The investigation into the locked room murder of the angel Marcus Vanston continues, as well as the murder of Jalen Rutherford, an intern applicant who was stabbed to death right here in the lobby of my radio station while I was broadcasting. Of course, the emotional impact of Jalen's death is diminished slightly by the fact that his doppelganger showed up in a sandstorm last month, And he's been an awesome intern for us, so it's like it never happened, right? If I only saw a dead body stabbed violently by a still at-large killer, but that dead body got replaced by a duplicate, then there are no lasting psychological effects or repercussions. It's just like how my former intern, Dana Cardinal, killed her double with a stapler back in 2013, and she went on to become mayor.
So sometimes murder isn't a total loss. But maybe we were just lucky in those cases. I don't recommend decriminalizing murder, like those people at the town hall meeting last Tuesday were. Oh, they've in fact forced a referendum onto the ballot this fall. The referendum reads, Eliminate criminal charges against any citizen with a totally legit reason to kill some jerk. A yes vote authorizes law enforcement to not avoid declining prosecution of such a crime. A no vote doesn't not do the opposite. So, as of now, both murders of Jalen Rutherford and Marcus Vanston are considered major felonies, and that's probably good. But I will be doing my own research into this matter. Oh, speaking of Dana, she came by the station looking for Jalen.
Because of their similar situations involving dead doppelgangers, she thought he might like to join her at this weekly support group called Doubles Anonymous. It's for people who either killed their double or who are their double who killed them. Dana also wanted to talk with Jalen about what he knew about Marcus Vanston since he worked directly with Marcus before the murders. More on this soon, but first, a public service announcement. Night Vale, as you know, today is April 1st, which is, of course, April Fool's Day. This is a day where we celebrate pranks and tricks and lies in order to laugh about other people feeling bad.
