Many cases have been reported about missing ad murdered children whilst in front of their screens for the past couple of months... It was pretty weird at first to see the screens playing Minecraft, but after a few cross-tests, it is guessed to be a key point to the murders and kidnappings. I don't know who or WHAT is doing this, but they must be stopped.

== Case File #001 - Recorded on [REDACTED] ==
Victim: Amanda [REDACTED]
Documenter (Aliases only): Cerberus

My name is... You know what? Just call me Cerberus. I'm a private investigator somewhere in route [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. Enough about me though, the subject is about a certain teenager named Amanda. She's 16 years old and are extremely fond of playing minecraft since 2015. She's a student in [REDACTED], and was considered to be a pretty smart student among her peers.
I was first to arrive at the crime scene, observing the scrime scene, I knew that whoever did this was ruthless and silent. Spine dangling up their clothes hanger, head smashed into their computer screen, arms torn off and are missing. Whoever's doing this must be stopped as they might go for more people.
We talked to the parents first. They said that they left Amanda home to buy groceries, upon coming back, the just saw her dead. I asked further more asking when they found her dead and they said they remembered seeing her dead on 5:30 PM. After, we tried to talk to some neighbors who lives just across the street and we had no luck. Looking back at what we had, one of our privates saw a long electrical cord dangling up the roof and connecting to a hole on the wall. Upon further inspection, it was identified to be a dome camera, the type is unidentifiable due to the very bad condition it is in. Hopefully we can still extract some footage from the camera...
That's it for now... Cerberus out.
== Pre-Recording #001 Recorded on 1/3/2024 in [REDACTED] and aired on 1/5/2024 ==
Victim: N/A
Documenter (Aliases only): Egret
This is Egret speaking. I interrupt this program with a VERY, VERY important announcement... Ever since the first murder case related to minecraft last month, it has been very silent. Although it might be safe, you will still need to keep youselves, and your children away from Minecraft. You may go back to scheduled program. Egret out.
== Case File # 002 - Recorded on [REDACTED] ==
Victim: Timothy [REDACTED]
Documenter (Aliases only): Tango
File:
My name is Tango, I am here to report another case file for the string of murders/missing persons related to one of the best renowned video games, Minecraft. You don't need to know much about me, I'm just here to report the case. The victim is 12 year old Timothy [REDACTED], a student in [REDACTED], and only son of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. Timothy was considered a pretty smart child for his age, quickly processing complicated problems. It is unknown where Timothy had gone, his parents saying that, I quote; "One minute, he was playing Minecraft on his tablet, then the next time we looked to check on him, he was gone!"
I arrived second at the scene, with Cerberus already being there. We inspected the home but there was no trace of struggle, -or anything for that matter. The person that done this was very clean with the breaking in and kidnapping. We suspect that the kidnapper probably lockpicked the lock very carefully, after, they shot the victim's neck with a tranquilizer, knocking them out with ease.. Other than that, we still have other things to cross off the list..
Me and my colleague, Cerberus, asked people in the neighborhood if they have seen him, but to no avail. Checking camera footage from the victims parents doorstep, they quickly prompted us, saying that they never keep the cameras up 24/7 and that they only turn on the cameras in the nighttime.. More efforts are currently in action to try and find this missing person.
This was Tango, over and out.
== Case File #001 - Update on [REDACTED] ==
Documenter (Aliases only): Cerberus
File:
...You can call Cerberus, this is an update on case file number zero-zero-one regarding Amanda [REDACTED]. I asked the victim's parent if they have the camera filiming 24/7, to our luck, they said that they did, in fact, kept the camera recording 24/7. In response to the information, I asked them if me and my team can have the camera to look back at the footage, and they said that we could.
...After extracting the footage we could, me and my team played the footage, it was pretty glitchy, but not too glitchy. We played it back to 4:30, but she was already dead at that time. We played it further back to 3:30, and she was still alive. It was pretty normal for the first 30 minutes of footage, but quickly after the 30 minutes, our jaws dropped...
...While Amanda was playing Minecraft on her computer, her expression suddenly turned from happiness, scared, then horrified. We didn't know what she was looking at to prompt her expression to change so abruptly, as her computer case was blocking the view of her monitor screen. But about 3 seconds after, our stomachs churned, prompting one of our colleagues to quickly run into the bathroom and vomit. As Amanda was stunned in horror, she quickly threw her headphones on the couch and stood up from her chair very quickly. But as she was turning her back, a grey arm started to come out of the computer screen and violently slams Amanda's face into the computer screen, with blood all over the white wall. After, the back of her necks starts bulging, as if something was in her neck... It was her spine. It suddenly levitated and threw itself very violently on the clothes hanger rack. Both of Amanda's arms get ripped off, knocking her computer case over, the arms suddenly fly into the computer screen, disappearing...
...Seeing the footage, my mind was filled to the brim with questions, such as; "Who or What is doing this??", or "Why are the doing this??" - I was extremely overwhelmed. The pressure on me to solve this case slowly grew larger and larger throughout the day went on..
That's all for now, Cerberus out.
== Case File #003 - Case recorded on [REDACTED] ==
Victim: Anthony [REDACTED]
Documented (Aliases only): Searcher
File:
Hi, you can call me Searcher, I'm an investigator currently chasing leads related to this case, either far-fetched, or kinda close & logical. The victim is Anthony [REDACTED], but let's just call him Anthony for now. He was a 17 year old boy who used to live in a dorm room with a roomate who was a close friend since elementary. According to his roomate, Anthony really had a passion for Minecraft and excitedly waited for every update for the game as the days went by.
I was first to arrive at the scene, seeing it was a really messy crime scene. Blood was splattered all over the damaged monitor, the completely shattered window covered in blood, an eyeball under the bloodied bed, I looked down from the window, and there it was, Anthony's body ten stories down below. Upon first glance, I suspected that it was suicide, but it was quickly crossed off the list cause... Who the hell would rip their own eyeball off before jumping out of a window?? Anyways, it was also crossed off as Anthony's roomate quickly told us that Anthony was the most optimistic in their class; Anthony's classmates also said the same thing. Anthony would also clearly not throw himself off a building.. I would know cause he was one of my nephews... I guess you can see know why I try to solve this case so desperately..
We interviewed Anthony's roomate first, first suspecting that this was murder... That was also quickily removed from the list as Anthony's roomate told us that they were selling cupcakes at the time of Anthony's death ~which was guessed to be around 3:00pm to 4:00pm. More updates on the case will be made soon.
Searcher out.
