The Scribblings of a Distraught Mother

MURDER-SUICIDE at SNOWBERRY RANCH!
January 11, AC1720

A horrific tale coming from the peaceful farming village of Messaris!

The body of a local farmer's wife was found partially decomposed in her bedroom this afternoon by the Authorities after alchemist merchants associated with the farm were reporting they hadn't received their monthly shipment of reagents from Snowberry. Not far away was the body of her husband, identified to be the owner of the ranch by their business partners, one Hendrick C. Hargrave, a prolific farmer and businessman. 

Investigators concluded that Hargrave bludgeoned his wife with a trowel, and then proceeded to take his own life via hanging. Upon further questioning, friends of the family said that they seemed rather happy, and had recently birthed a child. The child has not been found as of this article's writing, and the authorities have declined to comment on whether or not they will continue searching for it as they seem to have hit a dead end.

The local constable has released a possible description of the missing toddler, and if you have any information that may possibly lead to its safe retrieval you are urged to come forward if you can.
