No Body, No Crime

Prologue

A/N: Alright guys, this prologue is basically a little teaser. Hopefully it will get you excited for what's to come! I'm hoping that the twists in this story won't be too obvious of guessable 😭ALSO this story is definitely going to have some mature topics, so you've been warned. AND the entire story is going to be in Stan's pov!!

By the time the sun rose on November 1, 1989, the entire town of Derry knew that Beverly Marsh was dead. When the police got to the scene, they found her weeping boyfriend, Bill Denbrough, clinging to her lifeless body.

Clearly Bill had never listened to a true crime podcast before, seeing as he broke the number one rule: Never touch a dead body.

Poor Bill Denbrough was locked up at the Derry Police Station for two days before his alibi witness came forward.

You may be asking yourself, if it wasn't poor little Bill Denbrough that killed his innocent girlfriend, then who did? The police are still asking themselves the same question.

You see, it's not common that a local girl is brutally murdered in a small town. It's even more uncommon that no suspect has been brought forward.

Beverly Marsh was declared missing at 7:32 p.m on Halloween night. She had been at a party hosted by her best friend, Mike Hanlon. The police were able to confirm she had alcohol in her system, and many partygoers claimed she had had multiple drinks. Of course, I wasn't at the party (not my kind of scene) and cannot confirm these claims.

Nobody claims to have seen her after the hour of six o'clock. At approximately 6:37 p.m, Mike Hanlon found that her car was still parked outside, but Beverly was nowhere to be seen. Soon after he began making calls to her friends and family, before calling the police at seven.

What happened to Beverly Marsh between 6 p.m and 5 a.m is still a complete mystery. The only thing known about her mysterious death is that someone had bludgeoned her in the head repeatedly. I can only imagine how painful that must have been.

No suspect has been brought forward since Bill Denbrough's brief arrest that dreary morning. Of course, many people have their suspicions of who really killed Beverly. Some believe it must have been her father, who was known to beat her and his wife. Others suspect it was Greta Bowie, Beverly's rival and bully in school.

If you want my opinion, I think there's only one possible murderer.

Bill Denbrough was let off the hook too easily.

I may not have proof yet, but I will.

Bill Denbrough killed Beverly Marsh, I just have to prove it.
