It's Finally Over.

We caught him, ladies and gentlemen.  Thanks to a tip from an anonymous source, the voice sounded female, but one can never be too sure, we discovered that Gregorio planned on attacking Sheila at her home.  I was able to gather a squad and wait out the attack.  When Gregorio arrived, we managed to make it in time for Sheila to remain uninjured.  Thanks to all of the evidence we've managed to continue documenting, it should be no problem for us to get a guilty Gregorio put away for a very, very long time.  He will never hurt another girl, especially not Sheila. 

To Recap

Gregorio is an old photographer of Nicole's, and an apparent former love interest.  She borrowed $500,000 from him and once the first of the month came and went, he decided to take action, and he ended her life.  He's been hiding out in Italy for the past few days, since Nicole died.  The Italian in the last message proved it was him.  I have reason to believe, from the past message, that he's tracking our movements.  He knows Sheila saw him kill Nicole, and he won't stop until all of this is over.  He even threatened me, an officer of the law.  Because of that, I've decided to take this case no further.  We can't risk both of our lives over a girl that's already dead. I will no longer pursue this case.

More Strange Messages

Sheila got this in her e-mail... I'm tired of these damn people harassing her! She hasn't done a thing wrong.  I'm beginning to worry for her life... I hope she makes it out of this alright.

I know it's Gregorio. How do we prove it?  We have got to figure something out to protect her.

I had to break it up so it didn't stretch out the screen. 

We know Nicole owed some man a lot of money... but what is this? 1s and 0s mean something in the computer world, don't they?

Weirder and Weirder

Got this picture text from Sheila: weird note...







Sheila was going through a few of Nicole's things today and this note was crumpled among her belongings.  It's not her handwriting, or the writing of anyone Sheila recognizes.

It seems to be some kind of code... 

E-mail

Sheila received a strange e-mail today.  Tried to trace the sender, but it was a one-time use site, and didn't come up with anything...

Sheila -
Let's play a game.

She really loved her job

But she might have been too good.

The girls she would rob

Naturally would

Want to win.

The men taking her pictures

Wanted her so badly.

When she spoke, it was scripture

Many loved her madly –

To the point of death.

I am her killer,

I’ll admit it’s true.

But which side of the camera am I on?

That, I’ll leave to you.

***

I get it, it's obviously either a photographer or a model... but which one?

Nicole Stanton Murder Case

Hello.  This is my first time blogging, so bear with me.  I've recently received this case, regarding a murder in NYC.  A Nicole Stanton, a rising model, was murdered out front of her apartment building, shot in the chest.  She bled out through a coronary artery.  Her best friend, Sheila Miller, found her and stayed with the body until we arrived.  Miss Miller informed me that before she passed, Miss Stanton said to her, "Find him... Before he finds you. He's watching."  This is disturbing.  I plan on remaining in close contact with Miss Miller throughout this investigation, since due to this statement.  As far as we know right now, Miss Stanton had no enemies in her life, however, I know that what things seem to be isn't always what they are. 

Signing off.
