The day begins sadly but dutifully. The 17 of you begin to split out in three different directions, covering interviewing witnesses, checking paper trail, and investigating the area. As you move out, one of you checks by the morgue to see on the body, but it has disappeared overnight and is gone!
The group that interviews finds that there was a lot of activity, the train had just arrived after all, but it was focused here on the town, and nobody saw anything outside of it.
The group that checked the area find nothing but a few bent plants, no blood, no sign of heavy movement, nothing else.
The group that went to the library and courthouse, such as they are (Thurmond does not have official ones, just ones as part of other buildings) and manages to find something very interesting indeed.
It appears that about 20 or 25 years ago, the dates are hard to tell, land was purchased outside of the current city limits of Thurmond by one Alonzo Typer. His family built a summer estate there which later members have occupied at times for vacation, and Jacob Typer must have as well.
That brings some thoughts to your mind. Thurmond wasn’t here back then. This was very a quiet bit of land, with no roads in or out, and no people living here. Why would someone build a vacation estate here, of all places?
The Day One Task is Complete.
