1. Threatening note on Willa’s windshield. Told to leave the ten-years-ago investigation alone.
2. Threatening note left on Teacups’ door for Margo. Local always better.
3. Pink letter meant for Lucy and June. Ended up with Lacey. “Maybe it’s time we met face to face.” Included phone number.
4. Note shoved into Holt’s pocket. Told to back off unless they wanted to hurt him.
5. Note on Rad’s windshield. Warning him to leave town and back off the investigation.
6. Note on Harvey’s windshield. Warning that this was not his fight and next time his car would do more than break down.
Holt moved to the third column and wrote in red:
FIRES
1. Ember Lake and Memorial Campground fire. Appears to have started from an illegal campsite. Red gas can found near abandoned site. No major injuries.
2. Henderson Farm fire. Started in the back fruit fields. Jumped to reserve behind the farm. Red gas can found. No major injuries.
3. Original vet office fire. A gas canister was thrown into the front entrance. Entrance barricaded from the outside. Fire also started at the rear exit. Another gas canister was thrown into the bathrooms. Lacey and Margo were inside at the time. Neither was badly injured.
4. Teacups fire. We initially thought it was caused by a faulty plate on the stove. Accelerant found. Not an accident. Margo was trapped inside. Child rescued through the bathroom window. Rad went in after Margo. Both were hospitalized with significant smoke inhalation.
At the fourth column, he used green and wrote:
ACCIDENTS / VEHICLES
1. Lacey Peltz run off road. Hit twice at rear by following vehicle. Vehicle rolled down embankment. Lacey not badly hurt and called it in. Truck belonged to Lucy Tanner.
2. Judy Vernon’s blue sedan hit at Henderson Farm while parked. Hit-and-run. No recording because cameras were down. Henderson sent sedan to repair shop in Gainesville and arranged rental car for Judy.
3. Tyler driving with Mina in empty lot near beach by lighthouse hit parking barrier pole. Front-end damage to Mina’s blue Lincoln. Checked and verified.
4. Judy Vernon found unconscious in passenger seat of rental car at Hollow Pond. No clear signs at pond that another vehicle was involved there.
5. Duplicate truck:
a. Rear markings consistent with being the vehicle that hit Lacey’s truck twice. Blue paint transfer present.
b. Additional rear impact mark suggests third bump, also with same blue paint transfer.
c. Front bumper had earlier knock from Margo hitting stone barrier at yacht club during deliveries. Also had newer scuff marks with paint transfer matching Judy Vernon’s rental car. Rental car not yet fully processed.
Then he moved to the fifth column and wrote in purple:

1. Smoke inhalation from fires: Lacey, Margo, June, Rad.
2. Lacey. Blunt-force trauma to back of head when lured to burnt-out cabin at Ember Lake and Memorial Campground. Memory loss around attack.
3. Judy Vernon. Chloroform traces indicate she was likely rendered unconscious during kidnapping.
4. Judy Vernon. Blunt-force trauma to back of head likely before rental car went down embankment at Hollow Pond. Currently in a coma.
Finally, in brown, he wrote the sixth heading:
