Someone use Photoshop to lighten the background on the photos, this may lead to more clues. I would, but currently do not have photoshop.

Good call Fremry. Unfortunately, I've already taken my shot at scouring the pics and all I could come up with was that lone "00" jersey, which as I said before, would seem to me to be Robert Parish of the Boston Celtics. I don't know of very many other "00" ballers worthy of being put behind glass. However, feel free to scour away yourself, you never know, you could recognize something obscure...

Well the no smoking sign means Mass., Conn., or NY so far as the East Coast goes. What's the rule in Maine? In NH you can smoke in bars.

The boats in the other pic make me think it's an East Coast bar.

It looks like a Bennigan's to me. That might explain the Celtics jersey. Do they have Bennigan's restaurants on the East Coast?

Of course, if these pictures were randomly taken from some random girl's Myspace, she could be anywhere and it might be totally irrelevant.

Why is everyone so concerned with finding out who the girl is? Almost guaranteed it's just some pictures this dude found on the internet.

Yeah, I posted it before but posting it again...

Well of course we'd love to track her down to personally tell her what horrible crimes have been committed with her pics and ask if she needs help getting over it.

Also, if it's one of Jake's friends from home or a girl that Jake's friend knows, that would pretty much clinch it.

Because the chances of a non-goon seeing this and sending her a link to this thread is very likely. :(




EDIT: VVV Jesus SORRY! Im just trying to help. And i already have platium and archives so im helping for fun :)

Anyways i did a GIS for those images but of course i found nothing. I know there is software out there that can compare images, but im not sure if there is anything to seach the internet like i want. Is there?

I find it wierd that the pictures featuring three people are called either "me..." or "kate.." It seems to me that you wouldn't name a picture of three of your friends by just one of their names, but at the same time, who names a picture of themself with 2 friends "me"? I dunno what this means, other than they probably renamed the pictures..

I guess this is all just a waste of time looking at the pics tho, they are all probably from a random site, or so loosely related to the real person that it would be almost of no use to know who this girl 'm repeating what others have already said.

Well assbag my friend, "she" has neither called nor signed on since around dinner time. Suspect #1 Jake, whose currently living down in NC has been online for nearly 6 hrs but has been idle for over an hour. His suspected accomplice, well start calling him Franz, has been online, and active, for 1.5 hrs now. I'll be sure to post any deveopments...

Just forget the whole loving thing. She over-plucks her eyebrows anyway, and looks like a real demanding princess.

Holy poo poo, a mystery in Connecticut?

This beats the hell out of that Murder on the Connecticut River or whatever it's called. NOT as good as The Woodchipper Murder, because... Well, do I need to really explain why? WOODCHIPPER. MURDER.


So hey, I'm a CT goon myself. The worst loving part is that girl looks so loving familiar to me. But then again, she DOES have that Typical Blonde Hoochie look. For all I know, she only looks familiar because she looks like Baby Spice. :/


I'm currently looking through MySpace, Ages 20-23, 50 mile radius of Fairfield, sorted by distance. I'm not checking any profiles without pictures, or profiles with pictures that aren't presumably of the person's face. Just skimming the search to see if any pics catch my eye.


Edit: I just found a "girl" who is using pictures of a porn star and claiming it's her. And of course, people falling for it.

Edit 2: Apparently just found Diva Search Ashley's (of WWE Raw fame) and John Cena (also of WWE Raw fame)'s profiles. Cena's froze my browser. The search is not going so well.

Haha, yeah she looks like any other girl going to a CT school. But I really think that the pic was taken in a Boston bar. Jake is from Hanover and Franz is from Walpole. It is my idea that the girl is a friend of Franz's from Walpole but that's just a guess. I am currently scouring his facebook profile for clues.

EDIT:

HOLY gently caress, POSSIBLY HUGE BREAKTHROUGH

I was looking in Franz's facebook and found this girl as a friend...she looks A LOT like the girl I think.

Do you guys agree? I am now researching this girl, this would tie it all together (though not explain the Betz factor).

However, she goes to ASU, so I cannot get her info. Any ASU goons who can help?

I don't think it's her. First off, the girl in the picture seems to have a narrower and more pointed nose as well as a thinner face. Secondly, this girl definitely seems to have a lower hair line and a smaller forehead. That one is easy to make out even given the small image and different perspective.

Also, in regards to the pic, remember the freshman fifteen! There could be a separation of years since it got taken and maybe she plumped up.

I've been scouring the internet for hours trying to figure this out, I'm off to bed. Keep the dream alive, fellow detectives.

We should also note the eye and hair color. While our main suspect has blue/hazel eyes, it looks as though the facebook girl has brown. Also I'd wager our Kate is a natural blonde and the latter is falling late on a bleaching. Though the deceiving nature of photographs could still leave this open for further discussion.

I know nothing of internet detective-ism, but I can get the alternative spirituality club here at my college to start a meditation circle or whatever the gently caress they do.

I hosed around with the meandbrent image and that is definitely a Parrish jersey - possibly at Applebee's. The picture above them makes me think that. I'm sure the name of the establishment is at the top of the wait list on the podium, but I'm not that good at loving with images.

As far as the images having odd names, they could be taken from different cameras. The one girl takes the picture and names it "kate" whatever, the blonde takes the picture and names it "me" and whatever.

The trap here is in thinking you're special to the girl. If she asked you to come "snuggle" with her, she'll ask any guy she's similarly attracted to, and that includes if shes going out with you already. If she'd gently caress you easilly, you'd gently caress anyone as attractive easilly. A lot of people are like that, sluts. Picky sluts, maybe, but still sluts.

KSwizzle hasn't been on since yesterday evening. As we have already come to the conclusion that she/he is most certainly a college student on the east coast, they will most likely be recovering from their hangover until noon-ish. It is a little past 8 am right now. However, until the dialogue gets rolling again, here is something to chew on...interesting if nothing else...

Jake's suspected accomplice and possible executor of this scheme, Franz's current away message:

This is how the Betz factor speaks to me:

quote:

Pitbull: Hey Ryan, you know this chick? She just IMed me out of nowhere today

Ryan: No, never seen her in my life

Ryan thinking: Haha, you sucker, I PWNED you. Now to get some sweet manlove from Jake.

Well maybe it didn't go down quite like that, but this is my thinking: "Ryan" is the most likely suspect because the person, whoever it is, wanted you to go to him to ask him about this girl. Probably to confirm if you've been hooked. If he didn't do it himself, my money is on the fact that he's in on it.
