A folded paper has been found among Seth Warner’s personal belongings, precisely among his ID documents. On this paper there are handwritten notes concerning what seems to appear the word “CIDE”.
Forensics’ analysis show the deceased’s fingerprints only. We thus might suppose he wrote the note himself.
More questions than answers arise round that word, and the random disposition of each phrase suggests a total lack of criteria and order in that research. Still, the term “father” seems to indicate an investigation more than a simple research, or, to better match the victim’s journalistic vocabulary, an enquiry about someone or something. This evidence, along with the facts and the sequence of events happened after the victim’s death, brought me to a deepest analysis of the note contents, whose peculiarities might suggest a link to the strange circumstances of the presumptive suicide.
Waiting to find the mentioned individual, I focused on those four letters as if they were parts of the same word. What follows is the first result of my web research:
The -cide suffix describes killing. Homicide (Latin homo = human) means to kill a person. Suicide is built on the Latin sui (= of oneself). Originally -cide meant to cut. For centuries killing was mostly accomplished with a sword or knife.
