Red gave the Sheriff a wooden disc with two circles of letters.
Use the rubbing the sheriff took off the disk (found on the page with Red’s interview) to translate the message.
You are going from the inner ring of letters to the outer ring of letters. The message will start with “The…”
“The Reverend was in a relationship with Pearlie”
You will need to have solved the message left by Red Buchanon and the fifth Butcher note to unlock this.
Be sure you use the spelling of the name given in the fifth Butcher note.

Use the image of the straight razor found by the podcasters to help determine how the value of each symbol is determined.
Count the number of intersections in each of the symbols on Note #1. Use this with the message you pulled from the text of the note.Read Peter James's interview.
Opening night was the night of the first murder. The drunk man was one of the suspects and was locked in the closet from around 9 until midnight. You should be able to eliminate a suspect with this information.
Message within text = “time of death”Puzzle = 1045(Use the time of death, the information provided by Peter Jameson, and the times and dates on “The Famous Palomino Players” poster to eliminate Garrett Wolf since we know he is an alcoholic based on his bio.)
You will see three sections at the bottom of the note.
Each section has groupings of letters in multiple shapes that will fit into the grid below. Arrange each group of letters so that they fit into the grid below.
Take all of the letters in the spaces marked with an X and use them to spell a needed word. Determine all three words and use it in connection with the message pulled from the above note. You can eliminate a suspect with this information.
Message within text: “I arrived one of these months”Puzzle solution: june july november(This eliminates Emmett Baker if you read his bio.)
This note mentions certain measurements.
Each hand contains 5 fingers.
Determine the proper measurement for a hand based on the information given. Use that to determine the heights of each horse. A hand is four inches. Read Jonas Cartwright’s interview and pay attention to the part about his son, Silas. Use the magnifier to examine the Wanted poster and determine how to use the information you’ve obtained about ‘hands high’ to eliminate a suspect.
Message contained in note: “give yourself a hand”Convert 5 fingers to 1 hand = 4 inchesDreamer = 18 hands high or 72 inches (6 feet tall)(This eliminates Rev. Earl Gates if you read his bio)
Uncover the hidden message just as you’ve done in the other notes.
The message provides the directions for what to do with the puzzle involving lengths of rope. Ten can refer to leaving the word ‘ten’ and not the number of ropes.
Read the message left behind once you’ve done what the message instructs. The message is backwards. You can eliminate a suspect with this information.
Message contained in note: “remove six ropes to make ten”Message revealed by rope puzzle: I use both hands both don’t have a gun.(This eliminates the gunslinger.)
The message you get from the extra letters is a clue on how to read the row of letters at the bottom of the note.
Pull a letter from the left side then the right, repeat this pattern as you work your way to the center. The message will start with “I did…”
Message contained in note: “From left and right to center”Message encoded by Red: “I did it all for pearl”
Once you’ve determined who The Black Rock Butcher is, find the drink that uses all the ingredients that correspond to the killer.
