SHERLOCK arrives within minutes at the scene.

The ambulances are empty. The bodies, strangely unreal, were never taken to the hospital. He is not permitted to inspect them.

“Hmm, Watson. Something is amiss!”

A candle-light vigil is already in the works. Piles of teddy bears miraculously appear. Witnesses to grotesque horrors smile and wipe away non-existent tears.

The police are strangely unconcerned. The FBI is already involved. Press conferences with top state officials on the scene speak of “community,” “fears” and “We will be strong!” The perpetrator has been killed and whisked away. Facts about his life are known without the slightest research needed.

Hmmm, something is amiss.

Sherlock has never seen so much activity at a murder scene — and so little evidence of a murder.
