"Your next case Mr Investigator. That's what she called you.
It's business as usual at The Time Bureau. Another misfortune filed on our doorstep. Difference this time was how particular she felt about handing us the work. It's to do with her father, mind you. She even left a note behind.

Gather evidence and extrapolate what you know.
Piece it back together using your own detective thinking.
