Bringing you local news for local people
from the desk of Dita Actor
Transcribed Notes :
Over coffee with Nancy Neiro, who claims to be Laura Dreadlow's cousin.
She popped by the office to confirm news of Laura's death to be true.
She disclosed that emails sent by Laura to her in past weeks prior to her disappearance seemed darker.
Neiro runs her own IT consultancy and has contracts with some major software firms and had been convinced before returning to the bay area, that Laura would have followed her footsteps and gone to MIT.
Neiro also mentions Laura frequently talked about the 7 Sins Club of which Laura seemed an alleged frequent patron.
Neiro also mentions Laura had a close friend named Q.
*Notes to self *
Must look into Q,
Still researching the real Laura Dreadlow article.
Must look into the 7 Sins Club more closely.
Is the murder connected to some underground trade in illicit medical surgeries?
Must post these pictures to Agent Dresden.

At Approximately 12…..15p.m., I was contacted from the home office, to report to a small town on the harbor, Sinner’s Rest. First report says they found a floater in the harbor. Nude, and wrapped in plastic, rules out a suicide or accident.
1:20: Arriving On scene I have noted two things. One, the local police are far from organised or even prepared to face a murder investigation. And two, that the floater was a beautiful woman. She seems familiar, like someone I have seen before, or maybe like someone I have fantasized.
Two witnesses were on Scene. An asian woman, of I am assuming Chinese descent who spoke no english. Approximately 60 years old, not sure what she saw or knows, am waiting on a chinese translator. The second witness was an Ami Thibedeau, first glance seems to make her a middle aged housewife, bored and shopping when she heard it whispered that the body has been found.. Unable to place the voice or speaker as anything but male.
The Crime scene was compromised before I could investigate properly… again, Sinner’s Rest PD is not exactly on top of their forensic integrity. On the upside, the rookie seems to have a sharp mind, if not experience.
5pm: I have been invited to a part at the 7 sins nightclub, given the furniture and open drug use, I am of the assumption this club is a brothel that caters to a very exotic taste. I will have to investigate further. Note: There is an exceptionally high number of attractive women in Sinner’s Rest. I can’t say that this assignment is painful on the eyes, even if it has been slow on the facts.
I have arranged to get a copy of photos taken of the unmolested crime scene, hopefully I can learn more from these. It will cost me a coroner’s report, but the examination could prove worth the cost.
11pm: I have went through the pitiful amoutn of information I have acquired thus far.. awaiting the coroner’s report and plan on visiting the victim’s father and principal tomorrow. I need to establish friends, relatives and others to form a proper suspect pool.

9 a.m. : Zoe’s Café, One DAMN good cup of coffee.. With the other perks of this town, I have to say I am quickly falling in love. Again, It seems that there is something in the water of Sinner’s rest, women from all stripes and social strata are lovely, flirtatious and .. tempting. My waitress could double for a starlet whose name I can’t place, or maybe just go into porn, which would no doubt pay the bills a bit better. Crazy town.. but, I am not complaining.
The visit with the victim’s Principal went well enough I suppose… but one would have to be blind to not notice the far away look.. the lascivious gleam in his eye when I mentioned Laura Dreadlow, he virtually oozed his desire across the desk, and was in no quick hurry to stand up after singing her praises. I don’t know why his having a literal hard-on for the victim angered me so.
Note: Check on his alibi this evening.
I did get a small list of acquaintances, and perhaps a lead on a boyfriend. I will be following these up in the next day or two.
Met a woman going by ‘Sakura’ the name could be as fake as her accent.. seems she is somehow tied to Mason, the creepy serial gawker at the party the other night. I’m betting by her reaction to my observations about him, she is some kind of significant other. May pay off to check this out further.
Things to check up on.. One ‘stubby’ seems to ‘own’ many of the girls in town. And apparently my informant seems to be under the impression that he is one mean hombre. He is tied to 7 sins, which is indeed apparently a brothel. Probably unrelated as our beauty queen seems to be quite the angel.
The Father didn’t answer his phone, or come to his door, will try again tomorrow as it’s already getting late.

4:30 a.m.: Phantoms on the water, and the slow drumming beat of my heart, the way it can be heard underwater… glimpses of flesh shrouded in plastic tarp, wearing it as elegantly as a ball gown. Her face is beautiful, when it shows terror and when it is coy.. I was irate when I woke, ending the dream.. but I did have a new found prupose to examine,’ 7 deadly sins’ more closely.
7 a.m.:Upon perusal of the of the coroner’s report, I am taken aback, again, at the accuracy of my dream. I saw Laura Dreadlow indicate the 7 Deadly sins.. each one marking her appearance.. and now a 7 appears under her fingernail. Her body showed signs of past abuse and she was apparently quite a fan of illicit narcotics. The sterling beauty queen is quickly tarnishing. What were you doing this last month Laura?

[8:10] Deep Male Voice: Its probably why the FBI would be here if they found it on her....
[8:12] Deep Male Voice: a little piece of paper with a number stamped on it carefully lodged under one of the fingernails
[8:13] Dita Actor : Oh? This is interesting .. are you .. are you ...you're not suggesting there's a serial killer out there are you?
[8:13] Deep Male Voice: Are your neighbours always so noisy in their lovemaking?
[8:13] Dita Actor: aye unfortunately budget cuts have meant the news paper gets an office in the .. well shit quarter basically
[8:15] Deep Male Voice: It's possible. Of course, I don't know for sure...just speculating.
(Sound of stilettos approaching and then fading in the background)
[8:16] Deep Male Voice: Odd. A pretty young thing like that just wandering the streets shortly after a murder of a similar girl.
[8:17] Dita Actor nods I think some people just aren't aware of the murder really... some people don't read the news...
[8:18] Deep Male Voice: so, I imagine you have had a long night of trying to put together a story about it?
[8:19] Dita Actors: That's a very good piece of news actually ... I think I might confront the special agent with it... see what sort of facts that might shake loose..
[8:19] Dita Actor : Yes I had to pull an all nighter... didn't get out of my party frocks till this morning!
[8:20] Deep Male Voice: yes, well, if its Dresden....it may take awhile.
[8:20] Dita Actor: Oh you know Dresden?
[8:21] Deep Male Voice: In a way.....lets just say he is a little eccentric, yes, thats the word for it.
[8:22] Dita Actor Eccentric? How.... is he.. you know..
[8:23] Deep Male Voice: I don't think its drugs...but...he likes to follow his "dreams"...he thinks he gets a channel to the spirit world or something in his dreams.
[8:24] Dita Actor :You .. are joking right? We're getting the agent on hallucinogens?
(Sound of female nervous laughter)
[8:26] Deep Male Voice: I did not say that.
[8:27] Dita Actor : No ofcourse not Mr Ninetails .. I understand.. anyway what is it that you do?
[8:28] Deep Male Voice: I just said I didn't know how he went about getting his "dreams"
[8:28] Dita Actor: Oh I see...
[8:30] Deep Male Voice: I go from town to town...I take personal security contracts...that is how I found out about the fingernail thing from an FBI buddy of mine....
[8:33] Dita Actor: ...And so the plot thickens.. Poor laura, she seemed such a good soul.. did you know she did meals on wheels?
[8:33] Deep Male Voice: really?
[8:33] Dita Actor : Indeed... she was very darling... helpful some might say angelic... a very sweet girl is what I'm hearing ...
[8:34] Deep Male Voice: yes, I am sure she was
[8:35] Dita Actor: Naturally the town being as small as it is is quite shaken up ... and now.. with your little tidbit .. I think i just might lock my doors tonight
[8:36] Deep Male Voice: I don't think you fit the profile Ms. Actor
[8:36] Dita Actor: Oh? How do you mean.. is there even a profile?
[8:37] Deep Male Voice: The girl in Beverly Hills...looked very much like this girl in this poster.
[8:38] Deep Male Voice: That is why I remarked on the delicate masculine look of the girl...the girl in Beverly Hills ...I think she was a TG.
[8:38] Dita Actor: Did she now? so you think the serial killer has a penchant for.. masculine looking girls?
[8:39] Deep Male Voice: You don't fit that look Ms.Actor.
[8:39] Dita Actor: Ah...
[8:41] Deep Male Voice: You have heard of TG's in this lil town haven't you?
[8:41] Dita Actor: Ofcourse.. you mean Transgendered folks?
[8:42] Deep Male Voice: Yes. Exactly.
[8:42] Dita Actor: Yes I've heard but haven't met many here
[8:45] Deep Male Voice: I had heard a long time ago about a town way up in the woods having a club that helped people makeover into TG's....and were pretty good at it too....
[8:46] Dita Actor: Oh? do you have details of this club?
(Sound of drawer contents being rustled)
[8:46] Deep Male Voice: You hear the wildest stories sometimes.
[8:47] Deep Male Voice: Just a little bit...you know how sometimes a story seems so off that it just sticks in your mind?
[8:47] Dita Actor: I do indeed.
[8:49] Deep Male Voice: Anyways, this club, is supposedly run by some kind of big wig, you know, someone with enough money to get past all the little niggly things like building codes, health regulations, things like that...
[8:51] Deep Male Voice: and its far enough off the government radar that they don't even realize its there basically...
[8:52] Dita Actor: Why would the government have an interest in a TG Club?
[8:53] Deep Male Voice: so anyways...this club...or how the story goes...the families around the area where this club is ...the long time families that is...would raise their kids to be sex slaves when they were young....
(Sound of gasp)
[8:54] Deep Male Voice: and beautiful still...and then of course they would get married off to some unsuspecting "new" family in the area when they got older...
[8:56] Deep Male Voice: but then, that one that was in the "new" family...would be on the lookout for particularly beautiful young people....
[8:57] Deep Male Voice: so that they could replenish the bloodlines with new blood....keep from getting stale blood...ingrown, sort of like the way they characterize hillbillys you know...
[8:58] Deep Male Voice: anyways, when they found a candidate they would let this big wig with the club know about it....
[8:59] Deep Male Voice: and the next thing you know...the "new" young person winds up missing...
[9:01] Deep Male Voice: presumably, they have been abducted and put into sex slavery in some kind of secret brothel and then the whole cycle repeats.
[9:02] Deep Male Voice: Pretty wicked little scam of a story don't you think?
[9:03] Dita Actor : Wicked indeed
[9:04] Deep Male Voice: The funny thing is...among the underground sex culture...the story keeps popping up...and I even heard of a little variation from it.
(Sound of rustling skirt)
[9:08] Dita Actor : Well.. thank you really for taking the time to tell me this.. it's all rather unexpected..
[9:09] Deep Male Voice: Oh, I almost forgot, how it relates to the TG thing...that is ...if you have the time..?
[9:09] Dita Actor: Is there anythingelse you think I should know..
[9:10] Dita Actor: Oh yes I have all the time you need
[9:10] Dita Actor : Let me make a fresh pot and you can tell me all about it
(Sound of clattering as if record button is being pressed and then re-pressed)
[9:12] Deep Male Voice: Now, where was I? Oh yes, the brothel and the girl in Beverly Hills....
[9:15] Deep Male Voice: So, anyways, occasionally, one of the youngsters goes off to college in one of the big cities...
[9:16] Deep Male Voice: and of course, coming from such a small place, their minds can get pretty twisted in that kind of atmosphere....
[9:17] Deep Male Voice: sex, drugs, and rock and roll !
(Sound of robust male laughter)
[9:18] Dita Actor : Indeed...
[9:18] Deep Male Voice: not to mention, they are already a little twisted coming from that place....
[9:18] Dita Actor: Indeed
[9:20] Deep Male Voice: well, one of them finds a culture of TG's their in the city...but the TG's are having problems getting needed medical attention....
[9:21] Deep Male Voice: and Doctors willing to do the transformation surgeries...
[9:21] Dita Actor : I can see that , getting any sort of doctor is hard ... I find.. we always have problems with trying to staff our hospitals and clinics
[9:22] Deep Male Voice: The laws and lawsuits of the big city combined with the never ending damning from the conservative bible thumpers...
[9:23] Deep Male Voice: well, anyways, this one youngster thinks she has a solution for their problems...
[9:24] Dita Actor: Oh?
[9:24] Deep Male Voice: she will take them up to her little town and they can have their transformations and pay it off with sex slavery...
[9:27] Deep Male Voice: they even come up with a story about why their youngsters are looking so odd...they say that its because of some old chemical dumping that got into the water supply !
[9:29] Deep Male Voice: Now how is that for a coverup...uh, our men look like women and our women look sort of like men because of toxic waste....hehahahahaha
(Sound of nervier female laughter as if forced)
[9:30] Dita Actor: Yeah... good one that...
[9:32] Deep Male Voice: Who knows? I might run into that town one day...wouldn't that beat all?
[9:33] Dita Actor: Perhaps...
[9:34] Deep Male Voice: So, Ms. Actor, how long have you lived here?
[9:35] Dita Actor: Here? not too long.. though I confess my home is actually in the bay area...
[9:35] Deep Male Voice: I see, so you're not a native?
(Sound of phone ringing and clatter as if record button is being switched off)
