Department for Miscellaneous Deaths

The Department for Miscellaneous Deaths was founded in 1950 following a string of particularly puzzling and gruesome homicides and disappearances in the East coast portion of the United States. The documents contained therein are the documentation of supplementary evidence and findings on various phenomenon too abstract or complex for State-level authorities to parse alongside daily services.
Some evidence may become subject to censorship and/or removal upon Federal inspection.

Anderson,
Look, I don’t know if the higher ups are pissed that this thing’s been laying around unedited for months now, or if they’re the ones who’ve kept it from being updated at all. But this case has been going nowhere for a LONG time. I think it's time we shelved it and didn’t look back. Don’t ask me why, but I got this feeling that probing into it will earn us more trouble than it's worth. I mean hell, that last stiff was one of our own. And did you see that last scan? Even brains with bullets through them don’t look like that…at least, from what I can remember. Things have been fuzzy ever since those Federals showed up to scribble on it. I'd have taken complaints to the chief, but I don’t think we even got names or badges from the suits. I don’t know. Just deal with it already. I’ve got dinner with my family tonight, and I’m tired of having to excuse myself for Tylenol breaks.
Jamie
