CASE-LINKED PERSONS OF INTEREST — LYC-72 “Wolfman”
────────────────────────────────────────────
Classification: LEVEL 4 — CLASSIFIED
Sector: Appalachian Region (WV/VA border)
Reference: Cassette Archive WLF-72-TAPES

PRIMARY PERSONS OF INTEREST

Jamie █████

  • Status: Deceased (August 1972). Body recovered, extensive mauling.

  • Notes: Younger brother of Cal. Field tapes suggest role as informal archivist; many surviving recordings captured in his voice. Exhibits steady skepticism but high emotional dependency on family unit. Death confirmed initial lethal capacity of LYC-72.

Cal █████

  • Status: Deceased (August 1972). Body recovered, extensive mauling.

  • Notes: Elder brother, dominant personality in group dynamics. Acts as guide in Appalachian terrain. Audio tapes reveal protective stance toward Jamie, and ambiguous emotional bond with Dez █████. Posthumous mimicry of his voice by LYC-72 documented in later capture attempts.

Desmond “Dez” █████

  • Status: Missing, Presumed Dead. Last seen August 1972; later anomalous appearances on CCTV (1973–1995).

  • Notes: Childhood friend of Jamie/Cal. Subject of partial assimilation/possession hypothesis. Behavior on recovered footage suggests residual human cognition (hesitation, direct eye contact with cameras). Debate ongoing: survivor host vs. entity manifestation.

SECONDARY PERSONS OF INTEREST

Parents/Family (█████ household)

  • Status: Civilian.

  • Notes: Initial reporters of disappearance. Withheld cooperation following recovery of mauled remains; cite federal overreach.

Local Law Enforcement (Green Hollow Sheriff’s Dept.)

  • Status: Civilian agency, disengaged.

  • Notes: Original responders; ruled case a “wild animal attack.” Some officers later filed complaints of hearing “Cal’s voice” on night patrols near site.

D.A.P. Field Teams (GREY FIR, HOLLOW FANG, STILLWATER)

  • Status: Multiple casualties/MIA.

  • Notes: Personnel names redacted. Survivors report auditory hallucinations consistent with anomaly. Two agents (H. ███, J. ███) later discharged on psychological grounds.

HERO / RESISTOR DESIGNATION

  • The trio (Jamie, Cal, Dez) collectively referred to in Directorate records as “The Hollow Tapes Witnesses.”

  • Surviving audio logs serve as both cultural artifact and operational hazard (voice contagion risk under review).

  • Internal debate: classify as victims of anomaly or first resistors whose recordings enabled present-day containment awareness.

    CASE-LINKED PERSONS OF INTEREST — LYC-72 “Wolfman”
    ────────────────────────────────────────────
    Name: Jamie █████
    DOB: 1956 (approx.)
    Status: Deceased (body recovered August 1972)
    Clearance Tag: CIVILIAN / CASSETTE WITNESS

    BACKGROUND

    • Family: Younger brother to Cal █████. Raised in Appalachian foothill town, described as quiet, bookish, and deferential to older sibling.

    • Community Notes: Local interviews describe Jamie as “the one with the tape deck.” Hobbyist recorder; often taped campfire stories, music off the radio, and conversations. Seen as shy but observant.

    • Connection to Dez █████: Childhood friend. Relied on Dez and Cal as his closest social circle.

    ROLE IN WLF-72 INCIDENT

    • Archivist Function: Most of the preserved audio comes from Jamie’s equipment. His habit of leaving the recorder running provides the clearest timeline of events.

    • Behavioral Markers on Tape:

      • Shows mounting anxiety but attempts to rationalize strange sounds (“must be a fox,” “probably Cal messing with me”).

      • Frequently seeks reassurance from Cal; tone of deference suggests strong sibling hierarchy.

      • Occasionally clashes with Dez when tensions rise; protective of his brother, insecure about his own place in the trio.

    • Last Known Actions: On final tape segment, Jamie’s breathing and whispered commentary suggest he remained behind while others scouted. Background captures what analysts identify as his own name spoken in Cal’s voice, followed by violent commotion. His death is considered the first direct confirmation of LYC-72 predation.

    RECOVERY DETAILS

    • Body Condition: Located near camp perimeter, severe thoracic trauma. Autopsy inconclusive—bite pattern inconsistent with bear or wolf, closer to hybrid morphology.

    • Anomalous Notes: Shortwave interference recorded during body recovery; static bleed carried fragments of Jamie’s last words, though no transmitter was present.

    THREAT / ANALYSIS

    • Entity Exploitation: LYC-72 appears to fixate on Jamie’s dependence on Cal. Voice mimicry of Cal’s speech directed at Jamie is believed to have been its first successful lure.

    • Legacy Hazard: Audio recordings retain unexplained bleed-through when replayed on analog systems; operators report hearing Jamie whispering “don’t follow him” even when tape segment contains no such phrase.

    • Classification: Victim/Witness. No evidence of survival, possession, or reappearance post-1972.

      ────────────────────────────────────────────
      Name: Caleb “Cal” █████
      DOB: 1954 (approx.)
      Status: Deceased (body recovered August 1972)
      Clearance Tag: CIVILIAN / CASSETTE WITNESS

      BACKGROUND

      • Family: Eldest son in █████ household. Known locally as capable, outdoors-minded, often responsible for guiding his younger brother Jamie.

      • Community Notes: Described as “steady but stubborn.” Worked short-term construction and forestry jobs before incident. Reputation for both protectiveness and a short temper.

      • Connection to Dez █████: Lifelong friend. Interviews and tapes indicate an unspoken intimacy, difficult to classify but significant.

      ROLE IN WLF-72 INCIDENT

      • Leadership Function: Cal assumed natural command of camping trip. Chose routes, managed supplies, and dismissed Jamie’s nervousness.

      • Behavioral Markers on Tape:

        • Pragmatic, skeptical, occasionally mocking.

        • First to challenge unexplained sounds in the woods; also first to leave recorder running when paranoia set in.

        • Tone shifts in final 48 hours from confidence to agitation. Multiple instances of whispering Jamie’s name into the dark, as if trying to reassure or ward something off.

      • Last Known Actions: Final confirmed segment features Cal moving toward an off-mic call for help (voice analysis indicates Dez’s voice, though Dez was accounted for on-tape moments prior). Abrupt cut to violent disturbance.

      RECOVERY DETAILS

      • Body Condition: Found deeper in hollow than Jamie, suggesting he was drawn away. Trauma indicates greater force applied than in Jamie’s case. Analysts note damage to bone structure beyond expected predator strength.

      • Anomalous Notes: Entity later used Cal’s voice extensively during Operation HOLLOW FANG (1981), confirming successful capture of his vocal profile.

      THREAT / ANALYSIS

      • Entity Exploitation: LYC-72 capitalized on Cal’s role as protector. Lured him with Dez’s voice, then reanimated his own voice pattern to destabilize later teams.

      • Mimicry Impact: Cal’s speech was documented by field agents as indistinguishable from real. Phrase “Jamie, I’m right here” recurs across multiple capture attempts.

      • Classification: Victim/Voice Asset. His vocal signature is a persistent hazard, deployed by LYC-72 against both civilians and agents.

        ────────────────────────────────────────────
        Name: Desmond “Dez” █████
        DOB: 1955 (approx.)
        Status: Missing, Presumed Dead (since August 1972)
        Clearance Tag: CIVILIAN / POSSIBLE HOST VECTOR

        BACKGROUND

        • Family/Community: Grew up alongside the █████ brothers in same Appalachian town. Known as affable, restless, and the “bridge” between Jamie’s nervousness and Cal’s authority.

        • Pre-Incident Personality: On tapes, comes across as teasing, quick with jokes, masking unease under bravado. Affectionate toward both brothers, with hints of deeper bond with Cal.

        • Skillset: Basic wilderness knowledge, limited survival training; relied heavily on Cal’s leadership.

        ROLE IN WLF-72 INCIDENT

        • In the Tapes:

          • Early portions show Dez as stabilizer of group dynamic, breaking tension with humor.

          • Midway, his tone shifts—recordings capture lapses, odd hesitations, and disorientation (“did you hear that? thought it said my name”).

          • Final known voice capture includes Dez calling out for help, moments before Cal’s disappearance. Analysis suggests voice duplication event: Dez was present on-mic while a second Dez-voice was heard off-mic.

        • Unresolved Fate: Unlike Jamie and Cal, no body was recovered.

        POST-INCIDENT ANOMALIES

        • CCTV Sightings (1973–1995): Multiple reports of a male resembling Dez near the hollow perimeter. Gait irregular, avoidance of light.

        • 1995 STILLWATER Operation Footage: Thermal camera showed humanoid stepping from tree line, matching Dez’s facial structure. Sprint back into woods at nonhuman speed.

        • Confirmed Sighting (2023): Highway CCTV near ███████, WV. Clear facial image: Dez unchanged since 1972. Clothing inconsistent with modern styles, closer to camping attire. Subject observed staring at camera before system static. No aging visible.

        THREAT / ANALYSIS

        • Host Hypothesis: Dez remains either a partial host of LYC-72 or a projection used by the entity. Lack of aging strongly suggests assimilation into anomaly.

        • Behavioral Consistency: While mimicry attacks often use Cal’s or Jamie’s voices, Dez appears in physical form — implying his human identity has been co-opted as an interface between entity and human observers.

        • Containment Complication: Uncertainty whether eliminating Dez would harm or empower LYC-72. Directorate recommends no direct engagement.

        CLASSIFICATION

        • Victim → Host Vector.

        • Ongoing monitoring required. All sightings to be cross-referenced with Hollow Sector grid.

        • Risk Assessment: Critical, due to entity’s demonstrated ability to wear a familiar face across decades without decay.
