Accident Report
-
Beth's injuries are identical to 3 other "accidents" from 2004, 2006, and 2017.
- Severe trauma to back of head (from killer; a gash according to Gwen's letter) and minor injuries (from being dumped).
- Are we dealing with a serial killer?
-
This document also gives us the location of speculated death and where the body was found.
- We can locate these places on the map.
Dry Erase Marker
- This was left over from the previous hotel owner's surplus.
Gwen's Letter
-
Gwen's letter introduces us to the case, as well as lays out our objective for this episode.
- We must find the exact location of where her sister, Beth, was actually killed.
The Lantern Magazine
-
Page 5 gives us a little information on rip currents.
- Beth's killer most likely relied on this to carry her body away from the murder site.
- It also refers us to the "Safety" section of the Town of Mallory Rock website.
Lighthouse Souvenir
- This is a coaster that belonged to Beth.
Mallory Rock Map
- Beth's body was found at the "North Beach" (3 on map).
- She is presumed by authorities to have fallen from "Ballantine's Bluff" (4 on map).
- I would say she was actually killed at "Mallory Rock Lighthouse" since it is the only other location by the water's edge, and her body made its way to North Beach.
Mallory Rock Notebook
- This notebook gives us a little bit of history on Mallory Rock. It also alludes to the possibility of having to translate phrases from Latin.

Memorial Service Program
- In her letter, Gwen mentioned Rev Reaver's odd bible verse notations.
- NSRV stands for "New Revised Standard Version".
- This looks to be some kind of book cipher.
- Gwen put a "Bible Verses" folder on the virtual desktop. We can look up the verses on here instead of on Google.
- Once you find the chapter and verse, the hashtagged number refers to that word in that verse.
