CUNNINGHAM FARM

Approach (Session 5)

in the car on the way to CUNNINGHAM FARM

• SEAMUS speculates that THOMAS PEREZ CUNNINGHAM might be dead; maybe corresponds with the black-hole-faced mom doodle (DOODLES)
• SHELF notes that if ELLE GABLE took a car to the vet's home, it's in the parking lot and the police will find it
• we pull up on a very quaint farmhouse
• LOTTIE gets to door first, rings doorbell a lot of times, no answer
• SEAMUS does a lap around the house
• MO checks mailbox; full of mail; bills etc, going back two weeks
• LOTTIE opens door, being careful to wipe handle

Farmhouse Sweep (Session 5)

• rotty smell (not the ROTTING FLESH smell that LOTTIE and SEAMUS find delicious, just gross rot); smell coming from upstairs; rotten fruit on the counter
• we clear the house police-style, starting with this ground floor; we see no basement stairs
• we move up the stairs
• parents bedroom (SUSAN CUNNINGHAM, EMIL CUNNINGHAM): two viscerally mutilated bodies, knife-style; that's the source of the smell
• SHELF: "LOTTIE you might not want to look in here"
• nothing in the kids rooms
• MO checks bodies medically
• two people in their 60s, on top of the blankets, brutally stabbed to death and then flayed, cutting their skin up with knives (not in a "to collect a particular piece" way -- all the skin appears to be accounted for here)
• they're wearing sleeping clothes
• Tommy's room (THOMAS PEREZ CUNNINGHAM): weirdly not decorated; spartan; notebook full of DOODLES -- the same drawings, not just similar content
• no evidence of pets, husbandry
• no weird dead tree
• SHELF: texts PIZZA with updates; pizza confirms that ELLE GABLE's corpse is secure, it is.
• in pictures where everyone else is smiling, Tommy (THOMAS PEREZ CUNNINGHAM) is not smiling
• in drawer: extensive paperwork from various psychologists all about Tommy (THOMAS PEREZ CUNNINGHAM); he's seen many therapists because he is still nonverbal (QUIET CHILDREN?)
• we take that file
• big retcon: the siblings are dead also in the same way actually
