In the early morning on September 2nd, 2021, the clouds were ominous in the sky as the sanitary engineers began collecting garbage in the neighbourhood of Pleasantville, a small community in the town of Goodland.

The garbage bins were tossed to the ground, making the sound of music of a different beat. Soon after, the winds began blowing powerful pieces of paper began flying around the area like feathers. Unable to gather them up as the garbage bin was being emptied.

In the distance, the clouds became darker, and the threat of rain was eminent. As the garbage was being collected, suddenly the collection was stopped, when the arm of a child was seen hanging out from the garbage bin in front of house number 313 on Evans Road.

The police were called, and within five minutes they were on the scene, taping of the area where the garbage bin was located. While other officers were looking for clues around the house, the occupants were being questioned by other police officers.

The flashing lights of the police vehicles brought out the curious neighbours, and the gossipers who lived on the street, soon after the news agencies, Television Stations, Radio Station and reporters were on the scene.

The area was adorned with gigantic oak trees, and the front of the houses were well manicured. The neighbours knew each other except the occupants of house number 313, who kept themselves away as much as possible, with the occasional wave of their hands as greetings.

The occupants of house number 313 were two parents and their two daughters, who had their own personality and charm about them. The father's name was Aldo Rogers, mother's name was Sherley Rogers, the eldest daughter's name was Alexandra and youngest daughter's name was Samantha.

The gossipers could be heard within the crowd saying. I knew something like this would happen eventually, but others in the crowd told the gossipers to be quiet, stop speculating, and wait for the news to be televised or broadcast.

The police officers at the scene called in for detectives to continue the investigation. The police officers who were present were going about asking the neighbours questions. If they had seen or heard anything that night or early morning.

It did not take long for the news agencies to converge in the neighbourhood, asking the bystanders questions about what took place, and why the police were there at house number 313. After questioning the occupants of the house, the lead detective investigating the case asked the Rogers' family to report to the station in the morning to answer more questions.

The police officers or detectives did not answer questions that were asked by the news reporters, but said; they will hold a press conference in the coming days, and left the area while leaving the reporters baffled.

The next day, as the dawn came, the Rogers were up getting ready to keep their appointment with the detectives at the station, where more questioning needed to be answered about the arm that was found in one of their garbage bins.

They were escorted to the station by a vehicle driven by a police, and did not want any delays whatsoever. The street was lined with onlookers who got up early as well as the news agencies.

At the station, they were greeted by a policewoman, who showed them to separate interviewing rooms where they will be questioned by the detectives who are on the team with Detective Inspector Derek Browne, who is in charged on this case.

First to be interviewed was the youngest daughter, Samantha Rogers. She has brown hair down to her shoulders, brown eyes, a light brown complexion with a beautiful smile, stood around five feet eight inches, weighing around one hundred and forty pounds.

Entering the interviewing room, the two detectives introduced themselves.

Interviewee: You are welcome. Wish I could help more.

Det. Gopaul: That’s ok. We will take it from here. An officer will drive you to work. After your      sister's interview.
