The FBI needs the help of the public to solve a murder. They have been working on the murder case for 12 years now, but they still haven't managed to decipher a secret code left by the killer on his victim. So they are now calling upon the public to decipher the code for them. Let's do this guys.

Depressingly the escapist is probably a more reliable source http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/108841-The-FBI-Needs-You-to-Solve-this-Code or the fbi itself http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/march/cryptanalysis_032911 This is actually for reals by the way, I suspect it is an elaborate hoax by the fbi to get new talent though.

You can see from the non-sequential "word" groupings and random number blocks that this is a Tri-phasic cypher code. So I ran this through a simple multi-linear tumbler at GCHQ, and it spat out a few possible answers:

I don't really care. He could just be off his fething nut and needed to slam some crazy letters on a piece of paper.

Are you sure about that? I put the code, and the corresponding alphanumerical figures into the HSVCO super transmodligraphiler we have in the storage closet, and I got something quite different. You should take a look at this, skully
