Many days dragged on, marked by a barrage of interviews and countless sleepless nights. The enigma of the clown killer's identity continued to plague my thoughts day and night, an unsolved mystery that seemed to elude any breakthrough.

Regarding Oliver's innocence, the investigation revealed a different story. Oliver, a severe drug addict, had a nightmarish routine of collecting drugs from his distributor. The damning evidence captured by CCTV led to his imprisonment. This revelation left me feeling defeated, grappling with the realization that the person I initially suspected was not the killer.

Frustration clouded my efforts as the trail went cold, and no new leads emerged. However, a sudden spark of inspiration ignited within me. What if I focused on finding a common link, someone weaving through the lives of those entangled in this grim mystery? Hastily opening the files, my eyes landed on a name that appeared consistently – Cole Johnson, the head priest in the church. All the families of the missing children went there on Sundays.

The revelation about Cole Johnson, the head priest, felt like stumbling upon a hidden corridor in the maze. It dawned on me that every family affected by the disappearances shared a common thread—the Sunday visits to the church.

Eager to follow this newfound lead, I dug into Cole Johnson's life. His role as the head priest added a layer of complexity to the puzzle. The idea that the person responsible might be within the sacred walls of the church weighed heavily on my mind.

Opting for a discreet approach, I attended one of the church services. Inside, the air felt thick with secrets as Cole Johnson delivered his sermon with an unwavering air of authority.

After the service, I discreetly approached some of the families, gently asking for shared experiences or connections that might tie them to the mysterious events. The tension was palpable, and a sense of anticipation hung in the air.

This new lead opened a door to unforeseen challenges. The head priest's role in this unsettling mystery raised unsettling questions about trust, faith, and the unexpected places where darkness could linger. The journey to unveil the truth took an unexpected turn, and with each step, the intricate web of the unknown tightened around the church, suggesting that hidden secrets demanded exposure.
