Frog asked the questions an so I will answer. This is NOT a prank. The thing is that we believe the telephone number actually belongs to shane's parents. We know the number for several reasons. 1.) He was dating Dacia three years ago, until he got drunk and decided to punch her front teeth out. 2.) We found his number programmed on Dacia's cellphone. We called all the georgia numbers on the phone and met up with a friend of her's in Georgia who said that she had been talking to Shane again.
The reason the cops don't go after him is because "he has NOT committed a murder and therefore is NOT a high priority" The man's few charges are not enough for a manhunt. The cops are basically waiting until they find a body to actually start doing anything about it.
Our goal is to prevent there from ever being a body.
And yes, This FRIEND who's sister is Dacia is a decorated navy officer, I've know the guy for about a year. He is my supervisor at work. He asked me to do anything I could to help him find his sister without killing Shane, which he is more than willing to do at this point. I'm trying to do just that, and help get the word out.
As I stated before we believe the number is actually registered to his mother, he may not even be using it anymore. But the cops won't ask around because this is not a priority case. And the telephone companies won't tell us anything because we aren't cops with a warrant. I'm sure the police will be actively searching in another week or two but by then she might be dead, and right now their just sitting around waiting for information.
Basically is boils down to this.
1.) Dacia is missing.
2.) The police require a waiting period before they will take a missing person case of an adult seriously.
3.) Shane Cody is a low profile dealer, and as such, not considered to be worth scattering police officers out to track down.
4.) He is low profile across numerous state lines, and as such, police jurisdictions are passing them off on one another.
5.) We know the last emails Dacia was sending because we've been to her house and seen checked everything on her computer, which her brother, my friend, built for her about three months ago.
6.) We found her cellphone and Shane Cody's number was programmed into it. He was also camping up near here and when we tried to get Dacia out then the cops told us to mind our own business. My friend knows what he looks like, I don't, I've never met shane cody in my life.
7.) This is the first time in Dacia's life where neither her Mother, Brother, Grandmother, or Aunt knew where she was for more than a 24 hour period.
8.) All we're trying to do is get Shane to tell us where Dacia is, we don't give a damned what happens after that.
9.) We ASSUME that Shane's mother is hiding him, and we assume that even should the number be traced it would only lead to the mother's residence, where shane doesn't live. The main reason we started posting on the internet is to get the word out, kind of like a free amber alert.
10.) Dacia was a drug addict, which is how Shane was controlling her. It took a while but we finally convinced her to get it under control. She was on her way to the rehab clinic when she vanished. The main reason we think she's dead is because she was carrying a check from her mother and has never cashed it.
Now as to the other question. I'm a hobbyist. I mostly crack codes for fun, although I did give a few lectures at a local highschool on cryptography as used throughout history. The teacher was hoping to get the kids interested in history and a little espionage apparently does just that. My uncle works an a network programmer and security adviser for the military which is probably what first got me interested. I have never seen the Da Vinci Code, and I don't really care too.
All we want is Dacia before there is enough time for her to become a corpse after that, we don't care what happens to shane cody.
