Recovered Evidence // Case 002
The Investigation
They Thought The Victims Were Unrelated.
Four women disappeared between 1983 and 1985. Different lives. Different circumstances. Different scenes. Each investigation eventually stalled.
Then anonymous Polaroids began appearing in the case files. The photographs were disturbing, but the pattern behind them was overlooked.
This time, the entire archive is in one place. Compare the timelines. Read every statement. Track access and movement. One explanation connects all four disappearances.
