“It is an old issue of the Backwater Chronicle, a local newspaper that ceased to be
decades ago. This issue is dated July 31, 1920. The local museum should see this!

light shining in from the entrance, you might be able to read it.”

“Police confirmed yesterday that missing Carola Parris, 22, is dead. Her body was
found on Wednesday in the woods near Copper’s Mill. The body of the popular
bank clerk is said to have been battered by animals, but according to a source who
wishes to remain anonymous, the cause of death was a cut to the throat.
Yesterday, a small crowd gathered in front of the Backwater Police station,
demanding vociferously an end to the series of killings of young women that
started with the death of Cecilia “Ceecee” Pickman almost a year ago. Deputy
Chief of police promised a “wholehearted” investigation.
The words “almost a year ago” have been underlined so heavily that they’re nearly
crossed out. “10 months 24 days” is scrawled in the margin with fading ink.”
10 months and 24 days before the date of the newspaper (July 31 1920) is September
7 1919.
