Case file:
Four murders have been reported in 4 small communities outside of Des Moines Iowa. The area police have found nothing to indicate the 4 knew one another or shared any social activities. The cause of death is a simple blow to the head. Another similarity is all the victims are killed in one area and then transported to another more secluded area. In three of the four cases the victims were taken to a corn field outside of town. The fourth was taken to an oak opening at a wildlife preserve. These clearings have provided little forensic evidence- although all have had the remains of a camp fire that had been used several days.
The victims have ranged in age from a 32 year old female grocery clerk to a 61 year old male farmer. The Farmer was the first victim being killed near his tractor late one night and moved to a clearing in his own corn field.
The reason for the X-File involvement is the *odd* way in which the bodies are handled after death. They are stripped and wrapped in a all white bed sheet (typical K-mart special), then chicken blood is poured over the wrapped corpse. The last two victims had a cross made of branches places at their head. Believing this may be the act of a religious cult, the police contacted the FBI..who passed it on to the X-files.
