Martin Hash is the Jigsaw Killer

[heydaralon]

Like everyone else, I was enamored by the Saw films. The cinematography, phenomenal acting, and original premise with little to no repetitive brand recognition sucked me in like every single other discerning film viewer. Each of the 19 films in the Saw franchise stands tall on its own right, and explores complex themes of morality, redemption, and power tool innovation. There is something so well-made about all those movies, and I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a film that doesn't use cheap gore gimmicks to put people in seats. But each time I watched a Saw movie, I had an unpleasant feeling in my stomach. It wasn't because of the all-too-plausible scenarios, it was something else.
I couldn't see it at the time, because I was always masturbating during the gruesome gore scenes, but I've given that up, and with a new mental clarity have begun to examine them as the philosophical queries that they are. The Jigsaw killer is remorseless in his cruel game, and he reminded me of someone, someone we all like. I was in denial about this for years, but I have come to realize that Martin Hash is the Jigsaw killer. A real life monster in our midst. A forum fiend if you will.

Overwhelming Evidence:

The evidence for Martin Hash being the Jigsaw killer could crash a google server, and make the Library of Congress seem like a photo caption for a Buzzfeed list.

First of all, Jigsaw is a media hound. He is a man of ideas, and he records sermons his victims must play before they run through a gauntlet of torture and humiliation. Without the victims understanding why they were chosen would empty Jigsaw's crimes of of meaning.

Martin is a man of ideas if nothing else. His numerous podcasts, political aspirations, and thoughtful posts demonstrate as much. He has stopped at nothing to spread these ideas, and like Jigsaw, created villains to expose and punish. Jigsaw's villains are usually people who go against the unspoken code of Jigsaw morality or Jigsawality (Correlasawn does not equal Sawsation). Their actions have resulted in death, and financial or emotional loss of others, and are usually the result of selfishness. Martin's villains are generally religious charlatans, self important politicians, or the American aristocracy. Like Jigsaw, Martin inveighs against these injustices, and attempted to run for office to fix them. When that didn't work, Martin's mind went into a dark place, and he has hinted as much. Would Martin's goal for fame over all else compel him to toy with the lives of innocent people? Would he resort to torture and murder to become infamous? Read further before you jump to conclusions. I have tried to present only the facts.

In order to create cunning traps that turn the offense against the offender, a keen understanding of psychology is crucial. Martin has this in abundance, and has written numerous posts on psychological flaws inherent in every person. He praises Machiavelli, who he described as being the best thinker of all time. The rapper Tupac's middle name is Machiavelli, and his lyrics praise thuggish behavior and violence against women. Since Jigsaw acts in this very way, we already have some quite damning evidence against Martin. This alone might be enough to take him to trial, but I have plenty more. It is saddening that Martin chose to follow a poor role model for African Americans like Tupac, when many positive figures like George Washington Carver who invented countless uses for peanut butter or Ben Carson who performed gall bladder surgery on twins and ran for Senate exist in the black community today.

Jigsaw is well traveled. There is plenty of evidence for this in the cast and crew of the original film. James Wan is from Japan or Sri Lanka as evidenced by his last name, and Cary Elwes, the main character of Saw (2004) is from Australia. We know for a fact that Martin has visited both continents, and probably recruited both men to re-create his bloody crimes on film. Since there is no reason to believe that the Saw movies are anything but documentaries, we have already placed Martin at the scene of the crime which surely happened.

There are additional troubling Hollywood connections. Martin has written a script and done animation for a few films. He has ties to the movie industry so it is not a stretch to say that he murdered countless people, drove the short distance from Vancouver Washington to Los Angeles in an afternoon, confessed to Lionsgate film executives, and used this very confession as a pitch for a series of low budget horror movies which would exceed even the wildest expectations of demanding movie critics (Perhaps the greatest crime at all is that Saw VII did not win academy award for best adapted screenplay).

Now that we have established opportunity, its time to move onto means. The Jigsaw traps (or Japs) are unuusally sophisticated. These traps were meticulously planned and would need a vast knowledge of engineering to work. Martin has an associate's degree in engineering and would have plenty of time to use his college library to research the mechanical features of each device. (Here we see a very interesting connection again to George Washington Carver, the Carver code, or the Carver Connection. Carver designed many legume uses, and like Jigsaw Martin, he was an amazing inventor. It is quite possible that Carver might have been a nineteenth century Jigsaw killer due to his ingenious mind, assuming his victims had a peanut allergy. They would never have known what hit them. My girlfriend is allergic to peanuts but we have had lengthy conversations about the racial barriers Carver broke, and the ability to appreciate something without being able to enjoy it personally. Since the month of February is rapidly approaching, it may be time to have another such conversation with her about the "Black Leonardo"). Since the human body has many pressure points, nerve endings, and sensitive organs, Jigsaw would have to study anatomy. A background in the medical field would give him this very opportunity. Not so coincidentally, Martin also has a degree in medicine. He is an MD in fact. Since inflicting bodily harm opens you up to both criminal and civil penalties, Jigsaw would need a law license to evade legal recourse if any of his victims decided to sue. Guess who is also a lawyer? Expertise in these fields would make Jigsaw a "Renassiance Myn." Martin's symbol for this is a creepy take on the Da Vinci sketch which features a spread out man who appears tied to a wheel. These bindings would give Martin all the time he needed to probe and prod the victims body, mercilessly violating them with sharp and blunt objects, revelling in their terror and control he has over their fate. I'll say no more. The evidence is doing all the talking for me.

Money is also a form of means. Traps are expensive, and it is quite costly renting out large warehouses which feature dimming lights, complex bicycle puppets, tape recorders and speakers, and all the pulleys and levers required to make an automated murder castle. Martin has boasted about his wealth before, but it is unclear what he spends his money on. Does he have something to hide? Time and time again, Martin has refused to release his tax returns to the forum. I would be especially interested in his knack for writing off these terrifying traps as business expenses. We cannot conduct a full investigation until Martin cooperates, yet he has stubbornly avoided answering simple questions such as his mother's maiden name, his first school, the make and model of his car, which city he was born in, or the name of his pet. Even volunteering his social security number or ATM pin code would do wonders towards allowing the board to do an innocuous search to clear his name. An innocent man would most likely consent to such a search.

Perhaps the sturdiest nail in Jigsaw Martin's coffin is the name/syllable clue. Serial killers are clever and devious, but they often make simple mistakes, and the names they pick are usually the biggest clue of all. For instance, the aliases and epithets of killers generally provide the link to their real names. Arthur Leigh Allen was the Zodiac Killer. Notice the syllable code: 5 syllables for "Arthur Leigh Allen" and five syllables for "Zodiac Killer." Ted Bundy chose the false name of Tom Hagan when he was on the run from law enforcement. 3 syllables for "Ted Bundy" and 3 for "Tom Hagan." Dennis Rader was BTK or Bind Torture Kill. 4 sylllables for "Dennis Rader" and 4 for "Bind, Torture, Kill." This is where Martin gives himself away. The actor who plays Jigsaw is named Tobin Bell. "Tobin Bell" has 3 syllables as does "Martin Hash." A further break down can be seen with 2 syllables for the first name and 1 syllable for the surname. Consider this: "Saw" has 1 syllable, and so does "Hash." Even if we use the full "Jigsaw Killer" title we notice 4 syllables, which is a mere 1 syllable away from the 3 syllable "Martin Hash." In statistics, this is what is known as a slam dunk. Tobin Bell was chosen to play Jigsaw Hash for this reason, and due to his eery resemblance to Martin in appearance and demeanor. Incidentally, he was born in Queens New York, a state Martin has admitted to visiting on at least one occasion. I would imagine Martin is beginning to sweat, because he is beginning to understand that he is backed into a corner and the cold light of justice has illuminated his many crimes.

When I started this investigation, I realized that to outsmart a killer, I'd have to think like a killer. What would a killer do? Use the internet most likely, assuming the killer lives in the 21st century and a firstworld country with the requisitie infrastructure for browsing. That's when I discovered Martin's website. I realized that Martin may be using an ip address. For those not familiar with CSI technology, an ip address is a unique string of numbers that is impossible to hide. Think of it like a fingerprint for a computer. Even if you physically move your computer to a different location and plug it into a new network, the ip address will remain the same, only the numbers would change. Criminals use gloves to hide their fingerprints, but you can't put a glove on a computer because latex does not conduct electricity and thus would make plugging it in impossible. Since Facebook used a hudsucker or proxy to mask their own ip address I was unable to glean any pertinent metadata from Martin's social media site. The police won't have any such problem when Jigsaw becomes a household name and Martin is brought before a judge.

We missed an important opportunity at Martin's Christmas party. This was our window to grab evidence and get DNA samples at his house. Stool samples and urine samples would have been easy to obtain and cross reference with the Jigsaw murders, assuming that the film crew left the set up after they filmed. Tobin Bell was all over the set, and there is no way he didn't drop a hair or molecule of saliva while he was being filmed. He would have also used the bathroom in his trailer, which may yield some promising DNA comparisons, once real bodies are discovered.

This case might have grown cold, but I have a fire in my belly. I have put all the pieces together and the only missing one is a Martin shaped one in this twisted Jigsaw puzzle. He had the means, motive, and opportunity, and has stated he is a self-diagnosed sociopath. He thinks he has outsmarted all of us, when in reality the trail of breadcrumbs leads right to his own home. Uses the resources we have put together, we will discover Martin's past, and hopefully improve the future of his victims families.

when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

I think you're onto something Daralon, don't let them shut down your investigation no matter how many times the doctor says ''you're nuts''.

Week 1 update: Martin has still decided to be very secretive about his financial info. Its getting creepy. Martin, you either know your ATM pin code or you don't. If you don't, you can go to the bank and get a new one and then allow our team of investigators to examine your accounts for any irregularities. Wouldn't you rather your friends on MHF clear your name than the cops? I know I would. That may just be because I am innocent and have nothing to hide...
