[WP] A married scientist couple and a couple assistants are running away from a failed science experiment at a secret government facility deep in the woods of a large government owned land.

Shortly after Dr. Russell Bradford and his wife, Dr. Colleen McCall, moved into the neighborhood children began to disappear at a rapid rate.

Authorities were called on the couple more than once by suspicious parents, but neither doctor was ever taken in for questioning.

On the night of November 8th, two officers responded to the call of 82 year old resident, Gertrude Boyer, who reported that she had heard people "screaming" and "crying for help" in the woods behind her house.

A facility was found. In it, all of the children that had been reported missing over the past few months. Only the body of one child - later identified as Jesse Landry, the most recently kidnapped - was never found.

Unfortunately, nothing could be done for any of the discovered. All of them had been subjected to horrendously brutal and sadist experiments that bordered on outright torture. Only two were barely alive when officers found them, and both died en route to the hospital.

The bodies of Dr. Russell Bradford, his assistants, and his wife, Dr. Colleen McCall, were never found.

Authorities are still on the lookout for the whereabouts of Jesse Landry.
