The Spire Murders

The Spire Murders is a well-known series of killings that have occurred in five different places in the years 2004-2011.

Due to its notoriety, the case was investigated secretly. However, in the winter of 2011, just months after the most recent murder, bandits managed to enter the main office and spread the documents on the Internet, where it gained fame ever since.

Maria DeVille
Maria DeVille was the daughter of a famous supermodel known to have a kind heart and was called by others "The Shining Jewel" due to her beauty. Her father had died in a car accident when she was three, but she took it no heed, and her kindness finally took the killer's attention.

In the second day of April in 2004, after she gave away donations for their town's poor people, she decided to pass by her father's grave. A passerby, seeing Maria, waved hello before continuing on her walk.

Sadly, that time will also be the last time one will see her alive.

The same night’s evening, her mother, Florence DeVille, went to the police station just blocks away from their house to report her daughter’s disappearance. They soon called a rescue team to help them with the search for Maria. As the search team went to the mountains, they received a call from an anonymous caller saying that he saw a body approximately three meters from their position. They soon split up to continue with the search, and one finally saw Maria’s body.

Maria’s body was horribly mangled as to be almost unrecognizable. Her head was also missing. Autopsy suggested that she had attempted to escape but was stabbed multiple times in the back.

Florence, hearing this tragic report, soon suffered from a heart attack and died past 3 AM.

Both were buried at the family’s funeral garden with Maria’s just beside her father.

Yvette Saron
Yvette Saron was a young singer whom everyone said to be glam and elegant. Her first debut, a song named Silk Jealousy, gained worldwide attention, but ever since the murder, the song was derived inaccessible.

It began when a massacre ensued in 2007, killing her family. Elene Saffodil, her closest friend, witnessed the whole event, traumatizing her to the point that she committed suicide two days later.

Yvette disappeared downright after five hours, causing the police to debate whether she also committed suicide, but her body was never found. As her friends were interviewed, one added that she owned a diary, and the police soon went to their house, but unfortunately, no diary was seen.

A week after the murder, an anonymous sender mailed a package containing her diary, in which her last entry told of her pity over Elene.

What baffled them though was her last writing, the words I was subdued by fears, horror and

The rest of the words were proved unreadable due to blood stains, which tests suggested was Yvette’s.

Theresa Jones & Leslie Falle
Theresa Jones and Leslie Falle, as said by people in their town in Florida, were best friends known to always merrily sing in the neighborhood. Theresa is said to have a short temper but is respectful whilst Leslie was shy and prone to accidents.

It was on the fifteenth day of September in 2009 when they were murdered. As usual, Leslie was with Theresa when shocked neighbors saw them both run off into the night.

The next day was greeted by a sudden call from the Falles about the grisly sight of the dead family. The couple was shot multiple times, and in the bedroom both Theresa and Leslie’s horribly mutilated bodies lie on the floor. In Theresa’s pocket was a note from her mother saying that she has to kill her daughter or Theresa might find out the truth that she murdered Theresa’s father, which suggested that Theresa’s mother is the killer.

Authorities had the case closed immediately as the result of media attack.

Anna Guzman
Anna Guzman was a pianist who is not much known but usually performs at the city stage along with her classmates on weekends. As such, she was well-beloved by her family and friends and always gets together in reunions.

In one reunion in 2010, however, she didn’t appear, and family members were bewildered, so they set out to find the missing child.

Antonio Guzman, Anna’s uncle, was said to have been murdered days earlier, but the authorities reported no such case.

A week after the case was closed, the family went abroad.

Not much is known about this crime as a result.

Cassie Nevele and Derek Samoe
This murder is the last murder in the series. Cassie is relatively famous for her close friendship with Derek Samoe, the mayor’s son. Cassie was polite and nice, while Derek was courageous and often helped with the police.

Both disappeared in the evening of September in 2011, which was the day where they were supposed to go to the city’s celebration.

It was after two days when they were found. Cassie’s intestines were pushed out, and severe cuts to the arm were found, probably done in front of Derek’s eyes. Derek’s body, however, was horribly mangled, a sign that the murderer pleasured in torturing him to death.

The officials deemed it necessary to cover the case.

Aftermath
Soon after the last murder, police forces found crucial evidences on each murder.

At Maria’s beloved silver necklace, which was found at the site where she was killed, the word “Spire” was etched into it.

Same went to Yvette’s diary, Leslie’s emerald bracelet, Anna’s grand piano, and Derek’s armband, which the police said as clues.

As researches were conducted, a blood stain from the murderer was found at the Falle residence, helping the officials track down the DNA match.

Unfortunately, Samula Jones, the murderer, committed suicide as soon as she knew that police forces were about to arrest her. As such, the case was immediately closed, and the police never said a word about it ever since.
