Bracelet

• This was given to Liam by his father before his passing.

• It has a silver charm of a molar on it.

Interview Transcript

• This helps us start to develop a timeline for the day of Liam Kent's disappearance.
• It also reveals that he had the bracelet on while he was at The Silver Moon diner.

• Rapinoe mentioned feeling a "presence" and "murmuring" under his floorboards. Andy's Café is only 2 stops away, and the museum was built in the '20s.

  • This is most likely where Liam was "hanging out" in the basement.

Letter from Rosemary

• This is very reminiscent of Hawthorn Junction.
• The police were quick to classify a "15-year-old runaway" as a lost cause. Sounds like small-town police from a horror movie alright.

Liam's Behavioral Record

• Andrea Tan describes an altercation between Liam and another student. She poses that Liam suffers from a dissociative disorder.
• She also clues into how to narrow down where Liam was hanging out on the map.

Liam's Notebook

• I like the "Black Mirror" design on the outer covers.
• Rosemary found this on Liam's desk the day of his disappearance.
• It was given to him by Ms. Tam (his counselor) to write to his deceased father.

• He talks about being in the basement (??) of a building, where he can walk 2 stops over to get something to eat.

  • Considering he says he needs to walk through the forest to get there, the building must be on the north side of the street shown on the map.
  • If he need only walk 2 stops over for food, he was hanging out at a number of possible buildings: Sheriff's Office (8 on map), McQueen Auto Shop (13 on map), Propriety Goodneighbor Library (16 on map), Burkittsville History Museum (6 on map), or Something Borrowed (20 on map).

• I think it's a safe bet to assume Liam was visiting the museum and went to Andy's for food.

  • He mentions wanting to know more history about the forest.
  • Andrea Tan's behavioral report on Liam notes the building he visited was built in the '20s. The museum was built in 1921.

• There is secret written code within this notebook written in invisible ink. You must use the blacklight to reveal the writing.

Magazine Spread

• Rosemary found this on Liam's desk the day of his disappearance.
• This gives a little history of the "Blair Witch" and even touches on the premise of the movie "The Blair Witch Project".

• Once decoded, the messages read:

  • "MAYBE SHE LIVED? MAYBE SHE'S STILL OUT THERE?"
  • "HOW DOES SHE DECIDE WHO TO CONTROL? WHO TO SPARE?"
  • "THE RULES OF REALITY DON'T APPLY. THE PAST IS ALIVE OUT THERE. MAYBE IT'S NOT CRAZY TO HOPE."

Map of Burkittsville

• This is a map of the small town with a legend at the bottom and little descriptions of the buildings.
• This will probably come in handy while trying to find out where Liam was heading and solving his disappearance.

Missing Person Report

• Wow, typical press. The sheriff had already said do not ask about the supernatural mumbo jumbo and that's exactly what she kept doing.

Newspaper Article

• This article covers the death of Liam's father, Rosemary's husband, Hudson William Kent.
• Hudson died to save his son, no wonder Liam was having a hard time dealing with it...

Pen

• Rosemary found this on Liam's desk the day of his disappearance.
• There is a blacklight at one end of this pen, and it serves a purpose.

• This pen is pretty cool.

  • It did not appear to write anything when I scribbled with it to test the ink. I took the pen apart only to realize the ink was "clear"...
  • So I decided to shine the blacklight on it. Nice! The pen is filled with "invisible" ink for writing secret messages!
