REPORTER FOILS POLICE INVESTIGATION, SUSPECT STILL AT LARGE

RAPPANOC, November 1. The murder investigation of hunt country socialite Veronica Ashcroft-Wellman was foiled last night by a Representative reporter. As a result, two suspects, Michael Wellman and Alicia Barron, escaped. Wellman was later found dead, apparently trampled to death by Ms. Ashcroft's horse, "Lurking Grue." Barron's whereabouts are still unknown. The reporter allegedly confronted the two with evidence believed to identify them as the murderers rather than turning the evidence over to the police. A get-away car, previously parked behind the barn by Barron, was used for her escape. Wellman was killed when he entered the horse barn without any light, causing the horse to panic. "I have never experienced such a flagrant act of egoism before," declared the Detective. "The reporter deliberately interfered with my investigation, withheld evidence, and caused this aberration of justice."
