[Delta Green] Operas and Avatars: Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays

You work most of the afternoon in your hotel. Pizza boxes are now replaced with take-out boxes full of Chinese food. Soloman hits the phones while Andrew tries to dig something up on the computer. A woman from the Phoenix crime lab comes by to pick up the letter and envelope. She brings you the autopsy reports from West Virginia. The man found hanging from the tree had died from blood loss and trauma. Several small needle like wounds were found on the man's chest. It was believed that he was tortured before he died. The autopsy report on Mack Tooley is not very informative though lab reports do show that Mack Tooley had human blood and tissue in his digestive track.

The files on the Houston slayings don't reveal anything additional to what you already know.

Andrew sorting through the New Orleans Police Department database finds something interesting. A month before the Houston slayings there was a series of grisly murders in the New Orleans French Quarter. First there were disappearances and then, as the police and public became more vigilant, several bodies and parts of bodies where found stashed around the city. Three weeks into the murder spree a local man, David Charles, killed a unarmed homeless tramp who had broken into his home. A autopsy, which was made considerably more difficult because Charles ad emptied both barrels of a 12-gauge shotgun into the tramps abdomen, revealed traces of human flesh and blood in the tramps digestive system. The tramp was identified as Elijah Jackson, and his last know residence was St. Bartholomew's Shelter for the Homeless in Nashville, Tennessee.

Andrews will drop a line to the Orleans Parrish PD, and tries to get a hold of the Detective what worked on the Charles/Jackson case. He requests details on the case on the Jackson side of it, and asks to have the file sent over to AZ State Barracks. He asks if any contact was made with St. Bartholomew's pertaining to the case. He will also check TN records to see if there were any other offenders brought in on charges at the time that had been at the shelter.
 

"Nashville..." Solomon mutters as he gets to the end of Andrews' notes. "Didn't Nashville come p before?" He fumbles around in the papers a bit. "Yeah...the doc who autopsied Tooley quit after the autopsy and move to Nashville. WTF does that mean?"
 


"Right," Solomon nods and rubs between his eyes, as if to say, "Sorry, the body-finding coyote with disappearing tracks - not to mention Ken Braverman's intestines - have me spooked." He goes back to the new notes, attempting to piece together a new timeline while he waits to hear the results of Andrews call to NOLA. Solomon also wants to speak with David Charles, to get his observations and side of the story unless it was detailed very well by the New Orleans detective, so he'll contact the man by phone if the hour is still reasonable.
 

Andrews gets hold of a Detective McLance at the Orleans Parish PD. "Hello and what does the FBI want today?" says the detective in a upbeat tone.



Soloman gets David Charles phone number and calls it. He gets a recorded message that the line has been disconnected.
 

"Detective McLance, thank you for taking my call.", says Andrews. "We're profiling a case with similar instances to one you handled last year." Andrews mentions the Charles case, but quickly changes the subject to Elijah Jackson. "Do you have any idea how long he was in Louisiana? Was there any investigation into who he was and who HIS victim or victims were?" After some conversation and pleasantries, Andrews will request that the file on both parties in the case be sent over to AZ State Barracks.
