Speaker 1: Hey, lethal listeners, tig torres here stay tuned for the
Speaker 1: next episode of Lethal Lit. But before we dive into
Speaker 1: today's episode, here's a quick word from our sponsor. You're
Speaker 1: about to hear a recording of my aunt Beth taped
Speaker 1: at a murder scene she was covering for the local paper.
Speaker 1: Two months later, she was dead. It was ruled a suicide.
Speaker 1: La was a twenty seven year old woman, brown hair,
Speaker 1: brown eyes, five four approximately thirty five pounds, in visible
Speaker 1: tattoos or markings. Cause of death unknown. She was found
Speaker 1: with two small puncture ruins on the right side of
Speaker 1: her neck, dried blood near the entry points. Before you
Speaker 1: get too excited and bust out your twilight merch, this
Speaker 1: isn't a vampire story. After she died, my aunt was
Speaker 1: accused of being a serial murderer known as the lip Killer.
Speaker 1: A note found inside the victim's purse, consistent with the
Speaker 1: previous ones, reads, you're always a careful student. Now you
Speaker 1: are master the colts from John Seward, a character in
Speaker 1: Bram Stoker's Dracula. The lip Killer murders gripped the small
Speaker 1: town of Hollow Falls a decade ago. By the end
Speaker 1: of the killing spree six people, including my aunt Beth.
Speaker 1: We're dead. The police discovered a handwritten note next to
Speaker 1: our body and decided it was her confession. But my
Speaker 1: aunt was no killer. The mission of this podcast is simple,
Speaker 1: to uncover the truth, to clear my aunt's name, to
Speaker 1: put the real killer behind bars, or die trying. I'm
Speaker 1: tig Torres and this is Lethal Lit. Greetings, Lethal Lit listeners,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the first episode of our podcast. Well, if
Speaker 1: there are any of you out there listening, I'm new
Speaker 1: to this whole podcast thing. My home, my past is
Speaker 1: a burnt out burg known as Hollow Falls. Back in
Speaker 1: the day, it was known for making iron. Now it's
Speaker 1: known for board teens getting laid, dealing drugs, and oh yeah,
Speaker 1: grizzly murders. My dad knew it was time to bail
Speaker 1: once the town decided my aunt was a serial killer.
Speaker 1: He wanted a better life for me, one that was
Speaker 1: more gossip Girl West twin Peaks. So we ditched for
Speaker 1: New York. But my dad lost his job. So now
Speaker 1: I'm back in this time warp of a town, living
Speaker 1: in my aboilas creeky old house. While he's looking for
Speaker 1: new work, I'm here taking the opportunity to make things right.
Speaker 1: The only way you can truly understand the lit Killer
Speaker 1: is by understanding where they sprang from Hollow Falls. And
Speaker 1: since the iron works closed, the only thing in this
Speaker 1: town that still has a faint heartbeat is Hollow Falls High.
Speaker 1: I managed to sneak through the first week of the
Speaker 1: school year, plenty of dirty looks for the new girl,
Speaker 1: a few old kindergarten classmates who wouldn't look at me
Speaker 1: at all, but I guess that's to be expected. Here
Speaker 1: we go on week two. In Pride and Prejudice, the
Speaker 1: book Guys, Elizabeth Bennett says, there is a stubbornness about
Speaker 1: me that never can bear to be frightened. My courage
Speaker 1: always rises at every attempt to intimidate me. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about now, because even though I'm stubborn, I'm scared,
Speaker 1: and I need my courage to lead me towards some help.
Speaker 1: I need to find out of my way. Psycho Junior Movement.
Speaker 1: That's Tony del Canto us D, A approved jock with
Speaker 1: resting more on face. He'll be important leader. Hell Man,
Speaker 1: what's where I'm going? You're the one. No one wants
Speaker 1: you here? Freak show we all know about you and
Speaker 1: your messed up family. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: My debut at the school was a rocky one. Everyone
Speaker 1: already knew exactly who tig Torres was. But while my
Speaker 1: family wasn't loved around here, I still didn't expect to
Speaker 1: be body slammed by the high school quarterback before eight am.
Speaker 1: I needed to find some allies stat so after school
Speaker 1: I decided to check out the student newspaper, The Talent First, guys,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to think, Hi, newspaper staff, I'm t
Speaker 1: we knew who you are. City Mouse. That's Max Winman.
Speaker 1: He it can be a little extra. Sometimes you'll see
Speaker 1: what's up. Dorus bored a small film authority, and that's
Speaker 1: win Abbott. Both Max and Winner on the newspaper staff.
Speaker 1: They don't hate me as much as they seem to. Now.
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking for info on the serial murders that
Speaker 1: took place here ten years ago. You mean the murders
Speaker 1: your aunt committed. She didn't kill anyone, she was framed.
Speaker 1: The real killer is still out there. This podcast I'm
Speaker 1: starting is gonna put you. That's our friend Tony. I
Speaker 1: told you he'd pop up again. You've got to swap
Speaker 1: out the picture of me from Tuesday's game. Bro Coach
Speaker 1: keeps calling me volcano face because of that giant sit
Speaker 1: on my cheek, Show up my better side. You have
Speaker 1: a better side. Yeah, that's the one that shows how
Speaker 1: much more important football is in this town than whatever
Speaker 1: feminazi slumber parties you plan in your kids. Lost, Tony,
Speaker 1: you're killing an hostile vibe. That's Ali Price, editor of
Speaker 1: the Talent. Oh my bad, sorry to interrupt your chat
Speaker 1: with Jackie the Ripper over here. Just fix that shot.
Speaker 1: So there's were picks of me actually throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: And as for you don't murder anyone, okay, psycho Tony out?
Speaker 1: Did he just say Tony out a third person himself?
Speaker 1: But just give the meadheads some credit for finally noticing
Speaker 1: I've been spotlighting that boulders it for the last three
Speaker 1: Yearsues does win with the clap? Is he always such
Speaker 1: an alpha douche? Yeah, he's pretty much just a walking
Speaker 1: flat line. So why are you here again because you
Speaker 1: want to talk serial killers? Yeah? Like I said, I'm
Speaker 1: starting a new podcast and you need research people to
Speaker 1: help you out with that. We're all kind of serial
Speaker 1: killer experts around here. But I think you can handle
Speaker 1: things when the research gets a little gory, a little
Speaker 1: messed up. Messed up like an entire town thinking your
Speaker 1: aunt was a murderer and blaming your whole fan for
Speaker 1: the last decade. That sounds more sad than anything. And
Speaker 1: I gotta handle on gory, like how Jeffrey Dahmer used
Speaker 1: to feed his neighbor's sand jizzy made from his victor
Speaker 1: lunch is canceled. Okay, okay, maybe you can't hang with
Speaker 1: this crew. Hold on a sect? Is this? This is
Speaker 1: the moment where I know I'm in the right place.
Speaker 1: These Junior Sarah Kaneggs not only had a map of
Speaker 1: the town hanging up in the newspaper office, but it
Speaker 1: was loaded with color coded pushpins and strings. Each one
Speaker 1: pointed to a lip killer murder, plus a photo of
Speaker 1: the victim, along with one of my aunt Beth and
Speaker 1: one of me. This is for a memorial edition of
Speaker 1: the talent, ten years since the lid killer murders, the
Speaker 1: town's only real claim to fame. You know, it's it
Speaker 1: forever to get it approved, but our adviser, Mr Levinson
Speaker 1: pulled the strings for us. Wow, So that's how you
Speaker 1: knew who I was. You've already done a bunch of
Speaker 1: the same research I have. I mean, you could have
Speaker 1: picked a less freshmany photo. But whatever, it's cool. So
Speaker 1: what's this week's topic? The lip Killer's Dracula style fourth murder?
Speaker 1: Is it all podcasts and no play with you? Pretty
Speaker 1: much until I prove my aunt's innocence And you think
Speaker 1: you can do that? Oh? I know I can do it,
Speaker 1: but I could also really use some support. I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm an instant outcast here. I figured, since you
Speaker 1: guys are already interested in this kind of thing, maybe
Speaker 1: we could team up. What do you say, help a
Speaker 1: new girl out? Cute? But why should we believe you?
Speaker 1: Of course you think your aunt's innocence. She's your aunt,
Speaker 1: but the evidence says otherwise. Yeah. True, But what if
Speaker 1: the evidence the town wants us to believe is wrong.
Speaker 1: What if the people in charge of the evidence we're
Speaker 1: looking for an easy fix instead of the truth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not really buying it. Maybe you're just trying to
Speaker 1: convince yourself you will become a slaughter siren like your aunts. Fine, whatever,
Speaker 1: I just thought maybe the newspaper staff would be less
Speaker 1: gullible than the rest of this zombie town. Dude, have
Speaker 1: you been recording our conversation this whole time? It's not
Speaker 1: even like legal Relax Innocence project. I just had it
Speaker 1: on in case you guys said anything useful, but no
Speaker 1: worries he didn't. Taurus has some bite. I like it,
Speaker 1: all right? Can you call us when you like have
Speaker 1: some actual proof. In the meantime, can we get back
Speaker 1: to whatever we were doing before this whole encounter? How's this?
Speaker 1: Stop the presses? Everyone? It's the missing link a printed photo,
Speaker 1: not guiltily. Wait is that bes Taurus? Do not call
Speaker 1: her that? TESTI? TESTI Okay? So uh all right, it's
Speaker 1: your aunt and you and we care because check your pinboard, Watson.
Speaker 1: It was taken at the annual Hollow Falls Harvest Festival.
Speaker 1: Look at the time stamp? WHOA? The lip Killer's fourth victim,
Speaker 1: Mary Wozniak, was murdered on June eleven, two and eight.
Speaker 1: The coroner's report gave the time of death that noon,
Speaker 1: the time stamp on my photo one PM. Not enough
Speaker 1: to prove her innocence, but just enough to make you
Speaker 1: scratch your head and think that maybe, just maybe my
Speaker 1: Auntbeth wasn't the lip killer, so had I gotten some
Speaker 1: backup from Win Ali and Max? But I wasn't sure yet.
Speaker 1: But I still needed to dive into the Hollow Falls
Speaker 1: i'd missed out on after my dad and I skipped town.
Speaker 1: The best way to do that would be by talking
Speaker 1: to someone who had survived the last decade intact mostly. Okay,
Speaker 1: can you state your name for the tape? Please, Abuela
Speaker 1: no Ahuilla, your real name, Oh, Sophia Urabella. Thanks for clarifying.
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about Hollow Falls,
Speaker 1: color Falls city, sip sucks, that's what You'rbeth. Bobby always
Speaker 1: said to me, Mommy, I'm bored, Mommy, why do we
Speaker 1: live here? I've heard it all before, Minina, So I'm
Speaker 1: ready for you. This is my Aboila. She's wonderful, smart, funny, and,
Speaker 1: let's be honest, a little crazy, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: get a better sense of how the town had changed
Speaker 1: since my dad and I left a Boila, I told
Speaker 1: you this is for the podcast, which for you would
Speaker 1: be kind of like an old radio show. I know
Speaker 1: what a podcast is, right, Okay, So what can you
Speaker 1: tell me about the town? What's the vibe like here,
Speaker 1: vibe is bad, very very bad. But I don't know
Speaker 1: how much you want me to say. I need you
Speaker 1: to be honest, Ninya. I am always honest, you know that.
Speaker 1: But in this town you don't want to say too much.
Speaker 1: You know, there are a lot of people in this
Speaker 1: town who don't like our family to Haboila. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Hollow Falls used to be a nice place. But this
Speaker 1: was years ago, when there were jobs, when people helped
Speaker 1: each other. When you're Abuelow, God rest his soul first
Speaker 1: moved us to Hollow Falls. But times change. When the
Speaker 1: iron works closed, the jobs point away, and the town
Speaker 1: it got different, different, how not trust. You didn't say
Speaker 1: hi to your neighbors anymore. You locked your doors. The
Speaker 1: whole town had gone to the birds. So many birds, birds, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: so many birds. The whole town was infested with wings,
Speaker 1: feathers to saois all over the place. I think that's
Speaker 1: what created that monstro, that murderer who took my best.
Speaker 1: Like I said, mostly intact, my interview with Aboila Sophia done,
Speaker 1: and after getting nothing from the principal's office at school,
Speaker 1: his assistant did a convincing impression of a brick wall.
Speaker 1: It was time to hit the streets and dig up
Speaker 1: some facts from the town itself. I decided my next
Speaker 1: stop would be the Hollow Falls Police Department. They dropped
Speaker 1: the ball in a major way when it came to
Speaker 1: the lip killer case and totally took the easy way out.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean they don't have info I could use. Hey, Hi,
Speaker 1: how did you get back in? Um? I had an
Speaker 1: appointment to see Detective Carver. Is she around here? Have
Speaker 1: an appointment with Laura? That's odd? No, she's not around.
Speaker 1: I'm a partner Detective Jake Lahne. Can I help you? Yeah? Actually,
Speaker 1: I'm working on a project about the lit killer case,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to talk to someone about where the
Speaker 1: investigation stand. Well. I wasn't around back then, but I
Speaker 1: know the cases officially closed. That reported did it? Why
Speaker 1: would you want to do a project about such? Are
Speaker 1: you sure she did it? Have you looked over the evidence?
Speaker 1: I haven't. When we studied at the academy a bit.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a haky case. Yeah, something about the
Speaker 1: killer's suicide, how it looks different from the murder. Have
Speaker 1: you lost your rookie mind? Oh? The sex of car.
Speaker 1: This is Tig Torres, niece of Bes Torres, and you,
Speaker 1: my young, inexperienced partner, are spilling confidential info about her
Speaker 1: aunt's case to her. What's wrong with this picture, Lee Haine,
Speaker 1: her aunt as for you, Torres, would be in your
Speaker 1: best interest to turn off that recording device and walk
Speaker 1: out that door immediately. The lit killer case is closed,
Speaker 1: has been for a long time. Come on go. It's
Speaker 1: hard to argue with a police detective asking well, demanding
Speaker 1: you leave a police station. So I did, but Lehane's
Speaker 1: loose lips gave me more than I expected, a little hope. Still,
Speaker 1: I needed hard facts. Next up was the place where
Speaker 1: my aunt Beth broke the lit killer story and where
Speaker 1: it bro her. I ran into Win on my way
Speaker 1: to the Hollow Falls Ledger, my aunt's old workplace. Once
Speaker 1: a thriving daily paper, the Ledger was now a fading relic.
Speaker 1: Hallow Falls Ledger. This is hang on a sec. Hi.
Speaker 1: Can I help you too? Hi? We're Tig and Win
Speaker 1: and we're high school students working on a report about
Speaker 1: the lip killer. Is there anyone here who could help
Speaker 1: us with our research? It's really important we get a
Speaker 1: good grade. On this. We're always chasing them. Maze. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't think we can help you. Is Sam Steiner here?
Speaker 1: He used to work with Beth Torres back in the day.
Speaker 1: Sam doesn't work here anymore, young lady, So I'm sorry. Well,
Speaker 1: do you have a number where I could reach him?
Speaker 1: And he's been gone for years since, well since the
Speaker 1: truth about his partner came out and hit him hard.
Speaker 1: You mean the lie hit him hard because it was all, Oh, ma'am,
Speaker 1: Is there any way that you can help us find Sam? Look,
Speaker 1: people come and go, especially in this business. It feels
Speaker 1: like we've got a new wave of layoffs every week.
Speaker 1: But Sam was out of here years ago, and last
Speaker 1: I already harmited himself away in the woods. You need
Speaker 1: more than that. They'll take a high see if you
Speaker 1: can find him. My aunt Beth always said that a
Speaker 1: big part of reporting was showing up and asking questions.
Speaker 1: This time we barely got to ask any questions. But
Speaker 1: just when I thought all of Hollow Falls was going
Speaker 1: to be a massive black hole of info, I found
Speaker 1: something in the place I should have checked first. Maya
Speaker 1: Buda's houses on the edge of town. She's lucky. People
Speaker 1: tend to leave her alone. Well, mostly there are the
Speaker 1: occasional burnouts looking to egg the dump where Beth lip
Speaker 1: Killer Torres grew up, and knowing how desperate the cops
Speaker 1: were to close the lip killer case back then, I
Speaker 1: knew they couldn't have gotten all of Aunt Beth's notes.
Speaker 1: I felt like I had a good chance of finding
Speaker 1: something police were too basic to see. And where better
Speaker 1: to kick off my search for evidence than in Aboila's
Speaker 1: giant rickety house. When stopped by and offered to help,
Speaker 1: so I roped her into searching a What is attic
Speaker 1: with me? She's taking a nap right now, Hence the
Speaker 1: whispering where this police has death trap written all over it.
Speaker 1: If I see a spider, I'm out. No promises. Maybe
Speaker 1: the dust will keep them out. I came out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Are you sure this police is haunted? That was the
Speaker 1: sound of me stepping on a loose floorboard. I have
Speaker 1: the bruises to prove it. But what was underneath was
Speaker 1: a gold mine. What is that? It was a fortune Teller,
Speaker 1: an oregonmy paper game with folded parts that were labeled
Speaker 1: with colors and letters. I tried a few combinations like
Speaker 1: blue and z. But it left me flat. Maybe it
Speaker 1: was nothing. Maybe I was looking for meaning in a
Speaker 1: child's toy. I was still ending in that broken down attict,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what a piece of paper meant.
Speaker 1: When I saw it a bookshelf across the room, my
Speaker 1: eyes stopped on one book in particular, The Scarlet Letter
Speaker 1: by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the story of a colonial woman forced
Speaker 1: to wear a red a on her clothing because the
Speaker 1: whole town decided to slut shame her. The story of
Speaker 1: a woman who had become a pariah. Scarlet. That's got
Speaker 1: to be it. It's one of the books on the
Speaker 1: shelf here. So what though, I mean, everybody has a
Speaker 1: copy of that book. That's the point. When these are
Speaker 1: literary classics. It ties into the case directly. Check it out.
Speaker 1: When I flipped from red to A there's a number
Speaker 1: under that flap, three digits, like a page number in
Speaker 1: a book. Please be a page number in the book.
Speaker 1: Oh are you kidding me? Maybe it underestimated you girl. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Here in the margins of the page, it says Duvall Street.
Speaker 1: And look at the symbol on the facing page. I
Speaker 1: ever seen that? No, that just looks like a bird
Speaker 1: in a circle. But that address is near Hemlock Row.
Speaker 1: My parents always said to avoid that strip. I can't wait. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm walking through town with Max and we're almost at
Speaker 1: two Ball Street when said she needed a massive detox
Speaker 1: after snorting up so much dust in my boils attic.
Speaker 1: Max knows the drain better than I do, so he's
Speaker 1: taking point. I haven't been all the way down here,
Speaker 1: but I think we're close. This is kind of like
Speaker 1: treasure hunting, right, I mean in this area, it's more
Speaker 1: like dumpster diving. But still, Oh, there it is Ball Street. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's actually kind of cool. Styles always where you least expected.
Speaker 1: It was a diner dressed up like a Johnny rockets
Speaker 1: on crap Ray Bradberry with a dash of Stephen King.
Speaker 1: But why did my aunt's clue sent me here? Hey, kiddos,
Speaker 1: are you staring at You're smoking them molly pills? I
Speaker 1: wish I was. This is jaded waiter Phil. We found
Speaker 1: him smoking outside the Star Diner. I kind of love him. Oh,
Speaker 1: we were just admiring the design of this place. Is
Speaker 1: this a bank scene? Who the heck is Spanksy? I
Speaker 1: don't understand half of what you can't say today. This
Speaker 1: place used to be nice, but now it's all ganda happy.
Speaker 1: Look at that damn sign give me a freaking headache.
Speaker 1: With every flicker, the A and Star diner was suffering
Speaker 1: from a faulty bulb. The sign was also read a
Speaker 1: red scarlet letter a bingo. After a few fruitless circles
Speaker 1: around the sign, we almost gave up. But remember that
Speaker 1: symbol we noticed in the book. It was crudely scratched
Speaker 1: into the sign posts electrical panel. We pried it open
Speaker 1: and found a small box with a tiny black cassette
Speaker 1: tape inside. Aunt Beth must have used these for recording
Speaker 1: her thoughts, her genius and Beth thoughts. Thankfully, even Hollow
Speaker 1: Falls was within Amazon Primes rate, so I could find
Speaker 1: a recorder to play it. But that wasn't all. In
Speaker 1: the box with the mini cassette was a slip of paper.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, damn, your aunt is literally passing us
Speaker 1: notes from beyond the grave. Is it better for a
Speaker 1: man to have chosen evil than to have good imposed
Speaker 1: upon him? That sounds familiar. Let me look it up
Speaker 1: on my phone. I was right. It's from a clockwork
Speaker 1: orange whoa, We're totally on a treasure hunting dumpster diving adventure. Now,
Speaker 1: what did I tell you? Our next move was to
Speaker 1: try and get our hands on a copy of Anthony
Speaker 1: Burgess's book. With that in mind, I headed to one
Speaker 1: of the few useful places left in town, the Hollow
Speaker 1: Falls Library. Man, I love the library. I'd forgotten how
Speaker 1: many fond memories I had of the Hollow Falls branch.
Speaker 1: Fond memories and Hollow Falls are two phrases you don't
Speaker 1: hear together much. It just got so much personality, from
Speaker 1: the old school clock tower to the retro filing system.
Speaker 1: I didn't find any copies of clockwork orange, but I
Speaker 1: did dig up an article about an internship program teaming
Speaker 1: up the talent and the Hollow Falls Ledger. No such
Speaker 1: program exists now, though not to self asked Mr Levinson
Speaker 1: about why it was discontinued. Hey cordin yourself again? What no?
Speaker 1: And just never mind? Yes, I am so. I got
Speaker 1: bored and googled you last night. Weird. It seems you're
Speaker 1: not a newvie when it comes to the world of
Speaker 1: true crime. Take twar us or should I call you?
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Salamander? Nine seven impressive? This is Ali again from
Speaker 1: the newspaper, and apparently he frequents the same true crime
Speaker 1: message boards. I do the screen name he mentioned. My
Speaker 1: screen name is a jokey reference to The Girl with
Speaker 1: the Dragon Tattoo books by Steve Larson. Hey, look, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry we gave you a hard time when you came
Speaker 1: by the talent. I know when and Max have been
Speaker 1: partnering up with you. But if you want more help
Speaker 1: with your serial killer research, my services are available to
Speaker 1: and what services are the What is is this it?
Speaker 1: Roof water? Oh god, it looks like get it over.
Speaker 1: Remember our pal Tony del Canto, Well, that was his
Speaker 1: body that crashed down in front of us. I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like that. I never want to again. Sure,
Speaker 1: I've seen crime scene photos, read some messed up books,
Speaker 1: but seeing something so gruesome in person, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1: The word on the street is suicide. But based on
Speaker 1: what we've learned so far about this town, what do
Speaker 1: you think? We want everyone to remain calm and the
Speaker 1: investigation proceeds. Defective cover me have everything under control. That
Speaker 1: was Principal Ronald Block's attempt at calming the student body
Speaker 1: in the wake of Tony's death. While anyone could have
Speaker 1: their reasons for jumping from a clock tower, from what
Speaker 1: we know of Tony so far, does he seem like
Speaker 1: the type. Turns out, Tony's background was more complicated than most.
Speaker 1: Tony's dad, Big Tone, was a major businessman in Hollow Falls.
Speaker 1: He was, also, along with five others, a victim of
Speaker 1: the lit killer, which explains why Tony was such a jerk.
Speaker 1: To me, he thought my aunt murdered his dad, But
Speaker 1: this wasn't someone who had given up on at all.
Speaker 1: No one believes us, but Ali and I know that
Speaker 1: blood dripped before the body fell. And guess what was
Speaker 1: found next to Tony's shattered body? A shell, A broken
Speaker 1: conk shell with a number painted on it. Ten twelve
Speaker 1: to anyone else, random, but to me, my aunt Beth
Speaker 1: died on October twelfth, two thousand and eight. The crime
Speaker 1: scene has been mostly cleared, so we're back in the
Speaker 1: library using the prehistoric microfiche again. Scrolling through early October
Speaker 1: two thou and eight editions of the Hollow Falls Ledger
Speaker 1: to see, wait, this is all wrong. The front page
Speaker 1: of the newspaper is completely blank. What are those numbers?
Speaker 1: The newspaper front page on the day of my aunt
Speaker 1: Beth's murder was not new to me. Someone had tampered
Speaker 1: with the microfish and wiped the story. In its place
Speaker 1: was the number eight to three point nine, followed by
Speaker 1: the letters G O L eight two three. Well, it
Speaker 1: can't be another date. When we had first got into
Speaker 1: the library, we grabbed a copy of Lord of the
Speaker 1: Flies by William Golding because it has a deadly fall,
Speaker 1: R I P. Piggy and a conk shell. But the
Speaker 1: library copy of the book had turned up nothing until now.
Speaker 1: What you think the number could be the book? That's
Speaker 1: the connection, like it's the eighth book in the second
Speaker 1: it's the Dewey decimal number. Look for Lord of the Flies.
Speaker 1: The d D number is A to three and the
Speaker 1: G O L has got to be Golding, not bad Torres.
Speaker 1: How do we know what book it is? What about
Speaker 1: this one free fall by guess who William Golding? Seems appropriate?
Speaker 1: And there's something stuck in between the pages open it.
Speaker 1: There's a note card and also a highlighted passage. Are
Speaker 1: is partly communication but only partly The rest is discovery.
Speaker 1: What what does the note say? Hello again hollow falls?
Speaker 1: I have to say It's so good to be back.
Speaker 1: Equally delightful to find another young tourists to play with.
Speaker 1: Who knew all it take was one precocious little team
Speaker 1: to get me all riled up again. Quite the plot twist,
Speaker 1: don't you think? Keep reading? This one's going to be
Speaker 1: a real page turner. The words even coming out of
Speaker 1: Ali's mouth made my skin grow cold. The lit killer
Speaker 1: is back and they know who I am. How much
Speaker 1: blood is on my hands now for reopening this casket?
Speaker 1: What have I unleashed? Things? Just got real. I'm going
Speaker 1: to keep pressing and I'll have another chunk of lethal
Speaker 1: It ready to share soon. Stay tuned on the next
Speaker 1: episode of Lethal litt Get this on tape. They're all
Speaker 1: on Killer just returning on me? Is true about leg Stool?
