Washington State Police Department, 2/6/94 - News Report

Washington State has lived with a mysterious killer among them as around 12 people have gone missing under similar means. The people missing have not been found until today as their bodies were found dissected, unclothed, and rotting in a celler. More details on their report have been withheld until a further investigation is made. Officer Cage Mortimer has saved a 6-year-old boy at the time in the presence of the man who has now been identified as Buford Cox who worked as the bartender at the local bar. The town of Maple Falls is relieved to be able to finally be safe from the "Washington Hare".

Present Day.

20 years later after the Washington Hare case was closed, the now 26-year-old man comes forward to tell what it was like with the killer personally. He posted a homemade video but the room he was in was to dark and not fully able to be seen well. This was that recording:

"Hello there, I'm Jonathan Browne. 20 years ago was when I learned something in life that I still live with to this day. I was only six at the time when I'd heard early that year that people started to disappear from their homes or simply vanished. Because I was young back then, I didn't pay much attention to it much and only did what my parents would allow me at the time. One day we were going to the park with my mom and dad but I always plated by myself due to being an only child. I was quite lonely and my parents were giving much attention to me as they mostly just gossiped with the other people in town. Over some time I noticed a man that was by himself like I was, so I thought we can get to know each other better as he looked like a nice man I thought, this was back in 94' so "stranger danger" wasn't that big back then. So when I started to talk with him, he was very polite and was a little goofy when making jokes until it was getting late and he asked me a question.

"Do you want to see something super radical?" he asked with that lustful grin of his.

My eyes grew with wonder on what it could be. Back then when someone used the word "radical" it meant something really awsome so I went with him forgetting about my distracted parents at the moment. It was a mistake that I won't forget.

Something hit me hard on the back of my head and I blacked out as I was stuffed in the back of the man's car I was told. My memory was only bits and pieces of what happened but I remember waking up to a room that smelled of decaying waste and feces. I was stuck on an operating table strapped down by my hands and feet, there was also one around my throat that would rub and choke me when moving my head in any direction. Looking down at my body, my clothes were removed, making me naked as the heavy light from above was blasted down on my childish body. I tried to struggle free but then a large rusted door opened from the top of the stairs and there stood a man wearing a rabbit's mask staring down at me.

The rabbit masked man stood there with a hammer in his hand and a smiled at me. He started hopping down the steps one at a time.

"Hop, hop, hopping down the bunny trail, hippity hop, all the way, DOWN!"

The sound of the loud bang when his feet hit the sticky floor shook me as it made an echo in that small cramped room.

"Hello there, hope you're doing okay. I didn't expect for you to be awake so soon. My little friend, that strap around your neck seems to be a little loose there. Better tighten that up, so every time you move or struggle or even swallow your saliva, you're going to be reminded of where you are. The rules to this game are not yours to make... well then, let's have some fun."

He started to put together something on his tray while humming a song to himself then he spoke to me.

"You know, you're the first person that went up to me and not the other way around. I know right, don't speak to strangers but you'r not going to know people that way. Like I use to say, a person with clothes hides many secrets, but a person without holds none. Perhaps that might explain your nakedness at this time, but even the skin hides what's stored underneath. Now then, let's take you on a trip down the bunny trail."

He injected me with something in a syringe he was building and my vision started to go blurry and my body wasn't able to move but I could still feel and hear everything that happened.

"The way to the human mind is to destroy what false sanity that's in it. Then that's where the real fun begins. Sadly everyone else befor you couldn't survive that process, let's see if you can; time to begin."

The man started to mark spots with a marker trying to map out where he was going to do what he did next. He put on some music in the background as he worked on me. Some may say what he did to his victims was horrible and inhumane and I belived that as well until I learned later in life that everything he did had a reason behind it. The mask, the music, even what he did to me that night. He took his hammer and smashed down onto my ankle cracking the bones inside it. I let out a terrible scream but that only led to the other ankle being hammered down over and over breaking the bones inside both and the skin started turning a bluish, purple color. He then worked his way up my legs until he got to my knees where he started to hammer down on them until blood started splattering out of the torn flesh and tissue. My legs were beatened and bloody, stained with cuts from the man's knife. They were paralyzed as I could no longer feel them. He put down the hammer and went back to his table.

He came back with a wrench in his hand and a smile on his face. One by one, he used the wrench to crack and crush my fingers causing the bones to snap out out of them. The pain started to cause me to squirm around and I tryed to get out but my legs didn't work and I was being choked by the strap around my throat. So much was going on my mind coudn't handle it all so I just snapped and started to laugh hysterically with foam and saliva coming out of my mouth. The man chuckled as he wispered to me,"I was the one." He injected me with another round of needles which stopped my body from squirming around and continued his work on me but from then on, I just layed there paralyzed like the useless vegetable I was while he sliced my flesh all over and hammered nails into my limbs for what felt like hours.

I could only watch as he broke me from a physical and mental standpoint but left me alive to show me that there was nothing left to lose. He started taking to me directly.

"This is something I may say, now that you've been broken piece by piece. All that's left is to rebuild you back into something wonderful."

He started to cut into my flesh as to dissect me to open me up from the inside."It's time to unleash you're inner animal!" The sound of a power saw started to cut into the side of my head as a way to get into my brain but stopped before done as the done as the sound of sirens were coming from outside.

"Now this is a shame, but don't look so down my little bunny. In time, we can play when ever you want but my attention is needed somewhere else for now." The door bursted open to show a officer pointing a gun down at the man. "Freeze! WSPD, stop right there you piece of shit! You're under arrest for the resent disappearances in this town. There's nowhere to run, we have the place surrounded!"

"Now, now, there's no need to use such words in front of a child. We were only playing."

"Shut up you sick fuck! Put your hands behind your head! You have the right to remain silent."

"On no, sorry kid, looks like we're going to have to wait awhile until we can play again."

The man pulled out a revolver but the oficer shot three rounds into the man's chest and one into his head with the sound of his rabbit mask shattering to the floor.

"Don't forget... officer, when you see.... one rabbit, there's more you..... can't see."

The man died as the officer started to free me, I passed out from the amont of blood I lost dripping out of me.

What he said that night started to make sense to me over time as they say he was crazy, maybe, but he was also smart. Getting back to my story, I was in the hospital when I woke back up where my body was able to move again and while I was sore all over from my wounds, the doctors told me they had to do a full body operation and that I was lucky to be alive and moving at all. The door opened to show my mom and dad who were super-relieved to see me awake. They had me taken care of while there but I couldn't understand why the rabbit masked man was also there but they thought I was only traumatized from the event and put me on types of therapy meds to keep me calm and counselors met with me but no matter what they did, he was always there with me.

Overtime I grew up with Buford as he acted like an imaginary friend and he talked with me and we played games together and soon became my best friend. He was there in the best of times and the worst of times like when my mom died in her sleep one night, her death took a toll on the whole family, dad mostly. When I got even older he started to teach me things that helped me later in life. A year ago there was a news report that a mysterious killer was on the loose in town and it reminded me of that time many years ago but now I meet a nice young girl when I went on a blind date.

When we were dating I found out that her father was Cage Mortimer, the police officer who saved me long ago. I told her my story and how her dad saved me and we started to bond over time and we went on dates more often until it was around our one-year anniversary and I was planning something big. We were at my place because I had the house all to myself after Father passed away. We had such a nice meal and talked, we were basically in love with each other.

"Do you like your meal?" I asked her but she said it was a little plain so I put something seasoning on it and told her to try it. She took a few bites but started to say there was something wrong with it.

"You should really thank the chef for trying. We put so much work into making it for you, isn't that right, Buford."

Her face widened as she was starting to choke on the food. Drool mixed in with the blood started to goop out of her mouth.

"That's a shame you didn't like the meal and we put so much work in to killing and cooking up your father just for you."

She tried saying somthing until more blood started clogging up her throat.

"This rat poison is probably not the best thing to put on your food, but we all have diffrent tastes. I believe Buford thinks this is a nice present for you, it was for my parents. Your dad was such an ass when he killed him, plus now you take the burden of carrying on his last name."

She could only mumble "You monster."

"I had to learn the hard way not to mess with strangers and you made the same mistake, I think it's time to unleash you're inner animal."

After telling her that, I grabbed a hammer put on my rabbit mask that Buford taught me how to make. I shoved her to the ground out of her chair as I started dragging her from her hair down the stairs to the basement where the others were dealt with. Sadly she didn't survive just like the rest; turns out she wasn't the one who could of been rebuilt like I was... and that was the first love. Look like that's all the time I have for this video. The police sirens are getting closer and I don't want be missing the fireworks. Also, don't be afraid if I come hopping down your bunny trail one day."

The man in the video put on his rabbit mask and left from sight. The video was still rolling until the police burst through the door where a large light instantly covered the screen causing it to go out. At the end of the video, officers were sent to raid the house where the signal was coming from only to find out it was rigged with explosives destroying any evedence they hoped to find. one officer died with three others injured.

The video was broadcasted on the news network in town when the station got hacked into. It's still unknown why he aired that video to the station, some belive it was his final farwell to the place he once called home. But the man in the video used a fake name and stole all records of his real identification from the police station before the broadcast aired so it's still unclear who this man is.

The man is on the loose in the Washington state area but there has been multiple sightings of this man throughout the continental U.S. and parts of Canada were people have been reportedly gone missing. Police worn that people should be extra careful around strangers and call your local police department if you have information on this man as it only takes one mistake and the "Washington Hare" could mark you as there next victim.
