Mystery woman dead in "arson attack."
Fire fighters were called to the Stranger's Farm district this morning as a single story home was engulfed in
flames. Like many in the area the house appeared to have been abandoned said Chief
Tibbs: “As soon as the fire was under control we sent a crew in to
verify. Unfortunately we found the remains of what appears to be an adult
female.”
The Medical Examiner was called to the scene and after examination, declared that he would have to perform an autopsy before a cause of death could be determined.
Chief Tibbs wouldn’t confirm it was arson. He also stated that he wouldn’t rule out that

Chief Tibbs wouldn’t confirm it was arson. He also stated that he wouldn’t rule out that
possibility. “It’s something we’re looking into.”
The fire was reported by an unknown caller around 2 A.M according to sources in the police department.
If this is arson, it will not be the first in this area. Stranger's Farm has been the focus of a crack down on drugs and other illegal activity.

City Council to vote on new fees for exotic pets
Police are investigating a break in at
the City Center's Blood Bank. According to police report, the breakin
occurred just after this weekend's blood drive.
Police refused to confirm early reports that bloodbags had been torn open and apparently drained, leading to speculation that the thieves were part of a blood cult.
The robbery is one of a spate of crimes on medical facilities recently that has even included the theft of whole bodies from a local hospital morgue. As yet police have made no arrests. A substantial reward has been offered by local hospitals for information leading to arrest.

Blood Bank Raided
Darkness Falls
Members of the Darkness Falls City Council met today to vote on the proposed increase of fees for those who own exotic pets.
The increase was met with mixed reaction at the council meeting. In a vote of 8-3, the fees were kept at the current rate. Several citizens protested this as they deemed keeping exotic pets a hazard.
“Why should I be in fear of my life just because someone wants to keep a cougar! They’re dangerous and belong in a zoo, not someone’s house!” said Mrs Teasedale of Moon Street.
