Case information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Park_parade_shooting
Robert Eugene Crimo III perpetrated a mass shooting event on July 4th, 2022 in Highland Park, Illinois. He is an aspiring rapper who posted music videos and violent content on social media.
He allegedly published an encrypted manifesto on Amazon. According to this site:
"Arcturus, or more formally known as 'Project Arcturus' is an archaic manifesto/book conceived by Robert Crimo (Awake). It was published on the 19th of February in the year 2021. It is 28 pages long and is composed entirely of an undeciphered sequence of numbers. There is a coinciding video to Arcturus on YouTube, which is composed of footage from the music videos to On My Mind, out.of.this.world, and Toy Soldier. The numbers 23, 47, and 115 seem to be of significance in decoding Arcturus, however, Arcturus remains an unsolved mystery."
Some people reported that the book's description on Amazon contained Morse code translating to "Hello Friend", which was the name of one of his music videos. In the video, a small building is shown while the camera pans slowly back while haunting music is played. Crimo's symbol appears to be mounted at the top right corner of the building. The scene then switches to a car with the number "47" painted on its side and a red zig zag pattern painted on the front. The haunting music is from the game Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, a piece titled "Comrade" by Jack Wall. (2:08 in this video)

Transcriptions
Unigrams
- The cipher seems to have a bias against 9s (i.e., there are far fewer 9s than other digits).
- There is evidence of multiple alphabets but with a wide span.
Ngrams
- The cipher has high ngram repeats for n=3 through n=7 when compared to random shuffles.
- The cipher has insignificant ngram repeats for n=2 when compared to random shuffles.
- The cipher has a very strong bias towards sequences of successive digits (23, 34, 45, 98, 87, etc).
- The cipher has a strong bias against sequences of doubles (22, 33, 44, etc).
Cycles
- The cipher appears to demonstrate some cycling behavior.
