CHAPEL HILL, NC - Five and counting. On September 29th the peace in this college town of some 50,000 people was shattered by the 5th murder of the fiend we now know as the Tarot Killer. Apparently the villain took advantage of a quiet Monday night to do his barbaric butchery right outside the Morehead Planetarium. (Something to do with the months separating the murders? Must look into that....) Chapel Hill is the smallest of the five murder cities and hosts a major university, as do Austin and Provo. Of course New York and San Francisco have many, but could the killer some sort of a visiting lecturer? Maybe an expert on serial killers? What a perfect cover!

Seeing as how I made it down here only a few days after the killing, perhaps the trail isn't as cold as it has been... It's time for me to see if there's some reason to these murder sites other than what's in the demented mind of our fiend! Stay with me, loyal readers, Eddie Pope's hot on the trail and the trail's heating up!
