Beginning this story I will just say that my job is never easy,especially when it comes to being my first year on the job with a huge murder investigation, the only thing I have is a story from the boys best friend, Tabby.I have no idea what to do about this, im scared that im not going to find the killer or the victim , but all I know is... I need Tabitha. I found her in the one place you wouldn't have ever expected ,she was down by the river ,after the last two murders no one would ever think to go there ,they say that's where she stays. But Tabby? She's different ,she has her instincts and I have mine but when Tabby says something you usually listen. " I figured there would be more than just the victims bodies"she said digging around in the water ,I bent down to her level and smiled "there's always been extra things that detectives miss ok the crime shows, always".
Buy as usual Tabby was right there was more, remember her talking about that teacher ? I believe we may have a suspect but where to find them ? ,I mean the fact that she doesn't leave any clues and we know exactly who's been doing it,it should be easy right?
Not so much, you can't really arrest someone for murder when they're already dead. We have our suspicions about how she kills but honestly I think they're pretty dumb.We're starting to see a pattern , everyone is either between the age of ten to thirteen or fifteen to eighteen. She never goes younger than that and if there's siblings in the school she kills either the oldest or the youngest first depending on age difference, with this being only my first year of course I've never seen anything like it, not even during training.
Max's case was very detailed in evidence, we've found that typically when she kills boys she doesn't leave any clues, Although she did leave a small sample of Max's DNA. I had re-visited an old case file from several years back because something about this case just kept taking me back to a boy killed similarly to everyone else but everything she did to him, she did separately to the others. We called Tabby in for a second questioning about Maxwell , it was going good until I mentioned the teacher they both had. I was nervous as hell and the look on her face wasn't making me any calmer .Tabby had an amazingly strange smile , She never had a smile unless she was thinking . "Miss pipp's face was always stone cold and full of hatred." Said Tabby. Going back to what I said about her doing things Separately to the others , by that I mean she would Kill one kid one way like ,strangulation or drowning and then another type of kill on another kid but when she got to Max , she tied him up and threw him in the water after she cut him up ,not too bad though he survived that ,but you cant really swim while you're tied up now can you? ,Im just going to come out and say this ... I don't see how we're going to arrest a ghost for murder, not a very likely thing to do.
My squad says that the woman is very much alive but just posing as a ghostly figure to scare her victims ,but I don't think so, the look of terror in these peoples eyes, there's just no way that it was a human attacker. In the house of the first victim I personally investigated asking with a couple of uniformed officers but found nothing. After the house went up for sale however the new owners were out cleaning up the property and up in the attic found a box of old letters.... No names for the addressees, no return addresses, just this address for the family who used to live here, who all seven mysteriously died in a fire in which no structural damage occurred almost like something non-human conjured up beyond the depths of hell and made this family scared to even leave their house.
Tabby filled out a report telling everyone about Max's life ,she was very upset but wrote it for me anyway ."I knew max... from school way back before high school I believe, then one day my mom and I went over to Max's house and without knowing it we ...were again meeting, our moms never knew we already knew each other.
They never introduced us .... His mom was my babysitter when she was a kid .Anyway max was a bright kid ,straight A's and always smiling,the only thing that really makes you feel worse about this whole thing is that his dad ,Tall,long brown hair,brown eyes ,looking almost identical to max but being his father of course ,was barely around and very abusive when he was there ." He never had a true father figure ,he always confided in his older brother but even that was a lot for poor axel .
After taking tabby's report I filed it into the case file so that we could investigate further, I have no Idea what to do about this, I'm scared that I'm not going to find the killer or the victim ,All I know is ,I need Tabitha's help ,I can't do this on my own. Of all the Places I could find a girl like her ...I found her in the woods down by the river, the one place you wouldn't have expected because after the last two murders no one would even think to go down there with the fear of this woman getting to them as well because that's where the kids say she lives .
