Topic: Bethel Park

During his investigation in Bethel Park, Doug Hagman and his team were reportedly placed under heavy surveillance by federal agents. After interviewing individuals who knew Thomas Crooks, Hagman was escorted to the county line by unmarked federal vehicles. He also discovered that someone had physically cut Crooks' picture out of high school yearbooks at the local public library just days before his team arrived to inspect them.

Reports indicate that the parents of Thomas Crooks called local police in Bethel Park three hours before the shooting to report him missing. The discussion shifts to advanced weaponry that could be used against political targets, such as x-ray lasers, neutron bombs, and kinetic "decapitation" weapons controlled by orbital platforms. These systems are described as being capable of penetrating deep underground bunkers.
