Buried

It was the summer of 1997 in Jacksonville, Illinois when 8 children, all female and between the ages of 5 and 10 had disappeared from the town. Investigators used the majority of their force, including additional Special Forces from Chicago, sniffer-dogs and just about every possible eye-witness they could find from the town (which was shockingly very little combining all girls). Law enforcement declared a curfew for every child under the age of 16 and anyone suspicious travelling around the town during evening hours was brought into the station for questioning. However, evidence ended up futile and inconclusive, with the case eventually being declared “Cold” by the end of the year.

Eventually, 3 years later, the investigation was called back up again after a local Caucasian male by the name of David Aumont had confessed to his role in the disappearance of the 8 girls to the Jacksonville police department. While he informed them of their disappearance, he was oddly reluctant and unresponsive when he was brought in for questioning by police. The man had little of a criminal record, other than two parking violations and a noise disturbance complaint from one his neighbours. However, he was well known around the town for preaching the words of "how God has spoken through him" and being the leader of what was described as a “closed” and “inverted” cult group.

Anytime he was asked for the children's location, he would simply reply "buried". One day during August, after several weeks of vague answers and little response, David came into the Jacksonville station carrying a plain, small, black, hardback notebook with the title “DONE” written in white writing across the top. He handed it to one of the two officers questioning him and simply said, in a quiet, monotonous tone, “When someone reads that book, he is satisfied.” with a blank expression on his face. “I was simply serving the one true friend, unlike you”. Officer Foley flicked through the notebook and found the following contents.

Two days after the the evidence was brought in, 8 year old Sally Parker from Jacksonville, Illinois, was reported missing.
