An Indian, Female, Age 21

[You need to go back to reading from the Prologue: Smiling Block Murders if this is your first in this series]

Wednesday 15th February 4.00pm

Mrs Shepherd, a mother to a four month infant, was out this evening strolling her girl in the neighborhood on Venice Boulevard. As she playfully pushed the stroller along the pedestrian walk she hit a block beyond which the stroller would not move. She stretched her neck to see the block and saw a person. 

She bit her tongue thinking she ran her stroller into a vagrant. But as she pulled her cart back and swung around to apologize. She noticed the stroller tires making track marks in blood. Confusion followed by a scream.

It was ironical to find a dead under a wall that’s sprayed “Rest in Paradise”

LAPD rolled over the facedown victim. The victim was an Indian girl around 21. She wore the Pizza Hut lapel pin. LAPD quizzed the manager of the nearby franchise and he identified her to be Shruti Talwar, a student and a part time employee working the 9 to 2 shift. She had completed her shift and should have been on her way to her afternoon class. 

The body itself wore no id. The bag, the manager expected her to have was nowhere in sight. The one thing left behind was again this piece of paper.


Was the perpetrator collecting the victims belongs as trophies?
