The file

Released in full by the Property & Evidence Division. The suspect file is reproduced below, followed by every item logged into evidence with it.

Two-page LVMPD case file for suspect Francisco Lartsinis, showing the suspect profile with mugshot, the interview transcript, and the evidence recovered.

The evidence

The lead in Lartsinis’ file is the interview itself. He kept the mask on, refused to answer a single question straight, and instead sang the detectives a fourteen–line song that he claims contains the location of what he hid. Two surveillance hits from the weeks before the breach are logged with it, along with the booking placard from the night he was detained and the leather book he was reading from. Everything is enlarged below until every word and every number is legible. Nothing is hidden behind another click — scroll and read.

An enlargement of the booking placard held in the mugshot, reading CASE #: NUBNUN HRYHUM 534, NAME: FRANCISCO LARTSINIS, CHARGE: PUBLIC RECITATION, BOOKING OFFICER: G.B. BELASO, DEPT.: CENTRAL TX DPS.
