Steelhead, Washington Territories
Monday, September 27, 1890
Word has reached our offices that Dr. Ryne Beck, the esteemed physician and scientist invaluable to the authorities in the analysis of recent murder victims and the search for the perpetrator of these (and perhaps other) crimes, may have fallen victim to the diabolical subject of the region-wide hunt.
According to Sheriff Ortega, Dr. Beck was conducting a search for a missing Chinese worker when he failed to report back after more than 24 hours’ time. In the meanwhile, the body of the missing Chinese, a woman, has been found floating in the oily waters off the Shanghai docks (head still attached). Although no official determination has been made, it is rumoured that suicide is suspected. Whether or not the deceased was amongst the number of individuals suffering from the psychical bombardment harassing many of late, sources cannot say at this time.
Patrols continue to search for the ravening creature popularly dubbed “Steal Head”. In addition to our local constabulary, the mysterious “Jaeger” soldiers have, eagerly it seems, joined in the hunt, and air patrols continue under the leadership of a “Q. Projects”. As of this printing, no sign has been found of the good doctor and the worst is feared, as is with the case of Mr. R. Michigan of Port Harbour.
