Published: Oct. 11, 2018, midnight

The deceased typist, Hannah Pickering, is not what she seems. In her housemates' investigation of the poor girl's murder, Cyril and Deloras find themselves in the slums where "Hannah" goes by the name Miriam and has a tawdry reputation. They hope to discover more as they venture up to her attic apartment.\nMeanwhile, after examining the scene of the crime, Ex-Federal agent Spade is convinced the young woman died from a bear attack - even though experienced tracker Hank Jr. can find no proof of animal or man having caused her untimely demise. The two return to the boarding house, ready to make their next move.\xa0\nContent Warning: Psychological trauma, mental illness, implied sexual abuse, implied rape, ethnic slurs, prostitution, religious zealotry and intolerance\nTranscripts and more info available at: CthulhuMystery.com\nSupport our sponsors at: https://fableandfolly.com/partners/\nWritten & Performed by:\nLuke Stram \u2013 The Keeper\nDoug Banks | Cat Blackard | Brandon Gerson | Kay | Ruel Knudson\n\xa0\nSound Design: Colin Peterson\nEditing: Colin Peterson & Cat Blackard\nStory Editing: Cat Blackard\nCast:\nDoug Banks as Hank O\u2019Brien Jr.\nCat Blackard as Cyril Bridgewater\nBrandon Gerson as Father Grandfather\nKay as Deloras Delaney\nRuel Knudson as Sam Spade\nCat Blackard as The Narrator/The Announcer\n\nMusical Spotlight: "Cry, Little Sister" by Geekapella\nOriginal Score: Ryan McQuinn and Mike McQuinn\nSeries I Album Art by Tony Baldini\nLearn more about your ad choices.
