Crime Scene: The occurance took place Thursday night (4/25/2002) in the bottom of the maintenance stairwell in the Westin Hotel farthest from the Convention Center.

The body of a dark haired male vampire was found on the floor, and the bodies of three hispanic male humans in their early to mid twenties were found nailed to the walls.

The vampire, not identifiable by facial recognition, was lying naked in the middle of the floor, on his back. The head was turned to the left. The left arm was close to the body with the forearm at a right angle and lying across the abdomen. The right arm rested on the floor, elbow bent, fingers clenched. The arms were burned and mutilated by several jagged wounds. The legs were wide apart, the left thigh at right angles to the trunk and the right forming an obtuse angle.

The whole of the surface of the abdomen and thighs was removed, including the reproductive organs, and the abdominal cavity emptied of its viscera. The pectoral muscles down to the ribs we reremoved by more or less circular incisions, the contents of the chest visible through the openings. The lungs were partially torn, and the heart was absent. The face was burned and the hacked beyond recognition. The cuts were in all directions, the nose, cheeks, eyebrows, and ears being partly removed. The tissues of the neck were severed all round down to the vertebrae, the fifth and sixth being deeply notched.

On the floor was a pool of blood covering about two feet square. The wall by the right side of the body and in a line with the neck was marked by blood which had struck it in a number of separate splashes.

The viscera were placed thusly: the kidneys with one pectoral muscle under the head, the other pectoral by the right foot, the liver between the feet, the intestines by the right side and the spleen by the left side of the body. The flaps removed from the abdomen and thighs were nearby on the floor.

Two purple serpent-like astral creatures, invisible in the common spectrum, were actively writhing in and out of the various natural and unnatural holes in the body.

The bodies of the humans were nailed in crucifixial positions. Their eviscerations were similar to that of the vampire, but their intestines were strung about the walls on nails. The remains of the vampire's heart and parts of his lungs and intestines were found in the mouths and throats of the humans.

The floor was marked in a pentagram, sloppily done in red paint, and the words satan and death were painted several times on the walls and floors, along with the numbers 666 and common threats of bodily harm. A dead chicken was found on the floor in the corner, killed by a wringing of its neck. The shards of a glass (or ceramic, TBD by prop availability) jar marked in Hermetic symbols, wax, and red string, was found on the floor next to the vampire's left elbow.
