Denver County Jail Investigation Continued - Sun, Oct 8, 2017

Luke’s Recap of the Previous Events and the Current Situation

• The Delta Green cell, now called Masticate, assembled in Denver under the cover of being analysts for the DEA Task Force “Holiday.”
• Cole Parker arrived looking haunted, with a fresh bandage on his cheek.
• McCarter was accompanied by a new individual, “Agent Jay,” who stated he was there to monitor McCarter and leverage McCarter’s apparent ability to sense supernatural presences.
• The Denver County Jail was under suspicion after a prisoner (identified in the incident report as 179166, real name Radomir Resnick) died in custody.
• Most jail staff had called in sick, leaving it understaffed. Evidence logs, computer records, and logbook pages had been tampered with or destroyed.
• An incident report by Sergeant Edward Peláez indicated that the prisoner requested medical assistance, then supposedly attacked Peláez, killing a police dog before being burned to death after a flashbang ignited a contraband distilling setup.
• The team found inconsistencies: the security footage near cell 201 was deleted well before and after the incident. They also learned from Marshals Service contact Malcolm Coleman that the prisoner expelled something unnatural from his body.

Exploring the Jail’s Security Office

• Masticate discovered an office with several unattended computers still logged in.
• They confirmed that logs and camera footage for the timeframe of the incident were deliberately erased.
• They noted that the official incident report did not match claims about the camera or the possible presence of contraband alcohol.

Examining Resnick’s Background via the Jail Computers

• Cole Parker used one of the still-logged-in terminals to look up prisoner 179166, identified as Radomir Resnick.
• Arrest history:
  • Arrested on October 7th (the day before the incident) for public intoxication and disturbing the peace.
  • Just released from prison that same morning after serving six years for burglary.
  • Prior record included multiple arrests for solicitation, possession, and eventually burglary.
• A sealed record was noted for Resnick under the Colorado Department of Human Services Division of Youth Services, suggesting a troubled background.
• The team suspected Resnick might have been a former resident of Cornucopia House (given his age and the sealed youth record), but they did not confirm it at this point.

Searching for Additional Clues and the Jail’s IT Staff

• The group sought out the jail’s IT support to determine who deleted or altered the footage.
• They located Elijah Carter, a 25-year-old who maintained the jail’s computers.
• Carter confirmed that large chunks of footage were deleted by Lieutenant Jordan Thompson. However, he saw evidence of a copy command performed earlier by Sergeant Peláez.
• Carter did not personally know why it was copied or if it still existed, but he showed where Peláez had accessed and saved the files before the mass deletion.
• Carter handed over his contact info after Masticate stressed federal laws on tampering with evidence. He feared getting blamed, so he cooperated.

Seeking Out Sergeant Peláez

• The group learned Sergeant Peláez was on duty in Block 2, the same section that housed cell 201.
• On the way, Masticate passed cell 201:
  • It showed clear signs of fire damage and charring.
  • Blackened walls and sooty floor, with furniture removed.
  • The immediate area smelled unpleasant.
• The overall block felt subdued and tense; inmates were keeping quiet, indicating something violent or frightening had recently happened.

Encounter with Sergeant Peláez

• Peláez was a middle-aged, salt-and-pepper-goateed officer who looked stressed and exhausted.
• He immediately said he wanted a lawyer, believing the DEA’s arrival might threaten his job and pension.
• The team persuaded him to cooperate by implying they could help him avoid blame.
• Peláez produced a USB drive and said he made a copy of the incident footage before it was destroyed. He insisted he was not responsible for the death.
• He handed over the drive, declaring he also stashed additional copies in case he was scapegoated.

Watching the Deleted Video

• Back in the security office, Masticate used a computer to view the footage from Peláez’s USB drive.
• The timestamp matched the morning of October 8th, around 6:45 AM.
• The camera, positioned outside cell 201, showed:
  • Resnick entering the cell while violently coughing.
  • Officers shouting at him to be quiet.
  • A canine officer (revealed to be Sergeant Peláez) brought in a German Shepherd. The dog was unleashed to attack Resnick, biting him repeatedly.
  • Resnick collapsed, coughing and retching on the floor, partially out of the camera’s view.
  • There was laughter from officers in the hallway, loud barking, and the audio peaked out.
  • Suddenly, Resnick’s body spasmed, and a mass of organs (including his lungs) violently erupted from his mouth.
  • This fleshy mass whipped around the cell, wrapped itself around the dog, and flung the animal across the walls, severely injuring or killing it.
  • Blood spattered the hallway and across the camera lens.
  • Roughly 40 seconds later, a heavy plastic bag of flammable liquid was tossed into the cell, burst open, and spread accelerant.
  • The footage ended with the suggestion that a flashbang and fire erupted shortly afterward.

After Viewing the Horrific Footage

• Several agents steadied themselves, noting the unnatural nature of Resnick’s death and the apparent living, destructive mass that emerged from his body.
• Peláez insisted he had no idea how or why this happened and was desperate not to be held solely responsible.
• The team suspected the entire jail staff was trying to cover up excessive force and, more alarmingly, hide the supernatural event.

Second Conversation with Peláez

• Masticate returned to Peláez, who was clearly fearful of the horrifying images.
• They implied there could be a contagious or unnatural effect from the body’s eruption, heightening Peláez’s anxiety.
• They hinted at a “treatment” that Peláez might need, prompting him to give them all remaining USB copies.
• Peláez confirmed he had one more copy with his wife, who was off-site.
• He arranged for his wife to bring that USB to the jail.
• In the meantime, the team handed Peláez pills (actually a mix of harmless medications and vitamins) and told him to follow a strict schedule as if it were a real antidote.
• Terrified, Peláez quickly agreed.
• He left the jail, calling in sick to focus on this so-called treatment.

Session Conclusion and Next Steps

• With the jail footage secured, Masticate planned to proceed to the Denver coroner’s office to view Resnick’s remains.
• They suspected the autopsy, if conducted, would reveal unnatural evidence. They wanted to see the body themselves and possibly prevent any further discovery by non-Delta Green personnel.
• The team noted the heavy fire damage to Resnick’s corpse but believed there would still be crucial clues at the coroner’s facility.
