It takes several nights, and more sheets of paper than Conner thought; but at last Conner crafts a duplicate version of the report of the earlier investigation into Forten. But with this duplicate there are certain omissions: most notably any reference to the victims being Kindred prey, instead focusing on the exsanguination being from an unknown entity similar to a Chubacrabra. The number of victims, any reference to their names and relevant backgrounds, that was unchanged.
Conner also removes any reference to named Kindred who assisted in the investigation, instead making reference to unnamed plainclothes police officers whose names were redacted for security reasons who masterminded the stakeout of the antique shop, the capture and interrogation of the ghoul (whose name and origins where also altered), and including the feline cryptid as a misunderstood curiosity rather than a known supernatural being. Conner then peppered in "notations" as if he'd scribbled down his thoughts as the secondary source, commenting on the possible but not confirmed supernatural nature of the crime.
After compiling this, Conner puts the fabricated report into a secure folder and arranges a package delivery to Lottie. He includes a letter with the package...
L,
Inside is a copy of all the notes I've taken for this investigation. Most of the groundwork was done by Sacramento PD with my own notes as supplement and filling in any 'weird' gaps. Remember what we discussed about Forten; handle with caution and let me know if you find anything. I'm grateful for your assistance in this.
