Ritz Graham

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 Ritz Graham, showing the suspect profile with mugshot, the interview transcript, and the evidence recovered.

The evidence

Graham’s file is the first in this investigation that does not point at a place. He walked the detectives through his motive and admitted to the gate and the alarms. The physical evidence is thin: two camera hits, a bag of his devices, and the case he carried them in. Everything is enlarged below until every word and every number is legible. Nothing is hidden behind another click — scroll and read.

Page two of the interview transcript, in which Graham explains his motive, refers the detective to the case of Suzanne Adams, states that Cicada is autonomous, and then answers three consecutive questions with the single words projcicada, vercel and app.
Page three of the interview transcript, ending with Graham suggesting the voice recording be run through ChatGPT, the interview terminated at 14:41 hrs, and conclusions stating that the search will likely be conducted digitally and the loot released to any safehouse in the continental U.S. contingent on a sequenced decryption.
