Missing Student’s Car Found

The recent discovery of the vehicle owned by a missing University of Central Missouri student has prompted authorities to renew their investigation after the initial search was called off three months ago. The green Ford Explorer, was found by hunters in the backwoods area near the old town of Shiloh in the Ozark Mountains. Law-enforcement would not explain the nature of their find other than saying the damage was vandalism with malicious intent.  They are asking the public to come forward if they have any information regarding this case.

Shiloh has not been without its controversy. Founded in 1830, it was once a thriving community but after the Civil War ended it became extremely isolated and succumbed to a peculiar home-grown religious fanaticism.  Born of fear and ignorance, a new faith banished those with birth defects and other human maladies and were forced to live their days at a secluded Manor Estate. The subsequent discovery and closure of what had become a de facto internment camp, came in 1920 but was never fully known to the public. Rumors were all that was left, even up to this day.

With the townsfolk notoriously private and loathing modern times, not much is ever heard about the area but the lore still lives on with wild claims that an “Albino Farm” remains and its lone inhabitants still seek vengeance.
