Case Files
A handful of case files that are of interest turn up during Cerrit and Leon's organization efforts, tucked into the back of some sad, abandoned filing cabinet.
The first appears to be the details surrounding a missing person case.
CASE FILE MP-020846-CD
Type: Missing Person
Date Opened: Feb. 8, 16:46
Receiving Officer: Detective Antony Belmont
Victim: Linette Brenning
Suspects:
Witnesses:
Initiator: Harriet Leeds-Brenning
Relationship: Victim's wife
Date Closed:
Case Status: Cold
Initial report given by Initiator on the date of opening after Victim had been missing in excess of 48 hours. Victim last seen at her apothecary shop on Hemlock Street in Downtown Hollow on the afternoon of Feb. 5, 46. Shop was found closed properly by Initiator and investigators. No witnesses report having seen any sign of Victim after her last sighting. No one witnessed the shop being locked up or Victim exiting the building from either the front or back door.
No sign of a struggle was seen in or around the apothecary. Victim's home shows no signs of struggle, robbery, evacuation, or being tossed. No suicide or runaway note. Items appear to be left as they had when she left. Only items missing were those that she took to work: a white dress, her everyday shoes, her wedding ring, and her locket. Initiator reported no unusual behavior at Victim's time of leaving. No catastrophizing or talk of self-harm. All conversations appeared normal.
A list of various investigation locations and interview details follow. None appear relevant. The list of supporting officers includes Janine Kilbride. The case was unresolved and moved to cold status one year after it was opened. Harriet Leeds-Brenning died a few months after.
The next file that appears relevant is a harassment case.
CASE FILE HM-102245-DM
Type: Harassment
Date Opened: Oct 22 16:45
Receiving Officer: Constable Bethany Meeks
Victim: Neil West
Suspects: Japhet Leeds
Witnesses: Elias Coldwood-West
Initiator: Neil West
Relationship: Self
Date Closed: Nov 6, 16:45
Case Status: Dismissed
Victim believes he is being stalked by Suspect. Claims to have sensitive information about Suspect which has caused Suspect to run a hidden smear campaign against Victim. Claims that slander, libel, and other forms of defamation have been taking place in secret to drive away his business and silence him, despite the fact that he alleges he has not shared this information. Vehemently denies any attempts at vigilante justice investigations to confirm the information he acquired. Suspect claims this is not the case, denies allegations.
Victim cannot identify any witnesses as he does not know who was told what. Only identifiable witness is his spouse, Dr. Coldwood-West. Witness provided minimal information, claiming that business has dropped off significantly and strange people have been spotted outside West Dream Analytics, but can only speculate as to the reasons. His speculations mirror that of the Victim, but less confidently. He apparently cannot verify the alleged sensitive information--- neither its details nor its truth. Witness also mentioned that Victim "seems paranoid."
Without firm details, case must be closed. Accused does not intend to press counter-charges. Case is available for reopen if Dr. West can provide hard evidence of harassment as it is defined by city bylaws.

CASE DHR - 111545 - RC
Type: Desecration of Human Remains
Date Opened: Nov 11 16:45
Receiving Officer: Chief Constable Janine Kilbride
Victim: Jasper Leeds
Suspects: Elias Coldwood-West
Witnesses: Linette Brenning, Harriet Leeds-Brenning
Initiator: Japhet Leeds
Relationship: Victim's Father
Date Closed: Dec 2, 16:45
Case Status: Resolved, Conviction
Suspect was spotted by Witnesses (who were together) in Fall's Promise Cemetery after dark on the night of Nov. 11, 45, attempting to remove the remains of the late Jasper Leeds from their entombment. Witnesses informed Initiator who then contacted the authorities. Constables arrived at the scene to find Suspect still at the scene, attempting to use Eldritch magic for necromancy. Suspect did not resist arrest.
Suspect explains his intention was to summon Victim to request information with regard to CASE FILE HM-102245-DM in an attempt to reopen or resolve the claims made by his spouse regarding Initiator. He was not able to successfully perform the ritual before authorities arrived. Suspect was surprisingly candid about the incident, willfully admitting that he did not make any attempt to acquire permission from the surviving family of Victim or petition law enforcement for a Warrant to Summon.
Suspect pled guilty to all charges on Dec 2, 45 and was convicted to 1 year in prison for Desecration of Human Remains. Was given parole after 6 months for good behavior and was released July 5, 46.
