KORDAVA – In a chilling new development to a series of murders terrorizing the
southern districts of the port city of Kordava, the so-called “Little Luthien” Killer left
not only the remains of his latest victim in the harbor waters, but also a message to
authorities, disavowing himself of any involvement in the recent murder of local BCA
chief Hikaru Roneskovich, whose mutilated body was also found earlier this week at
his Kordava residence. Officials close to the ongoing investigation into one of the
most elusive serial killers in Towne history told INN this morning that the discovery
of the latest victim and a data disc bearing the killer’s message are still undergoing
forensic analysis under the direction of the Towne Bureau of Investigations.
“At this time, it’s hard to say exactly what the new evidence we've received will tell
us,” said the official, who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity.
“However, strong clues do indicate that we are dealing with the same suspect as in at
least five previous slayings.”
Inspector Frances Becca, the TBI agent assigned to heading the investigation, said
only that a sixth female victim, nude and mutilated was indeed recovered from the
waters of Kordava’s harbor, where five previous victims of the alleged “Little
Luthien” Killer had been found. Roneskovich, whose body was discovered two days
ago by a house servant at his west side Kordava apartment, similarly disrobed and
mutilated, was tentatively identified by local police as a seventh victim of the same
serial killer, but TBI officials have declined to confirm this speculation.
“While some of the events surrounding Mr. Roneskovich’s murder fit into the
established pattern of the so-called ‘Little Luthien ’ Killer,” Becca told INN in an
interview yesterday afternoon, “additional evidence gathered at the scene has
suggested that the Roneskovich case is unrelated, and that his killer or killers simply
used the ‘Little Luthien’ scare as cover for their own actions.”
Becca informed INN also that a composite profile on the ‘Little Luthien’ Killer has
been finalized by TBI and Kordava police, bringing authorities one step closer to
identifying and capturing the individual.
“Based on the available evidence,” Becca said, “we’re certain we are dealing with a
single male individual, most likely of Anglic descent and upbringing. He possesses
basic knowledge of human anatomy, and expert martial arts training. Moreover, given
the time between the attacks, we believe the individual is a resident of the district,
perhaps employed among the local fishing fleet or merchant marine.”
Becca declined to elaborate further on the TBI profile, saying that additional
information could compromise the investigation, but did caution Kordava residents not
to panic or jump to hasty conclusions regarding the killer’s identity.
“This investigation can only be brought to a successful conclusion with the
cooperation of the local populace and police agencies,” Becca said, appealing to all
citizens of Kordava and the surrounding towns. “Racing to conclusions is not only
counter¬productive, but could allow a killer to go free, while innocents suffer.”
Larisi Nakohama, mother of the last known victim of the “Little Luthien” Killer, 25-
year old dental assistant Shari Nakohama, has accused the Kordava police and the TBI
of not moving fast enough.
“My baby girl died because [Inspector Becca and the Kordava police] would rather
wait for some high-and-mighty Knight of the Republic come here to do their jobs for
them,” Nakohama told INN. “And before her, so many others. Now they say they
know something about who this murdering monster may be, but they’re afraid to say
because it will cause a panic? Have any of them any idea what it’s like to be a mother,
waiting at home anxiously waiting for her only living daughter to come home from
school because her sister’s killer is still on the loose?”
Becca told INN last week that a special Knight assigned from Terra is currently en
route to Towne to assist in the case, but has also stressed that the local authorities and
the TBI continue to pursue “every available lead” to bring a stop to these killings.
“Nothing would make me happier,” said Becca, “than telling the Terran Knight his trip
was wasted when he arrives.”
Towne Log
+ Two weeks later, and this is the best the TBI can come up with? A half-cocked
physcho-theory? Seven people are dead – that they know of! :- DefBones
+ Hey, don’t knock those profilers, DB. Some of those guys can nail a person without
waiting for forensics to get their hands on the DNA and fiber samples to prove it. Of
course, with all the bodies washing up in Kordava harbor, you’d think they’d have
that part too… :- LewCass
+ You know what gets me? They mentioned that a data disc was found on the last
victim, with a message from the killer. Now, maybe I’m asking too many questions
here, but (a) I’d wonder what was on that disc, and (b) I’d wonder how the killer
made sure it made it to the cops, if he dumped the body nude. :- MM009
+ Um. (a) They probably won’t tell us, MM, until they have a chance to analyze it for
prints, DNA, electronic traces, etc. As to (b), I certainly DON’T want to know. :-
LewCass
+ I’m actually intrigued by the fact that it seems the Kordava police and the TBI don’t
seem to agree who killed the BCA guy,
Hikaru what’s-his-name there. If I read that right, the local cops say it’s the serial
killer, but the TBI doesn’t agree. :- FMLurder
+ That’s because Mr. BCA’s murder doesn’t fit their perfect little model, FM. Now, if
I were the killer, I’d pull a few more hits like that, just to really throw folks off! If all
the TBI has to go on is a profile, breaking with it now seems like a pretty sound tactic
for a killer. :- DefBones
+ Let’s hope, then, he’s not as smart as you are, Def. :- Chungabunga
+ Say, has anyone seen Draco around lately? :- FMLurder
+ Don’t you get started now, FM! :- ModR8R039
