While the production crew is researching topics for the next show, they come across two stories that look promising.
Story #1:
* George Lewiston, a retired ATF agent, and some accomplice conspired to kidnap Regina Balfour, a 5 year old girl.
* Regina and her parents were shopping in a Target store when George started a commotion. While her mother, Marissa Balfour, was distracted the accomplice grabbed Regina.
* George continued on a rampage through the store which kept store security and the police response from responding immediately to the missing child.
* George took his own life before he could be apprehended, his accomplice was seen on security cameras but has not been identified.
There are a number of less prominent media outlets reporting additional details which have been spread by social media.
* When police were closing in on George he began ranting about some reliious group, things like "Their church is a lie", "The Passover Angel isn't what it seems", "You have to let me stop the cult".
* The Balfour family are prominent members in an eccentric religious group, the Church of the Passover Angel.Story #2:
Again social media and the less mainstream media outlets carry on with additional details.
* Officer Donnelley's death is unrelated to his investigation because it was an unpredictable suicide.
* Police are investigating this as a murder since some of the evidence is inconsistent with the way he died.
* They carry on with stories that all the owners of the house, including the ones that built it, came to a similar end.

OOC:
This represents the initial findings that might attract you to these potential cases. I hoped they'd appeal to spooky or conspiratorial leanings of the story, either to debunk or bring facts to light. If neither appeal I can put up a few other options.
