The Midnight Slayer

Greetings, Special Agent.

There has been a recent uptick in violent killings in Baltimore. While death is nothing new to this city, they suspect a serial killer might be at work.

First inclination was gang violence. This was however dismissed by information from officers on the ground. Informants and corner dealers did not have any information about ongoing wars or retaliations. After receiving clues from the killer, all doubts of gang violence were dismissed. Unfortunately, some of the information leaked to the press. This has made citizens fearful, with the first signs of panic erupting in the streets.

Citizens of Baltimore have given the nickname “The Midnight Slayer” to the killer. Named after the newspaper headline that started the unrest. The Baltimore City Police Department reached out to HACKTORIA for additional support in this investigation. Their limited capabilities and already high murder rate have left them at a loss. They also want outside help to prevent any possibility of corruption.

As always, Special Agent, the contract is yours, if you choose to accept.
