficiary if she and Ernie died together - maybe another Freudian slip?) - Is the fact that Audrey's body wasn't found important? (i.e. she ain't dead) - Did Ernie really request the additional insurance or did his wife claim it was him? (The insurance company was doing their communications with him, but It seems the wife was the one doing all the communicating with the company on her own) - Does it have anything to do with Irene's signature? (Even though WE didn't see the signature, Christine did (on form 22A or whatever)... maybe it looked like Irene's?) - Do the rules/laws in Gibralter or Kenya matter? - Was Irene informed by the insurance company of a claim? (i.e. she wasn't informed, therefore how did she know?) - Does it have to do with the above BECAUSE IF SHE WAS REALLY IRENE SHE'D STILL HOLD THE HOPE THAT AUDREY MAY STILL BE ALIVE?? |
Newamush | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:00 pm  Spam, I think we can eliminate the one about Irene's signature. If it was important, they would have shown us, right? |
Newamush | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:01 pm  Don't forget guys....We also get one hint |
Spamgirl | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:03 pm  done |
Azriel | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:09 pm  Irene Clubek and Jack Hal's handwriting look close to me. The capitol C and small k are alot alike. I dunno I might be stretching for something though. |
Newamush | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:14 pm  What about a question to the effect: Is a document missing? |
Spamgirl | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:14 pm  I think you're stretching it ;) Seeing it had files attached and yadda yadda, I think that's a non-issue |
Newamush | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:16 pm  I also notice in the fax from the police the first sentence says: "Your telephone message of 27/07/93 handed to me this a.m." What message? Is that relevant? |
Azriel | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:19 pm  What I'm saying Spam is that Jack Hal could be defrauding the company and added that file after seeing that these people died together with no beneficiary listed. |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:21 pm  Interesting red herring with the anagrams. |
Elitist | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:22 pm  New - the Gibralter thing would be it it was actually Gibraltar, then Audrey and Irene misspelled it the same. Irene probably would not misspell the name of the place she was living. It makes sense it was Gibraltar, not Gibralter, since she is moving to East Africa which is just south of Gibraltar. |
Newamush | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:24 pm  Should we pose that as the next question: Did Christine Cooper notice the Gibraltar misspelling? |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:26 pm  Oh man, don't tell me this was a "spelling bee" puzzle. How funny. |
Spamgirl | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:27 pm  OH AZ, that's good... you're right, didn't think of that |

Elitist | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:27 pm  I think it is a good question (maybe rephrased) but there are other good questions out there also. It could be a red herring, just like the anagrams, though. |
Newamush | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:33 pm  In the chat room, I suggested that maybe we should pick four more questions and then ask for the hint....what you guys think? |
Azriel | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:34 pm  Christine said the case might also involve a felony. Perhaps, she thinks that Jack Hal (and/with Audrey Buckle) murdered Ernie Buckle. |
Newamush | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:35 pm  Jack Hal = Jackal |
Azriel | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:37 pm  I don't think the rules/laws in Kenya or Gibralter have anything to do with it. Sounds like a waste of a good question to me. |

Spamgirl | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:52 pm  Map of Gibraltar | Map of Kenya |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 02:05 pm  Irene is Audrey trying to collect on both deaths (her husband and faking her own) since, as Elitist pointed out, Gibralter is misspelled by both Irene and Audrey. If Irene had lived in that country, she would know how to spell it properly. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 02:08 pm  spam, bless your heart. I just spent a whole bunch of time trying to get maps of kenya and gibraltar. |
