Personal Notes: information was given to me by victim of a previous case. Niece was abducted outside Manila. Girl found the next afternoon down by the river, incoherent. Research showed that previous victims to this one (3), all female, ranging in late teens to early twenties, matching physical descriptions. Traced it back to original case of Celine Jones in ’86. Recent victims report being grabbed off the road by a man they couldn’t see. Reports varied about what then occurred, but two consistent factors. All reported being raped, though there was no conclusive physical proof to support that. All victims reported shooting assailant with a gun that could not be found. The women came to under a tunneled bridge support a few miles from where they were abducted. Research begun with original case, Jones. According to police record, Jones went on a date with Jamie Wessex. Wessex’s official statement says that he picked Celine up in early afternoon, to take her for a picnic at the reservoir. He claims he fell asleep and when he woke, Celine was gone. He searched for her but didn’t find her. He assumed she walked home. Upon discovering that she wasn’t home, he told the parents that she had disappeared and they called the police. Jamie was subsequently detained. He was held for questioning in Celine’s abduction/ disappearance, though a body was never found. He was released, but had been arrested two years ago for an unrelated crime. He continued to maintain his innocence in the Jones case. Upon questioning Wessex on Jones’ mental status that day, Sam noted inconsistencies in his story and numerous references to his father. Investigation showed that Nathan Wessex died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Coroners report was sketchy at best. We decided to investigate the family home. We talked to Mrs. Wessex (living elsewhere), who explained that Nathan Wessex shot himself when Jamie was originally arrested. He was ashamed that he had a momentary lapse and tried to hide the fact from his wife. But when Mrs. Wessex woke to blood stained sheets, she rushed her husband to the emergency room. He died in the hospital. Coroner marked it as the result of an attempted suicide. No one seemed to think it strange that the gunshot wound was in the stomach, other than us. Mrs. Wessex attributed that to her husband’s inexperience with firearms.
While searching the former Wessex home (no one bought the home, though it was on the market for years), Max made it into what was previously Nathan Wessex’s study. In the built in bookcase, she found a hole, from which she pried a spent bullet casing. Upon examination, it was noted that the bullet was clean. (No blood or other matter aside from gunpowder and pressboard filament.) We then took our investigation to the original spot where Celine was assumed abducted. As we searched, Max was abducted. Knowing that the other victims showed up at the riverfront six miles away, we searched there. We found Max, shaken up, but physically unharmed under a bridge. She was digging in the tunnel wall behind some rotted boards. There we found what we believed to be the body of Celine Jones. I was ready to burn it, but Max insisted that we not. She claimed that she saw who abducted her, and that it was Nathan Wessex. It was not Celine haunting this place; instead Celine was rescuing these girls that Nathan Wessex continued to abduct. But in the process, Celine was showing the girls what had happened to her. Max recounted the tale, repeating Wessex’s taunts about how he had gotten away with it before. How the people who loved him covered for him. Celine managed to get free enough to grab the gun that Wessex threatened her with. She shot him through the stomach, though it did not appear serious. He taunted her and as he was torturing her, made notes in a diary of what he was doing to her. When he was finished with her, he buried her in the wall where she eventually suffocated. We reported the found skeleton to the authorities and the crime lab retrieved it. They will test to see if it matches Celine Jones.
That evening, we salted and burned the bones of Nathan Wessex. We arranged to talk once more with Jamie Wessex, about the diary that Max noted. But before we could, another woman was reported missing. Again, we found her in the tunnel. We managed to repel Wessex long enough to get her out of there. We were unsure how Wessex could still be around until Max remembered the diary and I remembered stories of mages that imbued inanimate objects with their own essence. We returned to the former Wessex house and searched the study. We found in a secret panel, the book that Max saw. It was a detailed record of every woman Wessex had taken, dating back twenty years before Celine. To keep any more women from being abducted, we burned the book right then.
Max returned with Dean to the State Prison. There they convinced Jamie to admit to the authorities about his father and what he knew. He informed them about the diary, but did not know where his father kept it. He was able to give the approximate location of where one body was buried.
Update- We recently heard that though the police were unable to find the diary, (obviously!) an exploratory search was begun. Investigators went back twenty years in missing persons reports, all for girls fitting Celine’s description, cross-referencing it where the Wessex’s had lived, cross referencing that with bridges, tunnels and caves. So far, they’ve managed to recover the bodies of four missing women. (Max says that she recalls other locations from her perusal of the diary and will call in anonymous tips if need be so that these families may have some closure.) Jamie Wessex was cleared of any suspicion in the deaths when the autopsy proved that one woman had been killed before he was even born. His charges were reduced to ‘failure to assist in the prevention of a crime, with prior knowledge of crimes committed’. Basically aiding and abetting. The sentence has been tacked on to his current prison time.

I still can’t believe that they managed to convince the prison warden that they were simply doing research on these professions. And I still don’t know how Max managed to come up with that visitor’s permit to visit Jamie Wessex. When I questioned her about the whole experience, she didn’t say much. (I suspect Dean has been giving her extra lessons in the art of forgery, but he denies it.) I was concerned about her abduction, but she told me that she only saw what happened to Celine. She didn’t experience it firsthand like the other abductees did. And while that is distressing enough, she seems to be handling the experience better than I expected. Well enough that she’s currently studying for her learner’s permit.
