#chhope

the department has been investigating the murder of hope upton for weeks and solved the case. the victim moved to cape hazel from their parents’ home in cape sienna in late july. in early september, they began intermittently depositing large sums of money in various bank accounts, and chpd later discovered the victim stole the money from the city of cape hazel’s special funds allocated to rebuild the diner. since the funds were stolen, chpd and the city have, in conjunction, been investigating that disappearance.

it seems that former mayor zeff’s recent spouse, mayor tanny of cape sienna, discovered before chpd that the victim looted the funds. because he was the anonymous donor who gifted $1 million to rebuild the diner, he was very upset and decided to take matters into his own hands. on october 1, 2019, tanny tevito murdered hope upton by the lighthouse. it is believed that former mayor zeff may have assisted in the cover-up following the murder. tanny and zeff have been taken into custody and will be tried accordingly.

thank you to the citizens of cape hazel for your patience and cooperation throughout the investigation.

when he spotted a figure walking in the dark, he stiffened, hesitating. the flashlight in his hand was solid enough that he could probably defend himself if necessary, but, you know, he strongly preferred not to have to. when he recognized maia, he exhaled audibly, meeting her for the last few steps. “maia. hey.” he rocked back on his feet uneasily. “does anyone know you’re here?”
