On 6th March 2005, Joey found his father mysteriously killed in a car accident. Three months later, Serenity disappeared. Joey, Tristan, and Mai left Domino to search for her.
On 6th June 2006, a year after her disappearance, the trio were found dead. Their dismembered bodies, buried in a shallow grave, some 90 miles away from the city, near the tomb of one Mr. Ravenswood. They had been neatly cut into sixteen pieces, each. Their respective heads shaved and encased in concrete.
The trio were discovered when Domino city council had demolished the old tombs in the cemetery to make space for new burials. Their discovery was met with a dramatic outbreak. Soon the policemen, the forensic, and the media were all over the place. The remainder of the gang had rushed in for the identification. At the devastating sight, Yugi had howled and hit the ground, half-crying, half-sobbing. Téa had stood in utter shock, voiceless and shaken to her core. Her cup of sorrow was not yet full. Initially, she had refused to acknowledge the butchery and identify the severed corpses as her friends. But her denial soon evaporated when Seto hugged her close.
He wiped her tears, and took her home.
Two months after their proper burial, Téa tried to re-launch the murder investigation. But the police denied her. They said that it was too late to determine the cause of the deaths.
