This is an index of all the puzzles that have taken place in the LG15: Anchor Cove web series.

Whatever Happened To lonelygirl15?

Several puzzle pieces were included in the annotations for the video "Whatever Happened To lonelygirl15?".

The URLs for all pieces spell out the phrase "What ever happened to that girl? Yeah, THAT girl."

Wrist.jpg

(Source, LGPedia Mirror)

Wrist.jpg is what appears to be a scan of a redacted medical report for an unknown male subject. The report notes that the subject had been refusing to eat and has been force-fed several times. The subject had recently attempted to slit his wrists with a filed plastic spoon, and was in recovery.

Redactions:

  • The upper redaction is the date of the report, December 21, 2010, able to be seen after altering the contrast on the image.
  • The second redaction is the number of the subject referred to in the report. The number ends with an 8.

When changing the levels in Photoshop, a Watcher symbol is visible in the top left corner, possibly a watermark on the paper.

OnTheMove.wav

(Source)

OnTheMove.wav is a sound recording of a voicemail Daniel leaves for Emma.

Daniel said:
(Sounds of driving in the background. A horn beeps.)
Hey, Emma, um... I'm on my way to catch a train to Santa Monica. Uh, ju-just a heads up, Mom #3 has to change her interview date. (A horn beeps.) I guess uh, she's having trouble getting her baby's birth certificate. Uh, looks like hospital records were tampered with...again. Big surprise, I know. Police reports too. Um, but she says her daughter was taken out of the hospital in 2012. (Sighs) I guess it started up again that year. Anyway, um, I'll talk to you later and - Oh! Could you please stop sending me those Hodor gifs? Like, I get it. I spoiled it for you but... whatever, sorry. Alright. (Sounds of chatter in the background)

Boss.jpg

(Source, LGPedia Mirror)

Boss.jpg is what appears to be a scan of a redacted chain of emails between a Verdus Pharmaceuticals employee and an elder, as well as a redacted search warrant. Several scrambled elements have been inserted into the scan, including a section reading "the first taste is free".

I can't get away from lonelygirl15

A puzzle piece was included in the annotations of the video "I can't get away from lonelygirl15". It eventually lead to a live event in Burbank, California on August 6, 2016 at 3:00 PM local time.

AreYouWillingTo.wav

(Source)

AreYouWillingTo.wav is short recording featuring the song "Non-Stop" from the musical Hamilton. Half way through the recording, the sound cuts out before repeating. It was soon discovered that a file was embedded into the audio file. The file was password-protected with the password aaronburrsir (a reference to Hamilton).

Within the embedded file were two pictures, one titled "Here.png", which shows scrambled images of the Dark Delicacies book store in Burbank, California, and a second titled "BWAAAAAAAAM.png", which shows a screencap of Bree from What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?.

BWAAAAAAAAM.wav

(Source)

BWAAAAAAAAM.wav is a short recording of the shuddering bass sound effect found in many movie trailers. It was originally meant to be discovered either by viewing the folder directory that AreYouWillingTo.wav resided in, or by using the name from BWAAAAAAAAM.png, however M eventually updated the video annotations on "I can't get away from lonelygirl15" to point to it directly. (The annotation was removed after the file was discovered.)

The audio file, like AreYouWillingTo.wav, featured an embedded file that was password-protected with the password aaronburrsir. Within the file was a text document "Hmph.txt" containing the following message:

Hmph.txt said:
You've loved this girl for ten years and don't dig any deeper when you're looking right at her?

It's turtles the whole way down. You've still got work to do.

And download yourself some better tools, for pete's sake. You don't dig up bones with just your hands or just one shovel, do you?

-M

YouHaveYourOrders

"BWAAAAAAAAM.png" also had an embedded image inside of it, featuring a QR code pointing to YouHaveYourOrders.html, which featured a countdown timer and another audio file, NothingToSeeHere.wav, featuring music from the musical Hamilton (from "Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)"). The countdown timer counted down to August 6, 2016, 3:00:00 PM, PDT.

The title of the page, "I have the honor to be your obedient servant", is a reference to the song "Your Obedient Servant" from Hamilton.

Within the audio file "NothingToSeeHere.wav" there was another hidden file, password-protected with the password rochambeau. However, it appeared to be a bit of a red herring.

WellOkay.txt said:
This isn't where you use the codeword -- but since you're here, you're pretty much at the end of this rabbit hole for now, so take a seat.

There's no code, no riddle, no fancy little countdown (except the one I just, y'know, gave you). Not here.

I think you've gathered by now that I... don't really talk to people the way you would. You could say that was taken from me long ago. Many things were taken from me.

What you have to realize is that this battle began long before you were born, long before I was born, and it'll continue long after we're gone. There is no silver bullet, no video game weak point to find. If there was, I would've found it by now. Doing that is my career, in a manner of speaking.

We all have our motivations. You have Bree, I have my own. She seemed -- or seems, depending on your belief -- like a nice young woman. If you're looking for answers from me on her, I don't have them. Not yet.

And this is going to take time. A lot of time. It will come in fits and starts at first, but when it's all ready, I promise you, you'll be coming with me.

If you'll have me. I don't know if I've lost you already. I hope not.

When you've been doing this alone for longer than maybe a few of you have even been alive, you forget what it's like to have people around you.

I'll be around. When it's time, I'll come back. Will you?

Oh yeah, life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
