In what appears to be a rash of kidnappings, several freshmen students from the Carroll School of Management at Boston College have gone missing (several being about half of an micro-economics class and two-thirds of a business ethics class, close to 30 students in total). There were signs of a struggle in some of their homes and dorm rooms, but no signs of forced entry or suspicious fingerprints in any of them. No notes for ransom have been received. A few of them were acting strangely, as freshmen are wont to do. Some of them were friends, but not all. No one knows where they have gone or why but college officials are quite concerned.
In other news, a large flock of geese (coincidentally about 30 of them) have landed and taken up residence in Boston Public Garden. They are incredibly noisy and aggressive, even for geese, chasing patrons through the Garden and refusing to eat the pellets fed to them. They will eat bread, though many of the female geese are refusing to do even that and are starting to look a bit emaciated. Fanciful types might say that the geese are trying to communicate, but Park officials laugh at this premise. No one has been injured yet, but officials are worried about patron safety if the geese continue in their aggressive, almost panicked behavior.
Thank you for your attention.

turned her classmates into geese. If anyone needs a crime to solve or just wants to play with the increased geese activity, feel free to have fun!
