BBC News viewers join the international search for Elisabeth Perl

BBC News pointed their international viewers to thewhiteisland.com on Saturday 30 August, directing them to "help solve the mystery of The White Island". The appeal aired on BBC1, BBC News, www.bbc.co.uk/click, and was broadcast internationally.

Servers for The White Island, the home website of investigators of the mystery, were overwhelmed briefly following the announcement.



Look for more information here.

The investigation continues.

Sarah Main hosted The White Island Takeover special Friday night on Flaunt TV (available in the UK, Europe and across Northwest Africa).

In the program, Sarah broadcast a new appeal for help finding Elisabeth:

No explanations have been given for the interruptions. The investigation continues.

New Orumax ad running on Sky Digital in the UK

Mixmag reconfirms Ibiza as a dance music essential

With Ibiza under threat, DJs getting tunes stolen, missing girls, and a constant battle between the government and the clubs, some days it seems hardly worth getting out of Stansted and heading for Ibiza. But Mixmag, timely as ever, have reconfirmed what we all knew - no Ibiza, no dance music, no club culture.

The White Island on Flaunt TV

Followers of The White Island have reported that UK digital channel, Flaunt TV, has been offering a substantial reward for information concerning the mystery of The White Island.

A VIP weekend in Ibiza for two is offered in this video:



Flaunt is a dance music video channel in the UK. Regular Flaunt viewers are also reporting seeing promos on-air for The White Island Takeover this Friday, 29 August, from 9PM to Midnight, hosted by Sarah Main.

Flaunt TV website

Internet investigators at UnForums have noticed two significant developments in The White Island.

First, a new area of the immersive cube at the centre of the mystery of The White Island appears to be a hotspot, but as yet isn't leading to anything. Speculation is that a new puzzle may be propogating on the site.

And second, a new "secret" area has appeared at the site of The Brotherhood of the Green Chrysanthemum. The area is behind a password protected screen, and as yet, no one has cracked this new code.

The investigation continues.

Mambo(2)

A new video featuring Christian, the manager of Cafe Mambo in Ibiza, has appeared on thewhiteisland.com. Christian talks about a book / log / folio found by his family when they set up Mambo in the 90s. Christian appears to present the book to the person holding the camera, and suggests they might help in figuring out what the book is for.

On the cover are the words "Esmeralda, 1938", as well as the symbol most associated with The White Island, and with the disappearance of Pete Tong's tracks.

Enter the Brotherhood

Yesterday players recieved an email correspondence from the Brotherhood of the Green Chrysanthemum. The email, in typically flowery language, announced that Elisabeth had returned to Ibiza and appeared to offer a clue connected to the Orumax.com website.

A new video of Elisabeth Perl has appeared at the website of Orumax Ltd.



In the video, Elisabeth appears to be promoting the cause of development on the island of Ibiza. This is very much in contrast with her earlier position, as stated on her blog.

Quote:

"Ibiza has been a destination of choice for millennia. From Phoenician traders to Roman Senators to Byzantine Kings, many have come to this paradise and all have left their mark. The Society for the Preservation of Ancient Ibiza is committed to cataloging the natural beauty and rich history of the island for the privileged few.

"But now, development of luxury houses and apartments, so long open to everyone, is now under threat, changing the face of Ibiza. And we have to ask ourselves this question now, before it is lost forever: is this what we want?"

An Orumax logo then appears. The message seems to be aimed at the clients of Orumax. Nothing further is known about the video, although there appears to be a still from the video location at Elisbeth's blog.

Welcome and new news

Welcome to the new meta-site for The White Island, and to a new blog. We're all dedicated to pursuing the mystery of The White Island, finding Elisabeth, and helping all those who are committed to this cause.

News: over the weekend, a new puzzle appeared at www.thewhiteisland.com. The puzzle lies just beyond the image of a square whole within the monolithic image cube. The puzzle:

Internet investigators at unForums.com quickly solved the puzzle, which led them to a new website associated with The White Island, www.orumax.com.

Orumax appears to be an international company "with expertise including real estate, political consultancy, tax and legal advice, private security, public relations and financial management."

On their website, there is a "client" area behind a login/password page. Even more intriguing, an image of Elisabeth Perl is on their website.

The investigation continues.
