A completed page to accompany the previous. This is a wrap around reveal rather than a double page spread. I wanted the juxtaposition to be pretty disturbing. Conveniently these newer pages offer an explanation for later on during the scene where Cleo throws out her uneaten food.

Definitely not an accident. The case must be further investigated. I hope this case doesn't just close out and the family of the victim doesn't get to know the truth. Hoping to see the proper conclusion of this case in the near future.

Joshua Maddux was an 18 year old boy who played guitar and was described as a very kind kid.

He left his house on May 8th 2008, and told his father he was going out for a walk. Well Josh never returned home and was missing until 2015.

Josh was found in a chimney 2 blocks from his fathers home. The chimney was located in a cabin that had been abandoned for 10 years. Joshua was found when the owner decided to demolish the cabin in order to build something new.

Josh was found in fetal position in nothing but a shirt. The rest of his clothes were found within the cabin.

The medical examiner stated there were no signs of trauma and declared the death “accidental.” However Chuck Murphy the owner of the cabin isn’t convinced.

Murphy said there was a steel webbing installed over the top of the chimney to prevent raccoons and other critters from crawling into the chimney and that it’s impossible for Josh to have climbed down the chimney.

“There’s no way that guy crawled inside that chimney with that steel webbing, He didn’t come down the chimney.” Murphy believes Maddux was forced into the chimney.

Murphy said it’s ridiculous to think an 18 year old teenager stripped down to just his shirt and climbed up on the roof to slide down a chimney knowing he’d be stuck.

Theres a man who had been heard bragging about killing Maddux, saying he “put him in a hole.” The police said he did have a long history of violence and a criminal record. However they couldn’t place him in Woodland Park Colorado at the time of the disappearance.

The mans name is Andrew Richard Newman, there are stories circulating of people who knew him personally. Apparently Andrew had been known for the vile things he had been involved in, but most charges against him in previous cases were dropped due to lack of evidence.

Multiple people have stated Josh went missing near the time Andrew had went off the deep end, and Multiple people believe Andrew is indeed the murderer.

However Andrew is out and about living his life freely still, and Joshua’s case remains and “accident.” 

The fact that fig-seed he consumed while he was still alive; sprouted, and, further became his body's landmark is amusing. I hope the people responsible for his death would be caught and punished.

Dead man found after a fig tree grows from his stomach.

Ahmet Hergune was missing for over 40 years. 

His sister Munur Hergune said “We used to live in a village with a population of 4000, half Greek half Turkish. In 1974 the disturbances began, my brother joined the Turkish resistance organization. On the 10th of June the Greeks took him away.”

The fig tree was first discovered in 2011. It caught a researchers eye given it was a fig tree and fig trees don’t grow in that area. Upon digging and collecting information, the researcher found Ahmet.

Once police arrive they actually found 3 bodies in total. Investigators figured out that Ahmet was taken with 2 others and thrown in a cave. Once they were thrown in the cave dynamite was thrown in killing the 3.

However the dynamite created a hole in the side of the cave wall creating an opening for sunlight to shine through.

Munur stated that her brother was believed to have been the one who had eaten the fig, later investigators discovered that Ahmet had eaten the fig shortly after he died.

Chapter 1: Five Hours Before Death

"AMELIA!" My boss exclaimed as he walked over to my desk.

"Yes, sir, do you need something?" I say while still looking at my computer.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I need you to tell me about my agenda for this afternoon," he says urgently while looking at his watch.

"Ah well, sir, you have a one-thirty meeting with one of the board of directors and a six o'clock dinner reservation with the misses" I told my boss while looking up at him.

My boss looks at me and says, "Before I leave for my one-thirty, I need you to come to my office; I need to speak to you about something urgent. Got it."

"Yes, sir, I understand," I say, confirming it.

'What does he want to tell me? Oh, I hope it isn't what I found out a few days ago,' I thought as I looked back at my computer. Two days ago, I found out that my boss: Nicholas Anderson, had an illegal import business up and running. And in turn, he paid the mayor to keep quiet about everything. I shook those thoughts out of my head, focusing on my work.

Time flies by and now it is twelve-thirty. I get up from my desk and head to Mr. Anderson's office on the next floor above. Walking over to the sliver elevator doors, you press one of the buttons on the wall next to the doors. The doors open, and you step in, turning around while the doors shut, pressing the button heading up to the next floor. Hearing the irritating music blaring into the rectangular box, the doors open; indicating, that I am on the next floor.

Walking up to his door, I knock, telling him that I am there. "Come in," Mr. Anderson said. I open the door and walk into his office. Noticing a few pictures of his family here and there, he looked up from his computer.

"Ah, excellent timing Ms. Cameron; I was about to call you up," Mr. Anderson said as he pushed himself up from his black leather chair, making eye contact with you.

"May I ask what this is about; you made it seem crucial," I said looking curious but deep down I know what he may say.

"Uh, yes, I know that you found about my uh business. I must warn you if you tell the authorities or anyone for that matter, you might not get to be forty. Am I clear?" Mr. Anderson says

"Ye-ss, sir-r," I said, fear plastered onto my face.

"Good, then you may leave." I placed my hands onto the arms of the chair, pushed my legs up, feeling the pressure of standing. I leave the room and head back downstairs, thinking of what he was saying.

The day went by faster than the flash himself, a mixture of colors; pinks, oranges, and yellows stating that the sun is setting within the west. Shutting everything down and grabbing my purse and coat. I look down at my watch; which looks like it is from the nineties, and it reveals that it is 8:50 p.m. 'Huh has it been five hours already; who would have thought' I left the gray building and straight to my 1999 navy blue chevy corvette. I slammed the car door closed as I sat down in the driver's seat. I took out my keys from my purse so that I could start the engine. My keys have two keychains attached to them; one of them is a Slytherin crest, the other is a Gryffindor crest. I placed the keys into the ignition and turned it. The engine roared to life, I got strapped in and I reversed back into the parking lot to head the main road.

It did not take long for Amelia to get to her apartment. She pulled into the parking lot outside the complex, making sure she did not touch the curb, she turned off the engine and took the keys out of the ignition. She grabs her purse, slips her hand into door handle to open it. The door opens and she steps out into the crisp cold air. She steps onto the sidewalk and looks back to her car. Her car was shining from the light created by the lamp post. The wind blowing against her skin, the hair on her skin standing up and she gets a shiver crawling down her spine. Amelia did not pay attention to the ever-growing feeling within the pit of her stomach as she started climbing the stairs to the second floor.

I got to the top of the stairs of the second floor. I walked down the hallway a little bit to reach my apartment. It was about five minutes of walking; I reached my apartment: number 4. I looked over to my right and saw the door where my neighbor Minerva Barnes lives. 'She is such a sweet woman' I thought as I grabbed my keys to unlock the door. I got my keys into the lock, and I unlocked the door. As I was stepping into my apartment, I am suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of dread; like I should not have entered the apartment. Due to the lights not working, it gave me an eerie and creepy feeling to the atmosphere of the apartment.

It kept getting stronger as I took off my coat, my shoes, and when I placed my keys into the tray. I turn around and locked the door. I went into the kitchen, grab a small glass from one of the cabinets, and went over to the sink to get water. Placing the glass down, I went to turn the faucet on when everything went black. What I did not know right now was that my time to pass on had come.

Opening my eyes, I squint at the moonlight shining through the teal curtains. I tried to move but could not. I looked down and saw my hands were bounded. I turned my head so that I can see my feet, turns out my feet were also bounded.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you" someone said while standing in the shadows.

"Who are you? Why are doing this?" I asked fear rising within me.

"Did you really think he wouldn't know that you were gathering evidence to give to the police? I mean, Mr. Anderson knew that you knew about the business, so he made an educated guess, and what do you know he was right after all." The figure said while chuckling slightly. 

Fear took ahold of me once I realized what he was talking about. You see, I have been gathering up evidence on my boss. Apparently, he has been bribing the mayor to cover up his import business. I look back at the figure wondering who they are. 

"Who are you?" I asked as I stare into the shadows. 

"That is unimportant lady" he said while pulling something out of his pockets. I couldn't tell what it was, but the feeling grew even more stronger as it was before. The figure then walks out of the shadows. His body was slightly brightened but you couldn't make out his face. 

Since you now have a semi-clear view of the man, you notice that he had a Glock 19 9mm Compact. Your grandparents taught you how to hunt and when you were older you went to the shooting range, so you know different types of guns. You watch as he loads ammo into the gun. You look back at the curtains taking in the light of the moon. Hearing footsteps behind you, you realize that the man had walked up to you from behind. 

'This is it; this is how I go out, huh' I thought as I felt the gun was placed on the back of my head. I opened my mouth tasting salt, which meant tears. I was so scared I didn't realize that I was crying. The tears were flowing down my face at a rapid pace as the man pulled the trigger.

**BANG**

Amelia fell to the ground as blood flows out of her head. Blood spatters across the lightly colored walls and floors turning them crimson red. The man walks towards an open window. Putting the gun back into his pocket, the man got up onto the windowsill. The man looked back at the body, blood pooling around her and glistening in the moonlight. The wind blowing steadily as the man jumped out of the window and onto the pavement below. Walking away from the crime the man had just committed, he wore a sadistic smile on his face.
