Mysterious teenage death chain, alphabetical
Suze Brinkley
Police reported 25 unusual teenage murders within the past three months in Charlotte and the surrounding areas.
The police discovered three peculiarities so far about this unsolved mystery.
“Firstly, the names of the victims are in alphabetical, chronological order, beginning at the letter ‘b.’ Secondly, the murderer appears unbiased to gender, as they alternate male, female, male, female, et cetera. Thirdly, there seems to be some sort of rhyming scheme that may be the key to the said Mecklenburg County detective Bill Owens, Thursday, the day after the 25th death.
Owens has been working on the case since the report of the fourth death on May 17.
Last May, Amanda Hardie, 15, reported an attempted murder that may be the missing link to this alphabet death chain. Her injury complies with all three patterns and possibly makes up the first and last link in the teen murder chain.
