DOCUMENTATION ON RECOVERED MEDIA Title: “Tommy Parsons’ Personal Audio Logs, Tape 2” Creator: Tommy Parsons Date of Origin: late-May 1989 Location of Origin: Tommy Parsons Recovery Date: 03/12/2020 Recovery Location: Near some rocks close to a cliffside along the Pinewood Trail, VA ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Tommy Parsons was a 1989 high school graduate from [REDACTED] High School in Virginia who inexplicably went missing during a solo backpacking trip through the Appalachian Mountains in late May of that same year. Despite authorities conducting a thorough month-long search of the area where Pinewood Trail is located and interviewing Tommy's various relatives and friends to determine if foul play or some other circumstance contributed to his disappearance, no evidence of Tommy’s whereabouts could be recovered. Given the supplies and equipment Tommy was believed to have had on the outset of his trip, he was assumed to have died of malnutrition roughly 6 months following his disappearance. The case would fade into obscurity for just under three decades until mid-March 2020, where a young couple on a day-hike along Pinewood Trail discovered a relatively pristine audiocassette tape off the side of the trail while the boyfriend was in the restroom. Unsure what to do with it, they delivered the tape to an undercover Minerva agent posing as a park ranger, who listened to the tapes content’s and quickly discovered that these were the audio logs that Tommy had recorded while on his trip. The ranger notified other Minerva agents in an attempt to recover any more audio tapes, using a routine trail inspection as a cover for the operation. Currently, five tapes in total have been recovered, but agents are currently awaiting additional tapes in order to determine the proper order of events. This tape provides more evidence supporting the anomalous might have been at play; however, additional evidence is needed to corroborate this notion. THIS REPORT WAS WRITTEN BY “G
