Spy, Spy, Pretty Girl

It's not as easy to forget about the things that lurk in the darkness as I thought.  Part of it is that I'm working on a report based on my Slender Man research.  It doesn't look like it, of course.  It looks like a demographic study of crimes reported, and has been exactly as dull to write as it sounds.  Which gives me plenty of time to think of what the research was really about.  And to notice a jump in "Tall, White Male" sightings three years ago.  And another last year.
Last year, the year of the murder.  Not a fire, not a 'suicide', not a disappearance.  A girl's room covered in blood, her body completely dismembered, her internal organs apparently found in the woods days later.  The fact that it wasn't one of the biggest news events in the state makes me wonder if the Panopticon's right.  Shouldn't everyone have heard of it?  The few people I talked to about it seem not to remember how horrifying the event was.  In their memories, her boyfriend stabbed her, or she was shot by a burglar.  None of the reports are available to the public...that's unusual, after a year, right?

The dead girl's roommate is still enrolled, though all the information I have on her is a name.  Should I seek her out, find out what really happened to her roommate?  Or should I leave the poor girl out of this?
