Report on the search of Father Rodrigo Blanco’s apartment. 

 Although the report would confirm a suicide hypothesis, new elements come and suggest that Father Blanco was involved in a both mysterious and dangerous matter. These new elements emerged after a search of his private room in the Church of The Holy Spirit.

 
A very dark room, raw but not untidy. A dusty month-old newspaper has been found under his bed. No notes on it.

 
Amidst his clothes in the wardrobe, a travel guide of Venezuela, Father’s homeland.

 
At the foot of his bedside table, his diary.

Some pages are missing, probably ripped off, but those remaining suggest that the priest had secret meetings with the deceased Seth Warner, during which Father Blanco gave the journalist information about a highly classified matter we have not details about, details presumably written on the ripped pages mentioned above.

Forensics found, in a hidden compartment of the diary, a piece of paper with the following sentence written on (sentence which is now in the hands of our Intelligence): 

7:3 9:4 14:1 amen

 
The bed was untidy, a clue indicating that Blanco was sleeping before he went out the Church, entered the car and, still a hypothesis, killed himself.

 
Two other strange elements are the presumed disappearance of a small strongbox that used to be on Father Blanco’s bedside table (according to the housekeeper’s testimony) and the absence of any sign of breaking on the door.

The only one who owns the room keys, besides Father Blanco and the housekeeper, is Father Donovan, who is, however, above suspicion, given his good terms with Blanco and the other priests and the total lack of any motive.
