Supernatural Murder Investigators - that's what we are.

I've found out more about the Dale Creek murders. There were seven murders in all - two homeless men, two high school girls, a guy who was out walking his dog, a Dale Creek Hospital intern who was attacked on his way home from work and some old woman named Rose McKirk. All of the murders took place after dark and the victims were all attacked outside their homes except for Rose McKirk who was apparently murdered in her mansion, Grey Gates. I checked the local Dale Creek paper and apparently there was a lot of hoo-hah about the whole thing. People were getting freaked out and they nearly had a curfew enforced on the town. Then, nothing else happened and after a while everyone sort of forgot all about it. There had been two suspects - Jonathan Roberts and Oliver Plovers but they were never charged with anything.
It's all very intriguing. I told Kristy about it and she's interested too. We're now tentatively planning a drive down to Dale Creek to investigate further. Paul says we should leave it alone. But then, he's 117 years old and a boring old codger so we're not going to listen to him.

Dale Creek Murders

Most of today was spent shelving books in dusty aisles that have probably never been visited by anyone in years. Do the cleaning ladies even get that far?
I found a possible lead in the vampire research. Turns out that there were a series of mysterious killings in Dale Creek, which is about four hours' drive from here. There were no marks on the victims to signify how they died. Then, the killings just stopped. Very intriguing. I was about to find out more when my boss, Andrea, swooped down on me with a list of tasks as long as my arm. So tomorrow I intend to sneak into the microfiche room while she is busy with the Children's Reading Hour and research the Dale Creek murders further.
