Every so often throughout the past year, people have gone missing in mysterious circumstances: just had lunch with a friend, just locked up their store, just seen and then gone. But the only question that police can't answer: where did they go?

For months police have been stumped with the mysterious disappearances of members of the community. But lack of leads, officers to investigate, and motivation to truly obtain closure, the cases have fallen into obscurity.
But that stopped at the disappearance of the newly crowned princess Twilight.
Her mysterious disappearance from society has brought heightened attention and motivation to what is otherwise a seemingly unsolvable case. With the Crown, press, and public on their backs; the small department in Ponyville will have to uncover a mystery older than any of them expected.

Author's Notes: AU is for the deaths and re-positioning of: some side and background characters, and character's backstories. The events prior to and including Equestria Girls 1, happened, but not the events afterwards.
Note: will contain scenes of gore, death, murder, sacrifice, suicide, and other things relevant to those topics. Everyone is human, but Earth 'ponies' have better strength, Pegasi can fly, Unicorns can use magic, etc. etc. There are also hints of Flash Sentry x Twilight Sparkle. You have been warned.
