A Long Lost ARG of a Highly Spooky Nature

I figured this would be right up /x/'s alley. This was my first exposure to any truly unnerving ARG's on the internet and it has haunted me for 6 years.
6 years ago when I was browsing backstory videos for Call of Duty: Nazi Zombies I came across a video with Johnny Cash singing "We'll meet again". The video was just a series of screenshots of various points of interest in the game. The most interesting thing was the music.
Out of curiosity I checked the comments and I found a discussion about a persons name that I have since forgotten, and how it apparently had something to do with the video, CoD backstory, etc.
I look up the name on youtube and I get a series of ARG entries, all of which were primarily audio in nature. The first video started with the click of a recorder, and a brief introduction. Apparently this person was conducting some kind of investigation against an institution he suspected of inhumane practices. With classical music playing in the background, he went on to explain his motivations. I've forgotten most of the details, but he sounded middle aged and fairly educated.
The next video was him explaining that he was packing to go on a plane ride to what I think he called an airbase, and that he did not know what was waiting for him.
Video number three was him recollecting the last few hours of events. He was now riding in the backseat of a car, in a rainstorm, blindfolded. He sounded less collected and explained that they were now on approaching an area where heavy interference would be an issue, and he was no longer certain if he would be able to continue relaying his experiences. He also said "We are in a car, we are still human, as far as I know."
This was the last relatively normal video. Every video after that was a collection of screams, begs for mercy and delirium. It scared me so bad I cleared my search history.
It has now been 6 years of searching for this ARG. If anyone knows anything, this is my last attempt at resolution.
