D2 – UNOFFICIAL TIMELINE OF EVENTS IN THE FAZBEAR MURDERS, VERSION #2, CREATED BY LEAD INVESTIGATOR JANE PETERSON AND DETECTIVE EDUARDO REYES
April 17th, XXXX (THREE YEARS AGO) – KARL BORSOVICH's daughter, CECILIA LAMBERTY-BORSOVICH, is lured outside of a friend's birthday party at FREDDY FAZBEAR'S PIZZA, ILLINOIS LOCATION. She is kidnapped and murdered by an UNKNOWN MASKED KILLER in a PURPLE SWEATSHIRT and BLACK CAR, and hidden in the FOXY animatronic. Her body is removed an unspecified amount of time later (BY WHO?) and was never found. (THERE MUST HAVE BEEN OTHERS… WE NEED TO FIND THEM. CAN WE TALK TO KARL'S EX-WIFE?)
July 5th, XXXX (THREE YEARS AGO) – The police investigation of the "PURPLE MAN" closes, with no witnesses, evidence or suspects. It becomes a cold case and the files are sealed. It has been confirmed that BORSOVICH was a primary suspect due to his poor relationship with his estranged wife, who had custody of CECILIA at the time, but he was cleared of suspicion when he proved he was not in the state at the time. KARL BORSOVICH is furious at the police for "giving up" on his daughter and suspects a cover-up, but his concerns are ignored and the case never reopens. (IS THIS "PURPLE MAN" OUR "FAZBEAR KILLER"?)
August 29th, XXXX (THREE YEARS AGO) – The FOXY animatronic malfunctions in an unspecified way (CAN WE INTERVIEW ANYONE FROM THE ILLINOIS LOCATION ABOUT THIS?) and is retired for "repairs" and later resale.
September 1st, XXXX (THREE YEARS AGO) – The ILLINOIS LOCATION closes due to declining business, likely as a result of the bad publicity and murder(s) that took place there. The animatronics are sold back to the parent company, Fazbear Entertainment, and are put into storage. (WHERE? EDDIE, DO WE HAVE WAREHOUSE RECORDS?)
December 9th – JASON QUINCEY buys a vacant building to build his restaurant. He orders animatronics from a robotics company in Ohio, Joymakers LLC, which in turn orders them from Fazbear Entertainment. Fazbear ships the damaged robots for a mere five dollars, and tells JASON they might be in need of repairs on arrival. JASON consents to the deal, a decision he will later regret.
December 10th – JASON QUINCEY hires a contractor, MELANIE POOLE, to work on the construction and design of the restaurant. (WHO IS THIS CONTRACTOR? WE ONLY HAVE A NAME… EDDIE, TRACK HER DOWN!)
January 3rd – The animatronics are delivered to JASON QUINCEY, and he apparently fails to spot the missing serial numbers and signs of decay and damage. He inspects them for safety, and notices a CHILD'S TENNIS SHOE (EVIDENCE A) lodged in Foxy's machinery. He removes it and hides it in his wall safe before calling a mechanic, KARL BORSOVICH, to inspect the robots for damage. At this point it is unknown if he was aware that the shoe belonged to Karl's murdered daughter, CECILIA, but he insists he did not know this at the time.
January 4th – KARL BORSOVICH arrives and inspects the robots, and finds nothing unusual. JASON QUINCEY does not disclose the discovery of the SHOE for fear of legal action against his restaurant.
January 18th – JASON QUINCEY officially opens his local branch of Freddy Fazbear's pizza and begins hiring employees. The first day is uneventful, and no reported or rumored incidents occur.
January 19th – Recent college graduate DRESDEN LOCKWOOD is hired as DAY AND NIGHT GUARD after a five-minute interview. QUINCEY describes him as "cheerful" and "trustworthy," and notes that he always came in on time, unlike his later employee, ANTONIO. The two become good friends.
January 22nd – Line chef THEA MULDOON is hired for FOOD PREPARATION, and soon becomes irritated at QUINCEY's unwanted advances towards her, but does not have any other jobs lined up and decides to stay until she finds a better option.
February 2nd – INCIDENT C1 occurs.
February 27th – INCIDENT C2 occurs, FOXY malfunction. FOXY is retired for safety reasons.
August 3rd – INCIDENT C3 occurs, BONNIE malfunction. One child injured. QUINCEY agrees to have the animatronics inspected once per month as part of litigation deal, but does not uphold his end of the bargain, worried that more evidence will be found in the inspections and unwilling to call BORSOVICH again.
September 5th – INCIDENT C4 occurs.
September 19th – INCIDENT C5 occurs. Last reported incident before murders begin.
October 1st – DRESDEN is fired as DAY AND NIGHT GUARD for "HYGIENE CONCERNS," but likely because QUINCEY had begun to notice his mental decline and wanted to get rid of him quickly. QUINCEY seeks out two fast hires to fill the void. DRESDEN becomes paranoid and insane, locking himself in his flat. He is later confined to a mental hospital and becomes babbling and incoherent, drawing pictures of the animatronics and describing them as "demons." (WHY?)
October 2nd – College student KATE HUDSON is hired as NIGHT GUARD after a brief interview with JASON QUINCEY. He describes her as "shy" but "very sweet" and kind to the other employees. She seems especially fond of ANTONIO upon his hiring a day later, and ANTONIO mentions that she often took time to listen to his problems and make him coffee.
October 3rd – Unemployed ANTONIO BENEDICTO is hired as DAY GUARD after an interview with QUINCEY, in which he claims he disclosed a good deal of his extensive medical history, but did not disclose the attack on him as a child. He was on six prescribed medications at the time, including an antipsychotic (Prazosin), seizure medication (Klonopin) and two antidepressants (Prozac and Paxil). He frequently took melatonin supplements to help him sleep, which often resulted in him oversleeping and being late to work, a fact that annoyed his manager, QUINCEY.
October 5th – ANTONIO witnesses two unreported incidents where FREDDY stares at a child and behaves strangely, and later hears the child asking FREDDY strange questions that seem related to the discovery. When he asks QUINCEY to explain, the man brushes him off. He resolutely insists he was not dreaming and did not imagine it.
October 17th – ANTONIO is given an informal reprimand for repeatedly showing up late. QUINCEY threatens to fire him if he doesn't get his act together.
November 25th – ANTONIO is fired for lateness and sleeping on the job, accusations he vehemently denies. QUINCEY hands him his last paycheck and points him out the door. ANTONIO leaves and does not return.
December 9th – START OF MURDER WINDOW.
December 13th – JASON QUINCEY lets his brother, BEN QUINCEY, borrow his key to get into the restaurant after hours and retrieve his wallet. Exterior camera footage shows BEN entering the building at exactly 10:02 PM. KATE usually didn't arrive until midnight, so we can presume the building was empty at the time. He was inside for about fifteen minutes before leaving with a leather wallet in his hand at 10:18 PM. Dusting confirms his prints on JASON's wallet, implying he is telling the truth, but he was inside for much longer than he claimed and it is unknown what else he was doing in there, since the NIGHT CAMERAS inside the building were not programmed to turn on until midnight exactly to conserve power.
December 14th – KATE arrives for her usual shift. Around 1:00 AM, she witnesses CHICA moving around at night and banging pans in the kitchen. Terrified, she flees the security office. When she calls QUINCEY to report the strange behavior, he drives over right away. Exterior camera footage shows KATE watching him enter the building at 1:25 AM, to presumably shut down the animatronic; however, his activities during this time are undocumented, as the cameras were malfunctioning for unknown reasons. (ARE WE SURE ABOUT THIS? WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE CAMERAS…) He reemerges at 1:37 AM and fires her on the spot. A nearby jewelry store's security camera catches her leaving in her car, a red Chevy Cruze, and she claims she has not been back to the restaurant since.
December 16th – END OF MURDER WINDOW.
December 17th – HEALTH CODE VIOLATION. Animatronics are reported to smell and leak strange fluid, and parents complain. QUINCEY is ordered to clean the robots, and does. He insists this was not related to the discovery of the bodies and was merely a result of the robots' aging fur covering. When pressed as to whether he opened them for the cleaning, he vehemently denies it, insisting he only cleaned and scrubbed the surface fur and did not know about the bodies hidden inside. (LINKED TO DISCOVERY OF BODIES? IF SO, THIS MIGHT HELP US NARROW WINDOW OF KILLINGS… SMELL SUGGESTS DECOMPOSITION IS OCCURRING)
December 28th – Discovery of the bodies. Mechanic KARL BORSOVICH is called in by QUINCEY to look at, but not open, the robots. He opens them anyway, apparently out of spite and revenge, and discovers the cadavers hidden inside. The restaurant is closed immediately while employees and associates are called in for interrogation and questioning. The employees called in were ANTONIO BENEDICTO, JASON QUINCEY, KATE HUDSON and KARL BORSOVICH, in that order. THEA MULDOON was questioned at a later date.
December 30th – Coroner releases autopsy report. Bodies are between two and three weeks old and bled out from multiple stab wounds to the torso. Badly damaged from animatronic parts and gears. This places our MURDER WINDOW between DECEMBER 9th and DECEMBER 16th. During this time, BEN and JASON were in the restaurant after hours and their activities were not caught on camera; KATE was still an employee but ANTONIO was not, and KATE's nightly activities were almost entirely caught on camera, including lunch breaks and bathroom breaks; and BORSOVICH had not yet been called in, having only visited once several months prior. However, BORSOVICH had a strong motive to get revenge on the company where his daughter was murdered and extensive knowledge of the robots from his earlier inspection. It is also possible that ANTONIO made a copy of their work keys to get back in the building after his firing.
Final verdict: Still uncertain, but we're getting closer to our killer. THEA MULDOON and KATE HUDSON have been almost fully cleared of suspicion, and we have no need to question them further. KARL BORSOVICH is highly unlikely, but still possible. ANTONIO BENEDICTO is also still possible, but something tells me he's not our man. JASON QUINCEY was arrested for hiding evidence and obstructing justice, and is still not off the table as our killer; nor is his brother, BEN QUINCEY, who was in the restaurant during our murder window with no record of his activities. I'm not entirely convinced the murders occurred at the restaurant; perhaps they were killed in another location and then brought there to hide them, although how that was done without being caught on external cameras is a complete mystery.
B23 – THE PERSONAL DIARY OF DETECTIVE PETERSON, LEAD INVESTIGATOR OF THE FAZBEAR MURDERS
[Peterson is in the driver's seat of her car, her father's old grey pickup truck, with Eddie in the passenger seat flicking through crime scene photos on his phone. The camera sits perched on the console as Peterson navigates traffic and contemplates the strange new details of the case aloud.]
"Okay, we've got our new timeline. But I'm still not sure how the killer got the bodies into the restaurant, let alone got inside in the first place – they must have been an employee, I'm almost positive of that now. Now that we have all this external camera footage, I'm sure something would have been caught if a shady guy been dragging loaded-up tarps around the parking lot." [Peterson turns into a darkened parking lot.] "We have to dig deeper. We're still missing something. There's some vital piece we haven't found yet, some crucial clue that solves everything."
"Exactly." [Eddie pockets his phone.] "Maybe there's some kind of secret entrance? A back door where the cameras didn't reach, and only employees would know about?"
"That's why we're here." [Peterson stops the car and picks up the camera from the console, and we see that they have parked in front of Jason Quincey's franchise location of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, now shuttered and dark as the investigation progresses.] "Come on, Eddie. We're paying this hellhole a visit."
"I hope you have your gun." [Eddie hops out and watches as she exits the car and unlocks the door with Jason's key.] "I'd rather not get jumped by a fuzzy murder-bunny while we're poking around."
"Don't worry, the animatronics were removed for the investigation. They're not here." [Peterson opens the door, and they step together into the darkened restaurant; Eddie turns on his flashlight, and it illuminates the checkered floor and eerily silent exterior of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It is dead quiet, and there are still party hats and colorful plates on the tables; the stage is empty, but looms ominously over the scene, casting huge shadows across the floor.]
[Eddie shivers and makes the Sign of the Cross, as though to ward off the demons of this place.] "I don't like it here, Jane."
"We won't be here long." [She checks her watch; it's 11:49 PM.] "There's just something I need to see."
[Eddie looks nervously at the empty stage.] "You don't really think this place is haunted, do you?"
"Of course not. We've talked about this. Real people are dead – this is no time for ghosts and conspiracy theories." [Peterson turns on her own flashlight and shines it down a hallway.] "The security office is this way. Come on."
"Why are we going there?" [Eddie follows her down the hall warily, still shooting fearful looks around.] "Kate was the last one in there."
"I want to see the cameras. They kept malfunctioning at important times in our murder window, and that makes me suspicious. Maybe it wasn't a malfunction at all." [Peterson tries to open the security door, then frowns.] "That's weird."
"What?"
"The door is locked." [She tries to peer through the grimy window; she can just barely make out the office inside, through a haze of grease and cobwebs. The desk is covered in old food wrappers, with a lone computer that looks like it was made in the eighties. No one is visible inside.] "Why the hell would it be locked?"
"I don't know. At least we have a key, right?"
"Slight problem with that. Quincey told me that the security doors can only be opened from the inside after hours, as a security measure. We'll have to go cut the power in the back room to open them."
[Eddie gapes at her, horrified.] "You want to cut the power?"
"It's already pitch black in here. It's not like it can get any darker. Besides, these doors are the only thing on."
"As far as we know." [Eddie shivers again, but keeps his nerve; he visibly steels himself and follows Peterson down the hall and out into the party room. He keeps one hand on his gun, almost unconsciously.] "I can see why Antonio doesn't like this place. It makes you feel things."
"Don't go crazy on me, Eddie. I need you sharp."
"I'm fine." [He takes his hand off the gun, forcing himself to stay calm.] "Just a little unnerved."
"I'll agree that this place isn't a picnic." [Peterson approaches the back room door and reaches for the doorknob, then frowns.] "Strange."
"What?"
"It's already open." [Bewildered, Peterson slowly edges the door open.]
[The light from their flashlights illuminates the crumpled body on the floor, stuffed into a Freddy Fazbear suit and oozing blood. Jason Quincey's sightless eyes stare up at them, his mouth agape in a silent scream.]
[Eddie claps a hand over his mouth, eyes huge with horror.] "Holy shit. Holy shit. Quincey –"
"Shh." [Peterson's eyes dart over everything, taking in the scene.] "He wanted us to see this. He's here. Or he was."
[Eddie slowly reaches into his pocket.] "Jane –"
"What?"
"This is the photograph I got in the mail. Look." [His hands shaking, he hands her the picture that was sent to him. Peterson's eyes widen as she takes in the slumped cadaver stuffed into a Freddy suit, a crime scene photograph from three years ago. It's the exact same pose the killer has forced Quincey into.] "He's reenacting the old murders from three years ago. He sent me this picture to show me."
[Peterson looks at it for a long time, then pockets the photograph.] "Sick bastard." [She slowly steps into the room, careful to step around drops of blood; Eddie stays in the doorway, shaking badly, as she kneels down beside Quincey's mangled body. There is something lying on the floor next to him. She lifts it up into the light, slowly, for Eddie to see.]
[A single child's tennis shoe.]
[Eddie exhales slowly.] "You don't think –"
"The perfect crime." [Peterson stares at the shoe, her expression unreadable.] "A father whose daughter was murdered, desperate with grief, kills more children in some twisted attempt to get her back, over the span of three years. Then, when he finds out Quincey hid a piece of evidence and helped the original killer get away, he stabs Quincey in a fit of rage and leaves him to bleed out in a robot suit, the way his daughter died all those years ago. He even leaves the shoe next to him as a memento, a reminder of his crime for Quincey to stare at as he dies."
"You think it was him."
"No." [She puts the shoe back down.] "He's being framed. It's too perfect – he's a vulnerable, emotionally damaged target with too much against him, just like Antonio, and who better to pin a murder on? But we have to take him in anyway, in case I'm wrong. There's too much evidence against him to let him go now."
"If it wasn't him, then who was it? How are we going to prove he's innocent when it looks this bad? Our other number one suspect was just murdered. All we have left now are Antonio and Ben, and we don't have enough to pin it on either of them, other than opportunity and means. Karl is the clear outlier –"
"It wasn't him." [Peterson rises and takes out her phone.] "I know it."
"How the hell do you know?"
"Deduction, Eddie. Even if he somehow swiped a key to the restaurant, which I highly doubt, how would he have known that the fuse box was located in the back room, and that the doors of the security office are programmed to open when that power is cut? How would he have set this all up before we got here and driven away without the cameras outside spotting his car? Something tells me he would be pretty damn hard to miss – I don't know if you noticed, but the guy drives a Royce."
"I don't know. He did say he studied the Illinois place –"
"But not this place. Only a security guard would have known how the doors and power worked in this location, and Quincey himself. And now Quincey's dead."
[Eddie frowns.] "Are you saying Antonio's the killer?"
"No. He wasn't the night guard. But guess who was?"
[His eyes widen.] "You can't be serious. Are you suggesting Kate Hudson did all of this?"
"I don't think she's a killer. But I do think she knows a lot more than we realized, and we let her go. We removed her from suspicion too early." [Peterson dials rapidly on her phone.] "We need to track her down, and we need to get our team on this new crime scene. And we have to get Borsovich in for another round of questioning. Eddie, can you arrange that?"
"On it." [He taps a number on his own phone.] "I'll call in Thea Muldoon, too. She had a known grudge against Quincey for harassing her."
"Seems like everyone had a grudge against Quincey, but that might be a good idea. Get her in for a clearer statement on her whereabouts during the murder window." [Peterson leaves the back room with her phone pressed to her ear, calling in a team to take care of Quincey. Eddie lingers in the doorway, staring at the cadaver for a while longer; he sighs.] "Damn you, Quincey. I didn't like you, but you didn't deserve to die."
[He leaves to follow Peterson out, and shuts the door, drenching the room in darkness.]
F2 – THE PERSONAL DIARY OF DETECTIVE REYES, ASSISTANT INVESTIGATOR OF THE FAZBEAR MURDERS
[Eddie is holding the camera down at himself, lying in bed; it's clear that he hasn't slept well, and his eyes are ringed with purple. He sighs and massages his temple with his knuckles.]
"I can't sleep. Keep having nightmares about that damn Quincey murder. If this sick fuck is reenacting his old hits, then there's three more deaths to go. I wonder who else is on his list."
[He stills, and we hear blankets shifting; whoever he is sleeping next to just turned over. After a moment's pause, he speaks again, whispering now.]
"I got another photograph in the mail. Bonnie this time. Whoever's next, I'd bet anything they'll be in a bunny suit."
[He closes his eyes.]
"The message said, DO YOU LIKE MY GAME?"
