Blink and you'll miss it. Oh, that's not advice. That's just the next two things you're going to do. Welcome to Night Vale. Hey, does anyone hear that sound behind the sky? It's like a hundred matches being struck at once. Or it's like the bones in your pinky finger snapping. Or it's like teeth being run through an industrial grinder. I would say in the sky, but that's not right. In the sky, there are clouds and black helicopters and unidentified aircraft. Normal stuff like that. But this sound is coming from behind the sky. Does anyone hear it? It sounds like a heart breaking. Or it sounds like an important letter being torn up. Or it sounds like the way that losing at chess feels. It's the darndest thing.
Haven't heard anything like it. And I also didn't know sounds came from behind the sky, so I'm learning a lot right now. If anyone else is hearing that, please call in. You'll know the sound if you hear it. It sounds like a Toyota truck being slowly covered by thousands of tons of sand. More on that, if anything more happens, but first... Dana's investigation of the murders of Marcus Vanston and intern Jalyn Rutherford continues. She has called and left me a voicemail. Let's give it a listen together.
Hi, Cecil. I keep coming back to certain strange financial transactions that Marcus Vanston made in the days before his death. As the saying goes, if you want to get to the truth, give chase to the cash. Marcus was making regular donations to his local church, Our Lady of Temporary Salvation. He said that he wasn't personally religious, but that whenever anyone gets mad about the egregious oppressive power billionaires have on our country, it looked good if he sort of gestured at religion every once in a while. Plus, he was literally an angel. But his donations stopped after he had a private meeting with Harrison Kipp. The rumor is that he promised Harrison Kipp's religion a lot of money. Then, instead of donating to Harrison directly, he donated a few million dollars to the community college.
But at that point, I lost track of it. It gets shuffled around in bookkeeping that's way more complicated than a community college needs. One thing I know for sure, the donation never made it to Harrison Kipp, if that's where it was supposed to go. So where did that money disappear to? And how did Harrison Kipp react when he didn't receive the promised funds?
Wow, that sounds like some exciting intrigue. It's almost like an episode of Antler Cove. Except, of course, that a real person, an angel, died. And now, cooking tips from an old stone tablet I found in the parking lot.
