Local Doctor Questioned About Disappearance of Patient
 


Dr. Julia Hoffman 

The deeper the police look into the disappearance of Cassandra Blair, the more questions rather than answers, they seem to find. In their latest round of questioning, they interviewed Dr. Julia Hoffman in her offices this morning at Wyncliffe. Dr. Hoffman was Ms. Blair's doctor and the head of the hospital that Ms. Blair disappeared from. According to police sources, she was unable to give them any clues to Ms Blair's whereabouts.

"She was talking of starting a new life with the man of her dreams, but I put that down to her obsessive delusions," stated Dr. Hoffman.

When questioned about this 

mysterious man, Dr. Hoffman was unable to give his identity, but other members of the staff recall Ms. Blair referring to the man as Barnabas. 

In connection with the disappearance, police wish to interview Mr. Barnabas Collins, but he was unavailable for questioning.
