### JON There’s not much more to be added here. The [[UK Metropolitan Police Service|police]] reports on [[Montauk, Robert|Robert Montauk]] are predictably thorough, and there are few details to be added. The vast majority of research into this case has already been done by the serial killer enthusiast community which, though weird and deeply unsettling, does often prove to be surprisingly useful in high-publicity cases like this. In addition to the body of one [[Lorne, Christopher|Christopher Lorne]], 40 preserved hearts were recovered from [[Montauk, Robert|Robert Montauk]]’s shed. They were arranged on the walls on individual shelves forming patterns of eleven hearts on each inner wall and seven on the wall with the door. Photos of the patterns match up to the various formulae of sacred geometry but don’t appear to correspond exactly with any specific school. Of possible significance also is that fact that the rest of the bodies were never found. The symbol on the two pendants is that of the [[The Dark|Peoples' Church of the Divine Host]], a small cult that grew around the defrocked [[Rayner, Maxwell|Pentecostal minister Maxwell Rayner]] in [[City of London|London]] during the [[1985-01-01 - 1994-12-31|late eighties and early nineties]]. I knew I recognised the name from Statement [[The Piper - 01 - Statement|1106922]] though, currently, it just looks like a coincidence. [[Lorne, Christopher|Christopher Lorne]] was a member of the church, and his family hadn’t heard from him in the six years prior to his murder. [[Rayner, Maxwell|Mr. Rayner]] himself disappeared from public view sometime in [[1994-01-01 - 1994-12-31|1994]], and the group fragmented shortly afterwards. The police made many attempts to follow up on this lead in the [[Montauk, Robert|Montauk]] case, but were never able to locate any members willing to make statements. The house on [[York Road]] is still inhabited, though the current owners pulled down the shed over a decade ago and replaced it with a patio. [[Montauk, Robert|Robert Montauk]] died in [[Her Majesty’s Prison Wakefield|Wakefield Prison]] on [[2002-11-01|November 1st 2002]]. He was stabbed forty-seven times and bled out before anyone found him. After reading this statement, three points of interest occur: no culprit or weapon was ever found connected to the killing; he was apparently alone in his cell at the time, which was supposed to be locked; and at the time of his death the light bulb in his cell was found to have blown out, leaving him in darkness. Recording ends. **\[Click]** --- ### PAGE: [[Burned Out - 01 - Statement|Last Episode]] - [[A Father's Love - 01 - Statement|01]] - \[[[A Father's Love - 02 - Follow-up|02]]] - [[A Father's Love - 99 - Postface|99]] - [[Vampire Killer - 01 - Statement|Next Episode]] ### PROPERTIES | Episode published on | [[2016-04-11]] | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Statement given on | [[2002-12-03]] | | Date of events | [[1995-01-01 - 1995-12-31\|1995]] - [[1994-01-01 - 1994-12-31\|1994]] - [[2002-11-01]] - [[1985-01-01 - 1994-12-31\|1985 - 1994]] | | Date of recording | N/A | | Recorded by | [[Person of interest/The Magnus Institute/The Magnus Archives/Archive staff/Sims, Jonathan\|Sims, Jonathan]] | | Recorded at | [[Magnus Institute]] | | Statement type | Written | | Case number | 0020312 | | Given by | [[Montauk, Julia]] | | Voice | [[Person of interest/The Magnus Institute/The Magnus Archives/Archive staff/Sims, Jonathan\|Sims, Jonathan]] | | Magnus staff | N/A | | Mentionned | [[Rayner, Maxwell]] - [[Lorne, Christopher]] - [[Montauk, Robert]] | | Non-person | [[UK Metropolitan Police Service]] | | Artefact | N/A | | Avatar | [[Rayner, Maxwell]] | | Creature | N/A | | Ritual | N/A | | Entity | [[The Dark]] | | Location | [[Her Majesty’s Prison Wakefield]] - [[City of London]] - [[York Road]] | | Linked mention | [[Growing Dark - 01 - Statement\|0151904]] - [[The Piper - 01 - Statement\|9220611]] | | Other pages | [[A Father's Love - 01 - Statement\|01]] - [[A Father's Love - 02 - Follow-up\|02]] - [[A Father's Love - 99 - Postface\|99]] | | Transcript | [A Father's Love.pdf](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CmFnpF6_n_eCyvF6JgYLL_ltMlfNZruf/view?usp=drive_link) | | Tags | #Source/TMA/FollowUp #Warning/Abuse/Child #Warning/Death/Family/Parent #Warning/Crime/Violence/Religious #Warning/Crime/Murder/Serial_Killer #Warning/Horror/Gore #Warning/Setting/Religion/Sect #Warning/Stalking/Chase #Warning/Phobia/Darkness #Warning/Sound/Heartbeat |
