Report No: GT/WT-160909-022240905

Location: Charlotte, North Carolina

Agents:

• Cortez
• Drummond
• McCarter
• Monroe

Summary:

Agents pursued leads connected to the investigation of Kerry Houghton’s killers, directing them to King Torino’s Children’s Refuge in Charlotte, North Carolina. While interviewing former Cornucopia House resident Nika Chilikov, the agents encountered a suspect matching prior descriptions and faced an immediate threat when a large bear breached the property’s perimeter.

Operation Report:

• The agents departed for Charlotte, North Carolina, to investigate Elle Gable’s history at King Torino’s Children’s Refuge and to follow up on leads related to Kerry Houghton’s murder.
• During the drive, Agent Monroe reflected on the death of Elle Gable, recalling her final expression and questioning previous actions regarding Franklin Price. He contemplated the necessity of eliminating Price to conclude unresolved matters.
• Upon arrival at the refuge, the agents noted the three-story home appeared dilapidated yet operational. Children’s voices were audible from the backyard, indicating outdoor activities.
• Agent Cortez observed a partially concealed red sedan parked off the road near the refuge. Investigating the vehicle, he identified it as Kerry Houghton’s car, recently used and containing fresh fast-food receipts. He retrieved the keys and returned to inform the team.
• The agents approached the refuge entrance and were met by staff member Rayleigh May, who directed them to Dr. Bailey, the supervising psychologist. Dr. Bailey initially declined to provide information on Elle Gable due to confidentiality policies.
• After persistent dialogue, Dr. Bailey consented to allow the agents to speak with Nika Chilikov, a former resident now employed at the refuge.
• Agent Cortez alerted the team to the discovery of Houghton’s car, raising concerns about an immediate threat. The agents advised Dr. Bailey to account for all staff members and considered the safety of the children.
• Agents McCarter and Drummond began a perimeter sweep of the property to identify any signs of forced entry or suspicious activity.
• Agents Cortez and Monroe remained with Nika to gather information. Nika disclosed her past association with the “quiet ones,” a group of children from Cornucopia House who communicated through silence and shared a mysterious bond.
• She revealed that Elle Gable had previously attacked her and that other children from Cornucopia House, including Conrad Hopko and Jennifer Wills, had been at the refuge but left under various circumstances.
• Nika expressed concern that members of the “quiet ones” might be nearby, hinting at their animosity toward her for abandoning their shared silence.
• While conversing, Agents Cortez and Monroe observed a thin white male matching the suspect’s description cutting through the property’s chain-link fence with bolt cutters. Upon being spotted, the suspect emitted a loud yell and fled back through the breach.
• Immediately following the suspect’s retreat, a large black bear entered the property through the damaged fence, advancing toward the children playing in the yard.
• Agent Cortez drew his weapon and moved forward to engage the threat, while Agent Monroe alerted Nika to guide the children to safety. Nika began directing the children toward the refuge.
• Agents McCarter and Drummond, hearing the commotion and shouts from their colleagues, commenced a rapid return from their perimeter sweep to assist.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• The proximity of Kerry Houghton’s car suggests that the suspects are actively pursuing individuals linked to Cornucopia House. Their presence at the refuge indicates a potential escalation in their actions.
• The coordinated timing of the suspect’s appearance and the bear’s entry implies possible unnatural abilities, such as manipulation of wildlife or summoning entities, requiring agents to prepare for non-conventional threats.
• Nika Chilikov possesses valuable firsthand knowledge about the “quiet ones” and their behaviors. Her insights could be crucial for understanding the suspects’ motives and methods. It is recommended to ensure her protection and consider debriefing her in a secure environment.
• The agents should exercise caution when engaging with the suspects, considering their potential to influence or control environmental elements. Enhanced tactical support and specialized equipment may be necessary.
• Agent Monroe’s fixation on unresolved aspects of previous encounters, specifically regarding Franklin Price, may indicate psychological stress or potential compromise. Monitoring his mental state is advisable to maintain operational integrity.
• Recommend increasing surveillance on other former Cornucopia House residents and associates to prevent further incidents. A thorough review of historical records related to the “quiet ones” could uncover patterns or predict future actions.
• Collaboration with local wildlife authorities might be beneficial to account for any unexplained animal behavior in the area, which could be linked to the suspects’ activities.
