Sullivan's Body was recovered within her home Saturday following the Barbeque. No charges have been made at this point in time and Hawkins P.D asks for the towns continued cooperation in complying with the curfew until the investigation is over.

No, really. The admin team is gathered here today to give you an update! Because we really, really believe in this premise and want to give it the shot it deserves-- we are going to postpone the opening of Lost in Hawkins until Stranger Things season five premiers. Lost in Hawkins is really something we can't pull off without the core character slots filled. We figure that when there's more interest in Stranger Things in general, we'll get more buzz over here!
So, check back in 2025! If you'd like to stay in the loop in the meantime-- feel free to friend Admin Nikki on Discord ( @nikkiderogatory ).
This is our first MANDATORY task here at lostinhawkins! Following the news about Sgt. Sully’s untimely passing, all of our heroes have been carted into Hawkins P.D. for questioning. Below are the interrogation questions; Please answer all of the procedural questions and choose a minimum of three investigation questions to respond to in character on your blog. Feel free to get creative! Use gifs or don’t– the world is your oyster. We just ask that you complete the task no later than July 25* and link your post in the #tasks channel of the discord so we can read it. We will be using this as an activity check, so if you don’t complete it on time, the admin team will be reaching out to gauge your interest in the group. Cheers!
You don’t know how long ago Officer Callahan dropped you in the interrogation room and gave a lackluster rendition of your Miranda rights. All you know is it all feels like a bit much considering you’re not actually under arrest– the one-way mirror, the bright, buzzing LED lights, the purposely uncomfortable metal chair that scrapes louder than anything you’ve ever heard.
What feels like hours later, Chief Powell finally enters the interrogation room. The door swings shut with a click behind him. He flips open a notepad and pulls at the pencil behind his ear, scribbling something down before you’ve even said anything. You can’t tell if he’s tired or annoyed or… playing good cop/bad cop with Callahan or something.

Happy August, Hawkins! Though the record-breaking heat doesn’t seem to be dying down anytime soon, it’s nearly time for every parent’s favorite time of year: back to school! With so many happenings around town to celebrate, here at the Post we’ve got all the festivities summed up to make the most of this jam-packed weekend.
As students all around Hawkins soak up their last few days in the sun, the entire town rallies to send the Fighting Tigers into a successful year! Main street will be shut down beginning at 1:00 p.m. Friday, August 5 until the bash ends at 11:00 p.m. Local businesses will have booths on Main and remarks from Principal Higgins and Coach Beiste will commence promptly at 6:15 p.m.
Come stop by Hawkins High for a school supply drive occurring during the annual Freshman Focus day on Saturday, August 6! Seniors will be paired with an incoming freshman to usher through their schedule and the ins and outs of high school starting promptly at 9:00 am. Volunteer shifts for build-a-backpack start at 8:30 am, with all supplies going to fellow students in need!
Head by the Hawkins Public Pool for the end of summer bash not to be missed before hours change for the fall! Sunday, August 7 will be the end of normal operating hours before the pool closes daily at 6:00 pm for the rest of the season. Stop by for swim races and the first ever diving competition starting promptly at noon!
Hawkins Public School District’s first day for the 1988-1989 school year will be Monday, August 8. The carpool line is sure to be atrocious– so get there early! The rest of town will feel eerily quiet, but honestly? Many local business owners are relieved that the ruffians and hellions are locked up somewhere for a couple of hours! Finally we can restock the damn canned goods aisle in peace. Seniors will be ushered into a day-long senior assembly and underclassmen will brave the hallways, backpacks in hand! Make sure to stop by Melvald’s for all your supplies, as their annual back-to-school sale will be held Thursday, August 4 through Tuesday, August 9!
The Wheeler household is the epitome of Suburban Paradise, and despite Ted Wheeler’s recent absence, Karen is determined to continue dazzling Hawkins’ citizens with her hosting skills with a barbeque on Saturday, August 13. The barbeque welcomes all! Expect gorgeous arrays of food, cornhole, and mindless chatter with the people of Hawkins. But good luck finding something to drink if you’re underage!
