In an Internet video, already viral, a woman accuses a secretive church leader of outlandish ritual abuse. Suddenly she vanishes, screaming, in front of a crowd of shocked and screaming bystanders.
The Intelligence section cannot find signs that the video was produced with special effects.
The Security section is already suppressing that fact, uploading doctored versions that do show subtle signs of having been generated with special effects, establishing a narrative that it was produced by clever hoaxers, and backing up that narrative by posing as low- credibility viewers who insist it is genuine.
OBJECTIVES: Find out what happened. Stop the incursion. Save lives. Protect the Group.
LOCATION: Hourglass, Oregon; rural among forests and hills; insular logging town; Trump country; anti-FBI; lots of UFO and Bigfoot stories.
VICTIM BACKGROUND: Terri Santos, née Terri Wilkins, then Terri Harding. Worked offand on as a retail sales clerk. She was married and had a son. Moved to Hourglass when her husband got a sawmill job. Her husband died in a bar fight. Then her son died of leukemia. Two years later she moved to the property of the Church of the Twelve Martyrs. About a year later, she married another resident of the Church compound, Jacob Santos. About a year after that, the video.
