Did the tape actually stop playing?

Did something go wrong with the speakers?

Yes.

No.

Are we trying to figure out who person1 and person2 are?
Can we have a summery of what we have so far?

wow, looks like people gave up. c'mon, let's figure this out! I just read the whole thing for some reason so I need some closure.

so the main thing seems to be why the tape stopped, though I don't remember reading anything about exactly how he killed the guy either, if that means anything. Also the tape machine malfunction was caused by something person 1 did indirectly.

Is the way person 2 was killed relevant?

Did the tape player stop working because of the way person 2 was killed?

Will the conclusion of this investigation shock and disturb us?

Like, could the answer be considered "twisted" and gross?

I'm only coming up with some pretty twisted endings... but I only got 3 hours of sleep last night... on the floor.. So it's unavoidable

EDIT: clarified a question

No

No

No (I combined the last two questons, since the last was pretty much a clarification of the other)

Was the tape still usable after the incident?

_________________

after looking over it again real quick...

-Was he being chased by police already when he ran off the cliff?
-Were they the only two people at the station at the time?

Man... so it has something to do with why the machine stopped working, and that happened because of something person 1 did on accident, but (according to an answer way back there) he knew the station might go dead. "Something bad happened to the station" and it was destroyed in a non-literal sense.

-Are those old answers referring only to person 2's murder?

Hmm...

-Are they the only two people who usually work there?
-Is it a computer-based pirate radio station with a cassette line-in?
-Did the signal stop because he forgot that the computer would go on suspend?

Reaching here...

No

Yes

Not sure what you meant by this one

Irrelevant

What? Pirates? It was a regular radio station... he put a cassette in a cassette tape player when he left.

Nope. No signal involved.

Could the tape player be used after the incident, without being repaired?

No.

Could you tell by looking at the player what was wrong with it?

No.

Did the tape get "eaten" by the player somehow?
Was the player damaged in a struggle to kill Person 2?
Was the TAPE damaged in a struggle to kill Person 2?
Is someone going to get the movie rights to this story?
Can we expect it on the SciFi channel at some ungodly hour where only extreme geeks would be up and watching because they were just finishing up their geekfest of old cheesy 1950s B-list horror movies?
Or will this be more of a "direct to the $3.99 DVD bin at your local carwash" style film?
Will it star washed up old actors that no one really cared about to begin with like Steve Guttenberg?
Does the film project need a composer still?...because I'm open for work.

I can't remember if this was asked yet and don't feel like referring back, so sorry if it was.

Was the cassette player running on batteries?

Did the batteries die?

Were person 1 & 2 the same people.

No Though I can recap what we know about this part, and that';ll make it a bit easier.



No. I'm pretty sure he wasn't his own boss, and I'm rpetty sure he didn'tkill himself, then go and kill himself again

Ok, recap: We know the tape was fine, the tape wasn't damaged. The tape player itself was damaged somehow, and you could not see what caused the tape to stop just by looking at the player (Don't assume anything, though)

Remember, though, the fact that it's a tape, not a CD, is important. Otherwise I woiuld've said irrelevant when being asked if it was a tape or not.

Did the tape get to the end of the reel (or whatever)?

_________________

I'll need you to simplify the question or define "the" reel.

Had the tape not been recorded correctly? Did Person 1 accidentally stop recording his radio show on that tape when he was recording, causing the radio show on the tape to just suddenly "cut off"?

FOR PONY!!!

Nope and nope.

Rememebr, it's important that it's a tape.

Did the tape get to the point where it automatically stops? The point at which there is no more tape? I'm not sure how else to explain it. This is the end of side A, please flip over for side B type end of the tape. It stops because there is no more.

_________________

Do you mean the end of the side or the end of the whole tape?

Eh, I'll just answer both.

Tape? No.
Side? Yes.

Okay, what are we still trying to figure out now?

_________________

Hmm... the best way I can say this without giving too much away is that Person 1 expected the tape to flip itself.

Okay, so Person 1 thought that the cassette recorder would play Side A then switch to Side B, but realized it was not the case when it stopped. He then figured someone would go to see what was wrong and find the body, so he drove off of the cliff. Is that correct?

_________________

Yes, but there's more - why didn't it flip to side B?

Because there was nobody there to flip it? Doesn't it take someone physically taking the tape out of the drive and flipping it over? Or was it one of those new-fangled machines that was supposed to flip it on its own somehow?
