Newspaper article from 2003 sourced from the evidence file.

Jewelry enthusiast, [REDACTED], uses wealth to purchase coal vein rumored to hold minerals that could make her a millionaire. Townsfolk doubt the legitimacy of these claims.

When asked what she plans to use the wealth for she responds

"Simply put, I want to put it back into the community. The town may be small but some of the minds here are far from it. I want to run for mayor and change this town into a place where we can grow the next generation of geniuses!"

She proceeds to explain how she would do so by putting the money into schools and bulding a university. She then proceeds to talk about the possibilities of diamonds in the coal vein as she shows off her collection of diamond jewelry.

Townsfolk are against the idea and show a dislike towards her. Most say she always tries some get rich quick scheme and claim its for the good of the people.

"Just last week she was goin' on and on about the concept of digital stocks with... what was it called? Cryptic currency? She's been investing in all that and is tryin' to get us in on it too, callin' it the future of money."

Despite the backlash, [REDACTED] went through with the plan and hired local men and a nearby mining company to excavate for her. Those who we know are on the team are...

[ALL REDACTED] and Tobiah Rodger, who is coming out of retirement from the mining business for his family.
