***SPOILERS THROUGHOUT***
*At this point, Box/Episode 5 was my favorite box!*
LFoA Letter: This letter was seemingly a minefield of bad grammar. But a closer inspection reveals a code of sorts. Uppercase letters become very apparent. What does this all mean? Well, I could never do the working theory justice. But here is a link to Will Rogers' aka "The Haunted Sponge" who has a really great video explanation of what it could possibly be, that I totally agree with. Mainly, because I have no solid answer for myself. Letter/Constellation Theory
JWJ Letter: He mentions a two-way correspondence with a woman. And he says that he "admired her all the way to the end of our arrangement." Is this in reference to the mysterious "Heather" who wrote him the letters on silly, bordered paper and mentioned in the case file from box/episode 2? How did their arrangement end? Is she still alive?
Heather Letter #2: Heather says she will be sending a mixtape. And she discusses an "Allan" who seems to have broken her heart. And while his parents are out of town she "will set him straight." This may tie in to the Highland Village article of a young man found while his parents are away in Dallas. Then to close out the letter she discusses loving the sound of water. *Are we getting a cassette tape at some point? And what does Heather have to do with any of this?*
McGowan Death Article: McGowan is found dead in his home at the age of 76. The writer of the article may have rounded up, because his DOB July 17, 1941-July 17, 2017 would put him at age 76. So, he would be age 75. But depending on when the in-game universe started the time frame; i.e, depending on when each individual hunter starts do certain dates hold significance? Or are some clues from a future date even if in the real world we aren't there yet? Hopefully that made sense.

"Corkboard" Murders:
There are 4 tacked up news clippings about bodies found, stretching from Texas to Maryland. Map of "Corkboard" body locations The Susquehanna River ends on the sound end at the Concord Point Lighthouse. So the body found in the Sus. River may be very important. The title of the article is the only thing shown, so maybe whatever was in the corresponding article might have given us too much insight. But my theory is that the woman found, at the Sus. River/Lighthouse is our mysterious Heather. Her death would end the arrangement between her and JWJ. But who was Heather? Was the trail of bodies her work? Why are the bodies punctured in the liver? Allan, in my working theory, is the Highland Village, TX body. His tongue was torn out and his liver punctured. Was his tongue ripped out because he "lied" to Heather about his feelings for her? Or does it hold another significance?
My Extra Thoughts: By this box/episode, I was totally wrapped up in the story. This is my favorite box, solely because of the "Corkboard" murders and Concord Lighthouse giving us physical locations. Until we receive an answer about what all this means for the overall story, everything is just a theory. Our theories are basically a Schrodinger Cat-type situation. Until we receive the answers, all our theories are valid and invalid at the same time. Box/Episode 6 may help shape your and my theories even more!
