Heath Hale couldn't help but sigh at the thought of the first victim they had found.
No matter how many cases he'd handled, that scene was still just as brutal to witness.
The first crime scene was on the top floor of an abandoned, unfinished building. Inside was a large stainless steel vat filled with red liquid. Next to it, a table was covered with disposable food containers.
Slices of meat were neatly arranged inside them. And in the very center of the room was a human skeleton.
Red, bloody fibers still clung to the bones, making it easy to guess where the meat in the containers had come from.
Even though the weather wasn't hot, a strange smell had already permeated the entire floor by the time they found the scene.
The killer's methods were clean and efficient, leaving no traces behind. Naturally, they couldn't extract any useful information.
They quickly identified the victim based on the skeleton and other remains at the scene.
She was a high school girl.
