Case List: A Series of Events.

Entry 1#:

With Twilight by my side I gained insight. There, apparently, has been a distinct characteristic that the two have shared. Each body that has been found was dead in different ways. Check Mate's body was examined-er, what there was of it. Upon discovery, I learn she wasn't found whole. She was gutted apart, DNA confirms that the organs found were Check Mate's. Going through the entrees, I've discovered a few key ponies that know Check Mate outside of her known family: one Pinkamina Diane Pie, Marble Pie, and Amethyst Locket. We'll investigate the following ponies:

1.Steel Wing

2.Brick Stack

3.Sonnet

4.Dead Bolt.

6.Triple Strike
Each of the ponies had contact with the filly before the day she left. With the research underway, we are sure to conclude the exact whereabouts of Check Mate. We still must manage to confirm Pinkie's statement once and for all. Then we must foresee the other deaths among the fillies:

1. Solar Blitz

2.Stone Quarry

1. Mantua-Maker

4.Cookie Cutter

5.Sour Drop

6.Mineral Glass

7.

8.

9.

10.

Among these there were 4 unnamed and unidentified. With lack of media attention and governmental attention towards the case, there still might be more ponies that weren't mentioned. Moving along, Sweetie Belle is detained still until further notice. Still there is no evidence to prove she was at the scene of the crime. Though, on the other hoof, there lacked proof she wasn't at the scene either. Twilight warned me of this specifically, we'll head over to the scene with Sweetie and recount later today before we have to head to Neigh York by train. This will conclude this Entry, I must leave to sleep. Good night.

Entry 2#

Its been a while since I wrote in this journal. The information I got simply made it hard to write it for a while. Still, I'll announce the current information. Sonnet worked at the Barista Block before Check Mate's unsound disappearance. On her word, she claimed that she last saw Check Mate leave the store with a mug of Hot Cocoa, claiming that she was heavily saddened by the unicorn school declining her. From Sonnet herself, we found little information. However, we strengthened the connections. Sonnet and Check were as close as Rainbow and Scootaloo, if not closer. Her pattern of speaking gave me the conclusion. However, upon asking, Sonnet gave us a map of the city. Other then Sonnet, only Triple Strike and Dead Bolt answered me truthfully. Triple Strike claimed that Check Mate acted rather off for the time being that she was going to a certain class. This was already known, however, from the Journal Entrees she had written. Triple Strike refused to give more on the relationship between them, which he denies while blushing, that they weren't together. Too bad I know he's lying. When brought up why, he couldn't answer me. However, he did tell me more then the first three ponies I questioned. Dead Bolt was similar suit, but gave more information towards another interesting tidbit of the city:Silver Lining's disappearance. She insisted that Brick Stack and Steel Wing had some connection towards the case. Still, when asked and pressed further, she stopped. I have to detain them soon for interrogation on a bigger level, specifically Brick Stack and Steel Wing.I recorded all that I needed to with the other, talking ponies. I'll contact them later if need be.

Silver Lining disappeared randomly and the lack of ponies covering her astounds me. She was the mother of Silver Spoon, Silver Locket, and Silver Brooch. (See the repetitive nature of their names?) and should have wider acknowledgement based on her wealth and status. The father, Diamond Ring, refused commentary of the matter at hoof. Twilight's looking in on him for now-something's a miss with him. Among those that interviewed for Silver Lining, all claimed she was, for lack of a better term, "Mare-for-Hire." I lack the care to really elaborate on her due to lack of body found. She might have simply walked off, as stated, but still, I shall pursue this case as well. Something never added right with Silver Locket and Brooch. I have to contact them more later. Looks like there are many ponies I need to talk to. Sweetie Belle gave us great insight to everything on hoof, however: She showed the hill and demonstrated what happened between Scootaloo and herself before the disappearance. I promised myself not to get as emotional as before, but I lied. She rode off on her scooter as predicted. Sweetie Belle's added testimony contained that of what the detective said earlier:something rustled in the bushes and darted off. Scootaloo checked onto to get a smack in response. That cut their time shorter then expected. Sweetie Belle helped her quicker then needed and Scootaloo darted off afterwards. We concluded that Scootaloo must have saw something that made her dart off in the wrong direction of her house. We have yet to make the connection between what she saw and what made her dart-only glasses being the remains from the hill. Twilight's trying to pinpoint the maker of the frames and the prescription, but I doubt that'll make much difference.

Amethyst Locket wasn't very easy to work with. She was highly emotional through the interview. Twilight had to calm her down every moment or so. Still, she claimed almost all of what Pinkamina had said was true. Pinkamina never left after learning the discovery, at least, not till Check got comfortable. She stayed for a while longer to help Check Mate that December. Pinkamina was supposed to pick up Check Mate, but failed to do so. Why would Pinkie lie about something like that? I suppose its guilt-something that I'm all too familiar with. But, to her credit, Amethyst claimed that Pinkamina wasn't informed of the class dismissing earlier then expected due to snow. This would explain why Pinkamina never announced it as earlier.

DAMN! I have to cut this short-we've received word of the other victims. Some of which needs to be examined in the morning.

Entry 3#

We've been hammered-6 weeks spent directly on one case at a time. Check Mate's been spotted entering some abandoned building. Apparently a noise had caught her attention. We've ignored her portion for some time, figuring more class based. Each victim went to the same class and each victim went coming out the same way as Check Mate. However, they disappeared differently. Solar Blitz was a brash Pegasus with a whole lot to live for if she had been able to. She got along well with Check and were friends, which probably killed her in the end, sadly. Apparently Check Mate was the one that the teacher loved the most out of all her students, and pairing them up were her typical past time. They were intimate-albeit by force, but still close. Close enough for Check to noticeably mention her sessions with Solar on a near basis. Fillies shouldn't have to know about the sort. Stone Quarry wasn't as close as they were. She was more of the bully-more like Diamond Tiara than not. While Solar was clearly the obvious choice after Check (even so, nopony knows whether the two were alive in captivity together.) Stone wasn't. The others: Mantua-Maker, Cookie Cutter, Sour Drop and Mineral Glass were just average ponies. They talked with Check and were in the same class, but they were not treated the same as the first two. However, they had been marked as well. Each were cut in a specific fashion and violated in specific ways. Twilight wouldn't disclose this information to me since some of the ways weren't..savory.

These cases show some rather shady work among the governmental force that runs each investigation, however. Some of the stallions weren't even there to help. Rainbow Shine (who is a mare-like white coated stallion with a rainbow mane. He's adorable.) was helping with the filing and the groundwork, which made me so grateful. Its hard enough to work with just Twilight when the rest are out gallivanting. He's been chipper for a while apparently. I congratulate him when I found out. I guess he just found himself a marefriend. He wouldn't give much details, but still, it was sweet to hear. Hangs out with her every chance he gets after work, kind of like how Scootaloo and I were. Oh, look, I can't believe I'm filling this with minor work that shouldn't need to be addressed. Anyway, back to the topic: Sweetie was released on probation. Er-almost. She's still suspicious in a way, at least by a few members of the force, however, they let her go since we figured it couldn't have been Sweetie. Sweetie had to have specific magic in order to have the strength it would take to lift a pegasus of Scootaloo's size, none the less, have enough energy to precisely hit her while she was going at high speeds. Sweetie wouldn't have the power to do such an act, being that she couldn't use the sort of magic. (Twilight stated something along the lines of "magic corresponding to the cutiemark.") Sweetie's still just learning her magic. She's great for a beginner apparently-but the ability to use huge sums to cause an injury is unlikely. However, the glasses were examined. It was determined that Lunar Optical was the creator of the glasses, but sold to stores across Equestria and beyond. Finding which store specifically wasn't hard, however. There was only one store located near the crime scene, a lone store in Canterlot. We haven't made it there yet due to the other outstanding feats we have to perform. The only thing we still must do was bring everypony together to interview. (Something we had to get approval for.)

On a side note, Scootaloo's been pregnant for about 4 1/2 to 5 months now. She's been contacting us (well, not her particularly. Demi and Laughing had done the honors. Demi allowed us to talk mainly alone for a while. Laughing was not so 'generous.') and she looks worse for wear. She wasn't starved save for being mentally deprived for the last month or two. She won't say what they did to her, she refused to even look me in the eye before muttering. I caught what she said: She called herself a Whorse. Scootaloo did give me information on what happened more or less with Sweetie. That helped more then not. Eventually, I managed to coax her to make her the way she was earlier, at least momentarily. We talked about the foals and names, even if it was too early to pick. She like the names Apple Cinnamon (she has an obsession with cinnamon for some reason. She loves it-I can't fathom why.), Apple Spice and Apple Crostata (THAT was my name. She gagged at my personal favorite vegetable: peas.It was adorable to see her argue on the subject) I'm worried for her size and her injuries. She was bigger then she probably should be for a pony that's only a few months in. I'm worried that she might not be able to walk. Still, only time can tell whether she can handle her stay before we get her-I can only hope she's going to heal. When we had to end the chat, I turned back to doing the DNA sequence and helping Twilight out with that aspect of finding her. Its the least we can do for her right now until she's ten months along. With that said, I have to end the Entry, Twilight wants me to catch some shut eye before heading out again to catch the Detective's once more.

PS:Looks like Sweetie Belle's joining us! At least it won't be all work.

Author's Note

First Entree is is about a week or two after the occurrences of what last happened to Apple Bloom and co in Canterlot.
-To put some insight:
Scootaloo was with Apple Bloom the first week of the month and had gotten pregnant.
Thursday night turning Friday of the week after was the day she disappeared. (Thursday she's taken and Friday she's discovered missing.)
-This is set mainly a week or two after the discovery, making it ONE whole month after.
Second Entree: Mainly tackles this about 10 weeks later after the first Entree. (Mainly, this is due to still being restricted by School until it ended for the summer. This gave her some time. They investigate the case for 3 months on end.
Third Entree is 6 weeks later from Entry 2. Technically, that would be about 4 to 4 1/2. She would be about 4 1/2 months along I would assume. (then again, each month has about 5 weeks. Don't trust my math please-my math is bad. )
