"The answer is going to come from a non-cryptological source," Olson said. McCormick's decomposing body was found on June 30, 1999, in a cornfield near West Alton, Mo., by county sheriff's officers. He had last been seen five days before his body was found and he had never been reported missing. Since the FBI first made its plea for help last week, more than 1,000 tips have come in
-- so many by mail and phone that the FBI established a Web page at
http://forms.fbi.gov/code/ to help handle the flood. But nothing so far has given agents the breakthrough they need to figure out what McCormick was writing. There is the possibility that no one will ever be able to break McCormick's code. The FBI is still working on breaking the code created by the Zodiac killer, a serial killer who operated in California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. "We are really good at what we do, but we could use some help with this one," Olson said.
