Shocking news, loyal readers! I received a tip this morning that the Tarot Killer is ensconced in a local hotel room. Given the events to date, I can only fear that he is performing the kind of evil hoodoo, voodoo and juju that requires privacy...and apparently, turndown service. I fear that this fiend or as I think I'll call him from now on, Kevin Cosby, has gotten wind of my pursuit and possibly changed his pattern and in a drastic manner. While serial killers may change their patterns slightly due to external forces, if they are killing at regular intervals, they almost never deviate from this pattern. The thing is, Tarot Killer has been on a strict lunar cycle... oh, right. Forgot to mention that. Between my last update and today, I deduced that all of these killings are taking place under a new moon! Why? Dunno, yet. However, he's now skipped a moon (at least there hasn't been a reported murder) and this is very disturbing.
Earlier today, I managed to place cameras inside the killer's room! To be honest, I didn't think I had it in me and my stones were in my throat I was so scared. They've only now just descended. At any rate, I girded my loins, as they say (and downed a shot or three of Jack, for medicinal purposes) and made my way into the killer's room, where I was able to place my cameras. Honestly, I don't think I breathed the whole time I was in the room.
The magnitude of this development should not escape you! This is the first time we have had a chance to witness what the killer does in between murders. While I can't account for Cosby's movements over the past month and a half, I can say that he's run 2,500 miles away from his last known act of butchery.
We'll figure that out together, loyal readers. While I feel confident going forward, I would feel all the more so if I could hear from you about what this fiend is doing and where he's been. I've received this major tip, so clearly some of you know more than you are letting on. If you know anything about The Tarot Killer and his plans, please come forward. Like any self-respecting journalist, I never reveal my sources. Please email me at: eddie@popetattles.com and help the forces of good triumph!
I don't think I can really describe how odd that footage was and how unsettled it made me. What was he doing? It looked like he was davening but that wasn't no Hebrew like I've ever heard! Thank you, loyal readers! I've received all your notes and while it might be terribly dangerous, I feel it is my duty to use them to smoke this criminal out, whoever he may be! It's time for the fiend to know that Eddie Pope is on his trail. Wish me luck!
It looks like my plan worked, at least party. The killer has left his hotel room and I have him on tape. I uploaded this on the fly and tracked the sicko to, of all places, a Marie Callender's. I had eyes on him (he was upset when they told him strawberry-rhubarb pie was out of season) but then a busser dropped a stack of plates and in the commotion, the slippery bastard lit out. If he didn't know I was on to him before, he certainly does now. Well, as my idol (and Henry V) used to say, the game's afoot!
Once again friends, I must paraphrase a great American and appeal to the better angels of your nature. I can't do this alone. I can't unravel this mystery and bring this evil into the light without your help! The truth will out, but sometimes it needs a little nudge from Eddie Pope and his intrepid team of readers!
