i have to say if this is a real code, and the FBI seems to think it is, then this guy missed his calling because it seems no one can make heads or tails out of it.

They need to show it to this kid,

Jake, who has an IQ of 170, began solving 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzles at the age of 3, not long after he'd been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. A few years later, he taught himself calculus, algebra, and geometry in two weeks. By 8, he had left high school, and is currently taking college-level advanced astrophysics classes—while tutoring his older classmates. And he's being recruited for a paid researcher job by Indiana University.

I read the original article and I must say that the FBI really doesn't want our help. If they had, they would have provided a much better scan of the originals, plus they would have provided a transcript of what their experts had determined the alphanumerics were on the papers.

What they originally provided was really pathetic.

Context is important.
Here, there is nothing. A bio of the guy's life would help.
