Field notes
The case brief names the five passengers and places their trip from Los Angeles to a rented beach house in Big Sur. It says Evan Ash was found below a guardrail after the car stopped at a cliffside pullout, with no clear signs of a struggle. The reading-room interface displays 40 discoveries and lets readers write an ending at any point; the page frames those choices as part of how the case is assembled.
