[As much as this is a difficult post to make, Re-l's voice is firm and unwavering in its delivery throughout, as though the news doesn't affect her any more than the other gruesome things that occur every day.]
Miles Edgeworth has disappeared from Siren's Port. He didn't call into work on Sunday and his NV has stopped working as of Monday morning. A missing report has been filed with the SPPD and his disappearance is still being investigated, but it's more than likely that he's gone home. There's no suspected foul play as of this time.
[She pauses.]
I'm truly sorry that I have to make this announcement to all of you. I know he was a good friend and close to many people here, and the first Newcomer prosecutor in Siren's Port. Hopefully, he's back home, safe and sound.
Sam and I will be taking care of things for now until everything gets settled. His cases and work will be dealt with and I'll make sure that the best defense attorney in the Port sees to them. But please be aware that without a Newcomer defense attorney present, you'll need to look elsewhere if you need to be represented in court. I'll work on getting that contact information out to you all as soon as possible. The Newcomer Fund, too, will be taken care of, so don't worry about any of that.
[That...should be it for now. She knows she should say something about the will she's just found out about today, but it isn't anyone's business except for those who will be given letters. After a few minutes delay, she finally adds one last thing:]
If anyone needs me, I'll be in his office, going through his belongings so they can be collected.

Franziska von Karma is in charge of the Newcomer Fund now. I'd like to propose that she be put on the committee, if the idea is amenable to her. If not, I think we need to look for another member to replace Mr. Edgeworth for now.
