Eerie find...........

While perusing through Fawley's public photo album on photobucket.com, I found something eerie on a screenshot of his computer's desktop.... His AOL instant messenger buddy list isn't minimized, and you can see Taylor's screen name "lostinessence" online, and under its own category on his list, "Special". She must have been on a mobile phone though, considering there is a little blue phone beside her screen name, which is online at the time he captured the screenshot....

If you look really close, you will see it in the top right corner.

Weeeeird.....

The picture is too small for me to see it do you have a direct link to the photobucket album you are viewing it from?

I agree, that is kind of spooky.

You should really consider tipping off Richmond police or FBI about this. If it's not pertinate to the investigation, no harm done.

Wow...I had never noticed that before. He had first started harassing Erin using that aol alias. I saved the picture and tried to zoom in and could barely make out lostinessnce on his list. What other names can you make out? Just curious..thanks!

Off topic, but my dd loves MCR too ..lol

very interesting stuff. I noticed the background on his wallpaper was titled "Ghost in the shell 2 by skulz" and did a search on it. I just found this page, but haven't had time to look into it. Looks like he has a skulz55 geocities page too...hmmm...

http://www.geocities.com/skulz55/geek.html

I can't read the text in the picture either- odd, since I have a graphix monitor... anyway, above her name - I can sort of tell where it is- there is the category that he put her name in... my kids have aim and they put thier buddies into categories- ie; guys, girls, church friends, sports people, etc.... - it looks like he has her in a category. Can anyone tell me what that says?

[nibblet]

Can you see the numbers next to Special - does it say (1/1) so that Taylor was the only special one in that group of buddies??

I agree with RugerDog - it is so little to see but is important.

Can anyone see a date? I see a time but with my bad eyes it looks like 7:xx AM. Anyone see it better??

I tried a few ways to enlarge but it becomes very blurry.

Incredible find!!!

It's really not hard at all to get free versions of PhotoShop. I had PhotoShop CS for free, but I prefer to stick to 7.0...

...Maybe he has WinMx, BearShare or something like that which he downloaded it off of.

from what I can tell:

folder 1: RugRats (0/3)
folder 2: Special (1/1) lostinessence
folder 3: ? ? (0/2)
folder 4: ? gal (1/?) am.ac..loser
folder 5: gays or guys (0/7?)
folder 6: Skulz (2/21) skulznowhere, DarkEvilGothBoy
folder 7: cheap sluts (0/?)
folder 8: Offline (36/40)


the time is either 1:02am or 7:02am

I'm just using regular Kodak imaging to look at the photo... maybe someone out there has better software that can determine a bit more than I can

To me...... it looks as if some of the catagories read as:

special
girls
other gal
guys
skulz
cheap_sluts

this is a link to a quick enlarge job i did on it. if you click on the photo after the page loads it should get larger for you to see it a bit better.

Click here for Enlarged B-List

if that doesn't work - try....

Yes it's possible to download it off of programs like BearShare if it's saved to a ZIP file. My friend gave me hers that she didn't use though. So maybe his was given to him? [Highly doubt it, but I guess it could be a possibility?] And BearShare is still open, probably not for long though.

Here's something else you guys may find disturbing that I found.

Check out the background image on the computer monitor circled in yellow in this picture from Ben's room:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...2skulz_web.jpg

Now, here's a picture of Taylor that Ben took that he thought he deleted off deviantArt:


http://fs6.deviantart.com/i/2005/106...e_by_skulz.jpg

Whoops I sent that last post without adding this....

Someone asked about the time/date of things. Well according to the EXIF Data of his pic:

File date: 2005:04:09 05:16:29
Date/Time: 2005:04:09 07:04:50

The "file date" is when it was uploaded to photobucket. Note that this time is two behind Eastern time. I check already with a file I just uploaded to make sure.

The "Date/Time" comes from the device which took the pictures. On my digital camera I can set it for whenever I want. It could read 2003:01:16 for all I care.

So from how it looks the photo of his desktop is from Saturday, April 9, 2005. And the time was 7:04AM

If you look at the link below you'll see that his desktop clock was set for 7:02 AM.

Bottom Corner of Desktop

Okay I need to get some sleep. If there are any probs with the links/photos from my last two posts - let me know.

The photo bucket image wont load for me..

I was able to enhance the buddy list enough that I figured out the screen name under "Other Gal"....amiableloser, belonging to a girl named Rebecca (who goes by Becca) from Richmond, VA.

I opened up her AIM profile (she's currently signed on) and found a photo album and a link to catch27.com. The Webshots photo album had nothing of interest in it, and non of her friends had anything either....BUT her catch27 profile revealed a couple things of interest. 1) That she is 19....and 2) her fantasy makeout is non other than Johnny Depp. Interesting how the 2 girls signed on AIM on Ben's buddy list both have a thing for Depp. Anyone else seeing a pattern? I'm starting to see one.

Her whole catch27 profile can be viewed here:

Yes it's completely possible to download Photoshop (any version) and find a crack over the internet to use it without paying for it. I have a friend who's done it.

What you are saying is Ben probably just stole Photoshop, right?

Well, if that is the case, I hope Adobe or the FBI (since they are part of this task force) is waiting in the wings to get to the bottom of it! I hope Ben is completely sifted.

And now possibly using pirated or illegally obtained software in his unlicensed photography business. HUMMMM. If it ends up he did download Photoshop CS from a file sharing service. Not only will he be in trouble but whomever he got it from!

Amen! And he should also have to repay Social Security (read taxpayers) for all the funds he got. He's so disabled....RIIIIIIGHT!

oh wow! you examined him and discovered that eh? Please let us know what else you discovered seeing as how you are in such close contact with him.....

noone knows who is disabled or not but the person, and their doctors,etc..

Oh Miken .... that is good. What a very interesting view into this person. Can you see the danger in posting such a detailed amount of information about yourself? Perhaps there are people who shop the internet for hours and days on end searching for this stuff. I am sure that when this girl met Benny-boy or chatted with him on-line he was everything she ever wanted.

Of course now that I read all there is to know about what she wants from a man ..... it would not be hard to fool her for a few weeks/months.

Word to the wise ...... meet people the old fashion way and get to know them over time, otherwise you may find a crafty, manipulative, pedofile who is highly prepared to play with and fool your youthful insecurities all the way to your death.

Good work Miken! Thank you.

I remember reading something on one of BF's sites (OCD behavior IMO to have so many screennames and multiple sites) about downloading MP3s for free, having xxxxthousand, it was like 10 or 7k? And he was willing to share them w/ all his friends for free.

Considering each download is punishable for up to 120k, he'd be in a boatload of trouble for that alone.

And yes, there are many sites where one could find software for free, or illegally use someone else's if they had the right info.

Here is the blog- http://downloading-p2p.blogspot.com/

[poplife]

One more thing that makes me wonder about the porn- " I have my files on my PC, anyone of my friends can just come over, I give them the password and they are on my network with access to all 8000 of my MP3 files and my 200+ avi files. So they can at any time copy them to their laptop and the MPAA and the RIAA can’t do anything to stop that."

Wonder a) if he was sharing his porn w/ other pedos b) if there is any possibility that it wasn't his, but I know that examination of his hard drive will show when each file was accessed, just wish they'd share that info w/ us! c) who had this password and do they know anything that can help the case that they may have come across on his machine?

Quote is from above link.

Rugerdog said the tip line should be called about this.... Does anyone else think someone, if not I myself, should at least tell the Richmond police of her screen name on his buddy list under "special", or the fact she was his desktop background as miken1 found.... he sounds like obsessed or stalker-ish. The details seem insignificant to helping the case but maybe they would catch BF in a lie and have these findings to back it up (ie: "I never had much contact with her", etc). What does everyone else think? Too insignificant or vague to report?

Maybe someone can explain it better to me..

From wht I understand.. they had a relationship at some point.. at some point he took a screen shot that included his MSN and she was listed.. well if they posted on each others blogs, talked online and were in a sexual relationship(no matter how brief it was) i don't see why this means anything? maybe im missing something...

But theres nothing too little to report of you think you should. The police are going to determine its relevance or not, but if someone feels they should report.. they definately should!

I think you should do whatever you feel. If you let LE know you are a CTV member, who posts on their MB's, they will understand your interest and concern.

If LE can use the info, and it assists them in this case, they will appreciate it, as will Taylor's family. If not, no harm will have been done.

IMO

Trust me, someone has been through ALL the computers, ALL the pictures, including making them bigger to read things and/or finding time/dates on them.

What I want to know is how someone like Ben Fawley could afford Photoshop CS and the like. He supposedly lived on disability right? Claimed he had no money for an attorney.

Yet he has all of this expensive software. Did he get the student versions? I hope the police are looking at his finances. Maybe when someone mentioned a bank safety deposit box for where that camera might be, might be more on target than I originally thought possible.

I have just begun to explore Photoshop CS. Finally got Monaco to help me get everything "thinking on the same page" as far as color management and my hubby rebuilt my computer with a scratch hard drive. I know those software purchases and hardware items are not cheap! When Ben said he was working in Photoshop, I figured it was 5 or 7, not CS! I don't know why but that really irritates me.

A few weeks ago I was not sure how I felt about Ben Fawley. Now with every passing day I grow to detest him more and more. His claims seem so far afield of the truth, imo.

The AOL stuff is completely foreign to me. Would someone explain it to me. Does the screen shot show Taylor was on the line with Ben at some time? I there a way to identify the time and date of the screen shot?

Thanks.

Dissability can pay quite well. He may also have been recieving cash/food stamps from Welfare.

I knew someone on dissability and he got around $1000 a month + food stamps and free medical.

Hi,

If you ever want to report your find, you can submit a tip directly to the FBI via the internet:

money huh... i bet you ANYTHING he gets girls to buy him stuff... it seems like a lot of younger girls are all obsessed with him (check out all those livejournals) and give him money or buy him stuff all the time. i bet hes all "oohhh im a starving artist, i cant work because im just soooo dedicated to my art blah blah blah". there are soooo many people like that, i bet hes totally one of them.

Thanks SpikeyMikey - if the screen shot was made on April 9, this is in the timeframe they had their "encounter" - so he made her the one and only "SPECIAL" on his buddy list.

Wonder who had the honor of being under cheap_sluts....

Oh you are very welcome Nibblet. I tend to ramble sometimes when I get something on my mind like this case so some of my posts can be a bit long haha. Either way I'm glad you found something I wrote interesting. :-)

I totally agree - I wonder who was under his "cheap sluts" folder.

The person that is of real interest to me on his list is "Becca" - a girl that Miken1 found some info on.

BF had Becca listed under "Other Gal" which was directly below "Special" which we all know Taylor was in. I wonder what contact, if any, she has had with him.

There are so many dif names its tough to keep up sometimes.

cheap_sluts could have just been a nickname.. *shrugs* but it is curious..

I have a few folders on my trillian.. "fu******ers"(for my hometown friends) and one that is now entitled "mmmmoiven hhhhhhoiven go africa!" for my travelling group but used to be called "mass suicide" from an inside joke we all shared.. im sure someone coming across that without knowing us would have been totally weirded out, or creeped..

Damn, MCRrocksmysocks! I HATE that creepy photo! Had to go look it up. The image is from the movie (based on an anime or manga comic) "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence". The image and its title become even creepier when you read the storyline: "Tagline: When machines learn to feel, who decides what is human...Plot Outline: In the year 2032, Batô, a cyborg detective for the anti-terrorist unit Public Security Section 9, investigates the case of a female robot--one created solely for sexual pleasure--who slaughtered her owner. Plot Synopsis: Batô is a living cyborg. His whole body, even his arms and legs, are entirely man-made. What only remains are traces of his brain and the memories of a woman. In an era when the boundary between humans and machines has become infinitely vague, Humans have forgotten that they are humans. This is the debauchery of the lonesome ghost of a man, who nevertheless seeks to retain humanity. Innocence... Is what life is." That last line is stunning: you or I read "innocence" and see Taylor; but it is likely that Fawley saw himself as "innocence"...and certainly failed to see the stark and horrible truth of this: "This is the debauchery of the lonesome ghost of a man".
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...n=130&v=glance

[nibblet]

Placing Taylor's lostinessence name under Special keeps me thinking.

The screen shot supposedly was taken the morning of April 9. The post between BF and Taylor alluding to their intimate encounter apparently took place the night before:

2005-04-08 04:07
[Skulz67]...This very attractive girl climbed up into my bunk @ 407, the last girl to do so before the move.......

[tiabliaj] well I was curious

[Skulz67] ...so was I...fact I still am.... :-p


Using the name "Special" signifies to me, at least that BF had further interest in exploring something with Taylor. After all, he could have just as easily placed her name under the "cheap_sluts" category (shows you what he thinks of females) but he didn't.

What do you think??
