talkingship Mystery Update 2 – The Plot Thickens

Talkingship fan, Niyon, sent us this:

I read about the songs at the end being clues themselves, and I’m sure it’s been brought up before. It was Pastor Gumbo who took you.
 
Help and Gone Daddy Gone are the clues saying that you were taken… obviously. Gumbo Variations is the clue saying who had put forth the effort to kidnap you guys, Pastor Gumbo (who you guys read the letter of during the Message in a Bottle segment.)
 
The last song, Take Me to the River, could mean a few things.
 
a) Pastor Gumbo is just going to kill you, and the river reference is to the River Stix, the river of the dead. Kinda morbid, but it could be
 
b) Pastor Gumbo is going to baptize you and Nerves for your “hethen” ways. Again, could be because of the river reference, but probably not.
 
c) Pastor Gumbo is taking you down the Mississippi River to Louisiana. Since gumbo is a dish that is associated with New Orleans and Louisiana, I figured that Pastor Gumbo is from that area. Now whether he is taking you down there, or just using the river is beyond me.
 
But those are my guesses on what happened at the end of the show. Great job guys, love the show… hopefully there will be more…

So was it this Pastor Gumbo guy that took Jitterbug and Nerves?  Does anyone know how we can find this guy?  We also got this from Amutton17:

 I tried putting this into the comments section on the Mystery Update 1 page, but it wouldn’t let me put it up. But here we go anyway…

    So… they’ve been kidnapped by Pastor Gumbo, tied up, and taken to the river to feed his piranah clergyman, meaning they require some Help!… probably down some river in Louisiana, home of Gumbo.

    I don’t know how Gone Daddy Gone works into it…. unless you guys are both fathers, meaning “HELP! Daddy’s Gone and been Taken to the River, by Pastor Gumbo!”

So we’ve narrowed it down to Louisiana, but we still need more info.  Someone out there must know of a way to contact this person!  Help us find Jitterbug and Nerves!
