Featured Case: Sarah Kim (2052)
Sarah Kim (Age 29)
Affiliation: Independent journalist, former SF Chronicle
Investigation: North Ribbon massacre - gathering survivor testimony
Last Known Activity: Sarah was interviewing North Ribbon survivors about Isabella Jean's order to fire on unarmed families. She had testimony from 8 survivors proving Jean's official report was fabricated.
Disappeared: June 14, 2052 (3 months after massacre)
Last Contact: Email to editor: "I have the evidence. Jean lied. They were unarmed. I'm meeting final witness tomorrow."
Evidence Found: Sarah's laptop (recovered from Belt settlement contact) contained:
- 8 survivor video interviews
- Jean's official report with handwritten notes proving contradictions
- Timeline proving Jean's version impossible
- Ballistic evidence showing executions, not "defensive fire"
Authority Version: "Sarah Kim chose to enter contaminated Belt regions without authorization. Presumed dead from exposure."
Truth: Sarah was investigating in safe Belt settlements. She disappeared after contacting Authority media relations for comment on Jean story. Her body was never found.
Pattern of Disappearances
The Pattern is Clear:
- 47 journalists investigating Authority crimes over 24 years
- ALL disappeared before publishing findings
- MOST had damning evidence ready to publish
- NONE died in "accidents" - all classified as "missing" or suspicious suicides
- ALL investigations died with them - evidence seized or destroyed
This isn't coincidence. This is systematic elimination of journalists who threaten Authority control.

I'm a researcher, not a journalist. But I honor these 47 people who died doing what journalism should do: speaking truth to power.
Every one of them knew the risk. Every one investigated anyway. Every one paid with their life.
Their work continues through this site. The evidence they gathered - I preserve it. The truth they died for - I publish it.
To the 47: Your investigations didn't die with you. Your evidence lives on.
