It's been on National TV. 

The obsession of the local newspaper. 

Fear in every resident's heart that compels them to lock their doors at night and to keep the dog loose. To never stay out past eight, or dark. 

The first body they found was of a young woman by the name of Kiera D. Reveille. 

It wasn't hidden, instead it was left on display outside the theatre where she worked. The local authorities thought it might be a crime of passion, although two weeks later - completely unrelated to their knowledge the editor of the Local Newspaper was hung by his tie from a light pole in Centre Square; in front of The Gazette's building. 

Nobody thought to link the two. 

After all; even though Cedar City is medium sized - it's not crime ridden, but sometimes violent things happen. 

Right? 

Three weeks after Kiera's body was found, a third body was put on display in the school yard. 

It belonged to P.E. and High School Football Coach; Sean Cole. He was found on the Football Field of the local High School, where there were mutilations on the body which were just as precise as the ones from the previous murders.

With no suspects in line, the media pressuring, and locals terrified to go out after dark on their own, the Authorities are scrambling for answers. 

It was the fourth victim that left the city shaken to it's core. 

Detective John Rogers; whose dismembered parts decorated his car with a message in blood written on the hood.

It was a warning. 

Will you heed it?
