Help FBI solve a murder

I'm hopeless when it comes to cracking codes, but there are a surprising number of people who have an almost uncanny talent for this kind of thing and I suspect one or two of my regular readers may be amongst them.

A 12-year murder investigation in which the vital clue is a scribbled code has the USA's code-breakers baffled. Now the FBI is asking the public to help decipher a cryptic message found on the body of a murdered man.

If you'd like to get involved you can do so via http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/march/cryptanalysis_032911

where you can click on "Help solve an open murder case Part 2" for full details.

Good luck and who knows, as an "expert witness", you may get an all expenses trip to FBI HQ!
