DEPAA and the story so far
Yesterday’s lecture was interesting - not least because our peaceful protest organisation DEPAA disrupted it with a protest against Prometha. Someone over on facebook has grabbed the leaflets they threw in to the crowd: I’l repost it here for your amusement.
I secured the interview with Woodburn, in the end. More on that soon: I need to go over the video and tidy it up.
Speaking of evidence: on the Police site the case number CLC0108-1314 worked, but required a second authentication layer- Nombre and ContraseƱa. The translation site that Sam sent tells me that means Name and Password. We have a name: Cesar Barrera - so I’ve been trying all kinds of combinations of that name and random passwords.
A better man than I - Mike Cox, in fact - just emailed to say he’s cracked it. The name is cbarrera and the password rafael. My hunch about that whispered conversation being significant was right, I just didn’t make the connection. Thanks Mike!
So now we have access to everything the police know. Time for a little light reading, I think.

I'm a freelance journalist from London, just starting out in the industry. I specialize in science and technology journalism.

Me and Sam were right behind you and Mike in solving the password mystery; Kept putting “Markus” and “Schoenberg” in the Name thing instead of cbarrera. It was clear that “rafael” would have something to do with it though.

I was doing that too - and then spent ages putting in barrera rather than cbarrera. D’oh! There are maps that look a little like hiking maps in one of the pictures of the crime scene - can you make out what they are? Might give us some clue as to Schoenberg’s movements in Peru.

Yes, am looking at the same photo - http://www.policias-distrito-calca.pe/cases/1314-foto6.jpg - but not having much luck beyond the obvious thing that they cover an area of Peru.
In that same photo his passport and wallet are there. IMHO, that makes robbery unlikely.
