Hello everyone,
A new development: after days of intense investigations, it finally occurred to Detective Klaus and his team to dust the ransom note for fingerprints. The results are interesting.
On the note were three sets of prints. Two of the prints belong to two different unknown humans, and the third set of prints appears to belong to some sort of bovine. Who this cow could be, we do not know.
More on this story as it develops. In other news, there are only 34 hours left to contribute to our film! 15 dollars gets you a DVD!

Hello everyone,
Authorities have deemed Chuckie's disappearance a ratknapping. A ransom note has been located.
It seems whoever is behind this very much publicized crime is a lover of fudge brownies and possibly wheelbarrows. Detective Klaus von Teuberstein is set to make an announcement within the next day.
More on this story as it develops. I love you chuckie.

It seems something terrible has happened. Our dear friend and pet, Charles Bartholomew Bradley the Rodent, known to most as Chuckie the Rat, has disappeared. It is too early to say for certain, but there seems to be evidence of foul play.
Chuckie the Rat rose to stardom after famously portraying himself in the film The Trap! His newly found fame and wealth has been said to be a source of argument amongst his family and friends.
More on this investigation as it develops.
