Hey Morbus,

Thanks for requesting the postcard case from our website. I’m really looking forward to working with you on it. I’m not sure what to make of the postcard itself yet, but hopefully we can figure it out together.

I’ll be running to the post office in the next few days, so I’ll be sure to get your case sent out then. Keep an eye out in the mail for a sealed, brown envelope. When you receive it, follow the link on the postcard (www.SleuthKings.com/Missing) to send me an email so we can get started with our investigation.

In the meantime, you should check out our Facebook page. We post things like puzzles, information on cases, and – my personal favorite – shout-outs to people who have helped me solve cases.

Strange Postcard Case: A Hidden Message (1)

From: Sullivan@sleuthkings.com
Subject: Strange Postcard Case: A Hidden Message

You got the postcard. Good.

Someone sent it to me the other day, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to read whatever message is hidden on it. Hopefully, with your heIp, we can.

There’s something you should know: The Sleuth Kings logo and URL address were both included on the postcard when I received it. Somehow, someone got onto the website and added the page without me knowing. As far as I can tell, there’s nothing special about the page – it’s just a contact form for my email – but it’s still concerning.

How they did that isn’t important right now, though. What we need to focus on is figuring out what the postcard’s message is. After studying it for a while, all I can say is that it seems like the easiest place to start is with the box of letters on the back whose first row reads “A F T E R H.”

Try taking a look at that cluster of letters and see if you can figure out what it’s trying to say. Reply to this email and let me know what the message is once you’ve figured it out.

Since “A F T E R H” is red and the rest of the letters are white, I’m guessing they’ve got something to do with how to unscramble this. Maybe “A F T E R H” is an anagram? If I'm right, each column will move as a whole, so every letter (or space) beneath "A F T E R H" will follow the red letter it's under. Once you've unscrambled the anagram and shifted the white letters (or spaces), you should be able to read the message.

Thanks,

Sullivan

P.S. If you need additional heIp, feel free to reply to this email with “HeIp” and I’ll send you my thoughts.
