MISSING: Benjamin J. Holister

[Holister]

My name is Rourke Utah, deputy sheriff for Cypress Cove and acting member of US Homeland Security "Black Badge" task force.

As of now, sheriff Benjamin J. Holister has been reported missing now for over 48 hours.

We have no leads as to his where abouts other than that he was returning home from his most recent case in Mississippi.

I would also like to point out that several Lazlo Society staff and members were under investigation by Benjamin Holister prior to his disappearance. As to the reasons why, we have yet to discern this.

If anyone has any leads or vital information pertaining to his disappearance, contact us here on this post or by private message.

Thank You
- Rourke Utah
- Senior Investigator "Black Badge"

I hope that you find him.

Great another investigation. Just remember that Mr. Holister was not missing untill after I became aquainted with "house arrest". The harder you look my way, the less of what you seek you will find.

If I had meant harm to Mr. Holister someone would have already identified the body, and the hands, and the head. Disapearances are the province of hired killers, and amateurs in my world. I am neither. I wished to play this game with Mr. Holister, but you will do. Investigate away, Mr. Deputy, see what you can find. Just be carefull not to inquire of the wrong people, some will gladly kill to protect what is theirs (amateurs, killing anyone who investigates you only leads to more trouble)


Good Day, And good health to you Mr. Deputy, I hope you are ready for the game you want to play..........

Ashikaga-san Please calm down While I believe you had nothing to do with Ben Holister going missing, the Deputy and others are just checking all avenues of investigation, and whoever set you up in your present situation may be takeing advantage of this new twist to further detain you. Who knows they may have even caused the situation with Ben's disapperance, and that is a bad thought if they are willing to go that far.

[Kolya]

The ground is ripe for a setup. Good observation Shadowstalker.

Perhaps one wonders as whom the good Mr. Utah is referring to in that statement. I know that I am curious to see whom was under the good sheriff's scutiny. Perhaps a list of potential suspects would help solve this problem?

I would also like to know why they
being investigated? Maybe there is someone who does not want something found out, or revenge perhaps? Im sure Holister has made his fair share of enemies here at Lazlo.

Curious?

[Kolya]

Define "fair share".

[Shadowstalker]

Good question?

[Razor]

Well, I know that I am on that list.

*Shrugs* Wouldn't be the first time somebody has gone snooping in my background. They either won't find anything, or find that it reads like something out of a fantasy or sci-fi novel of sorts.

[Celeste Darken]

Im sure Holister has made his fair share of enemies here at Lazlo.

As I'm sure you will too.

[Razor]

Let the sniping comments begin!

Sorry, had to

[Natasha]

I am Heidi from the Alps.

[Ron Caliburn]

I was on Holister's list.

Our disagreements about Celeste may be motive for that if nothing else.

[Shadowstalker]

I seem to have been on his list, and I can't think why? Yeah right I can think of a few right off the top.

[Kolya]

He was trying to investigate me, too.

Probably because I stand behind Ron as I do. I can speculate on some other reasons, but I will not publicly.

[Bert_the_Turtle]

Did you guys find a copy of the list somewhere?

[Ron Caliburn]

We were contacted by the deputy.

[Bert_the_Turtle]

He didn't give me the details of what Ben's been investigating.

[Kolya]

I am pretty sure no details about other pending investigations were divulged.

[Shadowstalker]

Only that certain people were being investigated.

[Ron Caliburn]

I would advise all to co-operate as much as possible. LEOs, for all they are derided, are generally hardworking and honest folks.

Anything that helps them find Holister faster would be appreciated.

I haven't broken any laws . . . it's all about the paper work

[Kolya]

I told them everything I could think about.

[Celeste Darken]

I knew nothing about it in the first place. But I can see why they suspect me.

[Kolya]

I knew nothing about it in the first place. But I can see why they suspect me.

The message I received was merely that he was investigating me, not that I was a suspect.

[Shadowstalker]

Same here.

[Ron Caliburn]

Not much I had to offer.

I didn't know I was being investigated, but I wasn't surprised.

I've never met Holister in person and I have no idea what happened to him.

[Kolya]

I did not have anything to offer either, other than some tips how not to lose their agents.

[Razor]

I was contacted as well, told I was being investigated by ben, again no surprise, but I'm not officially suspected, so.... none of htat bothers me. I just wish I could help with his search and rescue efforts.

[A. Pendragon]

I was sent a message by the above "officer" that evidence shows that Ben was investigating me.
I sent a request for proof of this.

[Shadowstalker]

It was likely that he was just trying to find out as much as he could about who he was dealing with, most of us do play things sort of close to the chest as it were.
