Report No: GT/WT-160909-021240822

Location: Washington, D.C., Waldorf, MD, Charlotte’s Rest Medical Facility

Agents:

• Cortez
• Drummond
• McCarter
• Monroe

Summary:

Working Group MASTICATE reconvened to investigate leads related to the mass grave discovered at the former site of Cornucopia House. The agents met with Assistant U.S. Attorney Antonia Pitzerelli, who briefed them on a fingerprint match for Elle Gable from a break-in at an outdoor goods store in Waldorf, MD. They were instructed to investigate the break-in, visit the King Torino children’s refuge in North Carolina, resolve the Crystal Killian loose end in Florida, and track down Kerry Houghton’s killers.

During their investigation in Waldorf, the agents discovered that Gable had specifically targeted a decorative knife with a bear’s paw carving. They obtained security footage of the incident and erased the original to cover their tracks. The agents then received an urgent call from Dr. Barkley at Charlotte’s Rest Veterans Home regarding Franklin Price, a veteran who had started speaking after years of silence, repeating the phrase “it smells like cookies.”

Upon arriving at Charlotte’s Rest, the agents encountered a gruesome scene involving a murdered nurse and bloody dog paw prints leading to Price’s room. Inside, they confronted Elle Gable and her aggressive dogs. In the ensuing confrontation, Steel Monroe critically injured Gable, and the dogs were put down by the agents. The local police were called to handle the aftermath, and the agents provided them with necessary information while invoking need-to-know restrictions.

With Gable eliminated, the agents decided to head directly to Florida to follow up on leads and tie up loose ends related to their investigation.

Operation Report:

• Working Group MASTICATE met with Assistant U.S. Attorney Antonia Pitzerelli at the Attorney General’s Office in Washington, D.C.
• Pitzerelli briefed the agents on a fingerprint match for Elle Gable from a break-in at McGarren Outdoor Outfitters in Waldorf, MD, and provided them with instructions for their investigation.
• The agents traveled to Waldorf and spoke with the proprietor of McGarren Outdoor Outfitters, learning that a decorative knife with a bear’s paw carving had been stolen during the break-in.
• Steel Monroe and David Cortez obtained security footage from a nearby coffee shop, showing Elle Gable smashing the store window and stealing the knife. They erased the original footage to cover their tracks.
• Graham Drummond received an urgent call from Dr. Barkley at Charlotte’s Rest Veterans Home regarding Franklin Price, a veteran who had started speaking after years of silence, repeating the phrase “it smells like cookies.”
• The agents arrived at Charlotte’s Rest and discovered a murdered nurse, with bloody dog paw prints leading to Price’s room.
• Inside Price’s room, the agents confronted Elle Gable and her aggressive dogs. Steel Monroe critically injured Gable, and the dogs were put down by the agents.
• Local police were called to handle the aftermath, and the agents provided them with necessary information while invoking need-to-know restrictions.
• With Gable eliminated, the agents decided to head directly to Florida to follow up on leads and tie up loose ends related to their investigation.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• The elimination of Elle Gable marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the dark legacy of Cornucopia House. Her targeting of the decorative knife with the bear’s paw carving suggests a deeper connection to the cult’s symbolism and rituals, which may prove crucial in unraveling the full extent of their activities.
• The sudden communication from Franklin Price, a veteran with potential ties to the case, raises further questions about the reach and influence of the unnatural forces at play. His cryptic phrase, “it smells like cookies,” may hold the key to unlocking additional leads or understanding the cult’s modus operandi. It is recommended that Price be thoroughly debriefed and any information he provides be cross-referenced with existing case files, particularly those related to Project COOKIES AND CREAM.
• The psychological toll on the agents cannot be understated, as evidenced by the sanity checks and breaking points experienced during the confrontation with Gable and her dogs. It is crucial that A-Cell closely monitor the mental well-being of Working Group MASTICATE and provide the necessary support to ensure their continued effectiveness in the field. The disturbing imagery found in Gable’s pamphlet, coupled with the agents’ violent actions, may have far-reaching consequences for their stability and the integrity of the operation.
• As the investigation shifts to Florida, it is imperative that the agents maintain a low profile and exercise caution when dealing with local law enforcement and potential witnesses. The Iron Wolves biker gang and the St. Lawrence Church homeless shelter may hold vital information about the remaining suspects and the broader network of the cult. Agents should be prepared to infiltrate these groups and gather intelligence while minimizing exposure and risk.
• The potential involvement of Deputy Eckstein from the Hendry County Sheriff’s Department in the Crystal Killian case should not be overlooked. While Delta Green has taken steps to remove him from his position, his knowledge and persistence could prove valuable in piecing together the larger puzzle. A carefully orchestrated approach to Eckstein may yield important insights while maintaining operational security. As Working Group MASTICATE delves deeper into the heart of darkness surrounding Cornucopia House, A-Cell must remain vigilant and provide the necessary resources and guidance to ensure the success of the mission and the safety of the agents involved. The far-reaching implications of this investigation cannot be overstated, and the fate of countless lives may hang in the balance.
