An update and some thanks x
Posted in Uncategorized on 02/24/2009 03:31 pm by rachelThere’s been lots of action here and over on my Facebook , so time for a bit of a summarise-y update…
Kirsty Fish noticed that the number in Markus’ notebook (1789023) is the code for a DNA binding protein in E.coli:
“It prevents digestion by certain restriction enzymes, and appears to be involved in protein folding. I am trying to find out whether this has been linked to any diseases in humans, as perhaps this was the disease Markus was looking to do a trial on… All speculation at the moment. But please look at the ncbi entry and see if you can find anything I’ve missed!”
Kirsty also found out that Jim Malham works in security with some big biotech clients, and that he uploaded photos taken in Peru on 21st and 27th Jan. AND she found the Planta Dos Deuses website at http://www.plantadosdeuses.org. Excellent stuff - cheers Kirsty : )
Thomas K then posted the sources for this info:
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/jim/malham :
“Familiar with South American customs and culture. Clients include leading biotech firms.”
Also links to his photos website:
http://picasaweb.google.com/mylomalham
“Looks like he’s pretty committed to his photography.”
Matt’s summarised all the research into Jim Malham over on his Facebooktoo, followed by a *totally* Holmes-tastic bit of sleuthing from Sam Rocz: “Jim’s name on the picasweb site is Mylo Malham, which I searched for and found this; http://www.familymalham.co.uk the same Jim, perhaps?”
Things are moving! Please keep at it - I feel like we’re finally gaining momentum.
Big love and even bigger thanks to you all.
Help me find out what happened to my Uncle.

Rachel, I’m sure you’ve already spotted this, but Aalia’s Library books are apparently due back on the 1st of March (Sunday)–if you can work out which library it is, maybe it’s worth staking it out to see if she turns up?

Thanks Thomas : ), but I’m not sure about this one. You can renew books by phone, and I doubt returning library books will be top of her list at the moment.
