Far off island finds 10 Corpses



What guests thought to be a private vacation turned out to be to be a series of mysterious murders with an anonymous killer which was presumed to take the role as one of the guests. There were 10 guests that arrived on Indian Island thinking that it was a time to relax the name of the guests are Anthony Marston, Mrs. Ethel Rogers, General Macarthur, Thomas Rogers, Emily Brent, Lawrence Wargrave, Dr. Armstrong, William Henry Blore, Phillip Lombard, and Vera Claythorne dying in that supposed order. Each of these victims was murdered or was possessed to murder themselves in a psychological influence of the killer. Deaths involved forms of cyanide poisoning, overdose of choral or physically harming weapons. None of the law enforcement right now can tell who the killer was as it remains a mystery only assuming that one of the guests was in fact the killer which is the only fact that can be predicted with 10 corpses though no suspect. Fred Narcott, a civilian often made errands for the estate, but only can say, “I couldn’t make the trips to the estate with the weather conditions and such I wasn’t even aware of who the owner was at the time or who was hosting these people, though not once did I think this island would be a place where anyone would be found dead . . .”. Each murder took place on several different days in the month of August starting with the arrival on the eighth of the month. On the other hand police investigated this matter thoroughly when as an elderly women miles away that remains anonymous claiming that she heard the gunshot over the quiet waters of the early to afternoon hours. In retrospect the women claim cannot be verified as accurate not knowing enough information, but has been documented knowing that she is a civilian of a local town miles from the location. She comments, “It was the early hours I didn’t even know what to expect, but I could have sworn that I heard the faintest noise in the distance over the water . . . along with a flock of shocked birds, but I didn’t really know what to expect at that point in this matter until I heard later on the bodies were reported.” There were also other reports during the early hours claiming that there had been a delay claiming that two gunshots had been fired off the set of the residence of Indian Island. One of these reports was from a man who happened to be passing by while walking near the beach. “The firing times were off by a lot I remember that as I was taking a stroll in the first signs of clear weather that we have had during the past couple days, but as the opportunity came about during this long period of time I heard a low sound coming from over the water. Sometime after is when I heard an even louder sound from across the water in which I questioned and reported immediately . . . though I had no clue about any of those people or had any relations with any of the following.” This is all the information that is presently acknowledged at the moment, but there will be more reports over the next few weeks bridging the investigation that remains a mystery at the moment.
