Ricky McCormick and the Encrypted Notes

Ricky McCormick lived in Missouri until his death in 1999.  He was found dead and very decomposed in a corn field only five days after going missing.  He was a high school drop out and it was said by his family that he could only write his name.

He had been seen getting a check up in hospital on the 25th of June, he had heart and lung problems.  He was then found in an advanced state of decomposition by a woman driving through a field which was 15 miles from his home.  He was identified by finger prints.

12 years later the authorities announced that he had actually been found with two notes in his pockets written in some kind of code.  His family didn't even know about this finding until it was on the news.  They said there was no way he would be able to write such a thing.  The FBI have been appealing for help in cracking the codes, believing it may lead to his killer, but as yet there have been no breakthroughs despite all the interest in the case.  It is being listed as a mystery along with the likes of Tamam Shud.
