BARN OWL TIES BAINES TO LOCAL HOMICIDE

Authorities have announced the arrest of Oliver Stuart Baines in the homicide of Sofie Anne Perrin late Monday evening as he was taken into custody at the Ardmair Police Headquarters. Baines appeared disheveled as officers searched his house in the early hours of the morning while arresting him upon discharge from Northwest Highlands Medical Centre. Baines was charged with first degree murder.

Oliver Baines is known for his brimming collection of investigative articles dating back a quarter of a century. Officers report that they responded to a 999 call at Baines’s residence over the weekend to assist with a medical emergency. According to public records, Baines was transported to the hospital on Saturday. It is unclear at this time what he was evaluated and treated for.

Detective Barry Leishman stated in a press release issued earlier today, that upon arrival at Baine’s house at approximately 9:16 a.m. on Saturday, the response team initiated standard evaluation procedures. The driver of the ambulance that responded to the incident, was former police officer Daniel Gilchrist, who left the force to pursue his emergency technician certification shortly after he worked the Perrin scene on 24 January 2009.

According to the press release, Gilchrist observed an apparent collection of feathers that appeared to “decorate” Baine’s bookshelf. Gilchrist didn’t suspect the feathers to have a sinister association; however, they caught his attention, which is when he spotted several journals with Sofie Anne Perrin engraved on them.

Baines is also suspected in stealing multiple writings authored by Perrin. He is being held at the Northwest Highlands Detention Center and is awaiting preliminary hearings scheduled for 4 April 2011.

Charles felt a wave of emotion flood through him as his eyes filled with tears.

“Damn you!” he yelled as he felt the fiery surge of vengeance course through his frail body.

Months pass as the hands of justice seems to take its sweet time, but finally it was judgment day for Oliver Baines. The entire community of Ardmair arrived at the courthouse on the day the conviction was handed down. For a painfully private recluse, Sofie Perrin gained a village of friends as they showed up to hear the judge declare her killer GUILTY.

In the weeks following the conviction, the town of Ardmair erected a statue of a tree in City Centre and had a special poem engraved on the stone that lifted the tree high into the air.

She is a mountain

Who knows not

How her beauty touches

The weary traveler.

She is an eagle

Who knows not

How she inspires the dreamer

Rushing through blinding skies.

She is the wind

Who knows not

How her subtlety stirs the dust of man

And how her whisper warms the cold heart.

She is the tree

Who knows not

That shapes this land

For all eternity
