<blockquote>Solve a murder mystery using the items inside a mysterious package delivered to your door. Each new murder mystery package is filled with items and clues that you will use to conduct your investigation and catch the killer. Each monthly mystery is designed to be enjoyed and solved without any knowledge of our prior mysteries. However, all of our murder mysteries are set in the same fictional town with recurring characters, locations and storylines that connect all of our mysteries together. The longer you continue with us a member, the more you will learn about the dark secrets and history of [[Port St. James]] (or [[Forrest City]]) and its curious cast of characters.<ref name="TMECWebsite">"The Mystery Experiences Company front page."

The residents of Forrest City are living in dangerous times. I am in a unique position to see and know many things about Forrest City's dark secrets. Although I have chosen to remain anonymous, I will, from time to time, pass along to you information useful in solving some of the mysteries of our very unique city.

not see accounts of it in any newspaper. The Forrest City Police Department and the FBI will deny any knowledge that these events occurred. But given the nature of what happened on Dec. 31 on Savage Island, I could not in good conscience allow these events to remain shrouded in secrecy. I have chosen to call this mysterious episode THE ELEVENTH HOUR.

I would suggest that you begin by doing a quick survey of the items in the box. Next you should read the Forrest City newspaper. It will provide you with the necessary background information. Then begin with Page 1 of the notes taken by Christopher of Christopher's Curiosities. His notes will provide you with a guide to follow the course of events that transpired.

===== Page 3: SAVAGE ISLAND Vacant No Longer =====
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote style="background-color: #eee; padding: 0.8em;">
 
−
Bedform Manor and Savage Island Sold to Unknown Buyer
 
−
 
 
−
SAVAGE ISLAND Vacant No Longer
 
−
 
 
−
Savage Island was named after industrialist William Savage who purchased it in 1930. Savage used the island as a retreat, building cabins and other small structures on the twenty-three acre island off the coast of Forrest City.
 
−
 
 
−
In 1941, Savage sold the island to Nathaniel Bedford, heir to a mining and railroad fortune. Bedford chose the island as the location to construct a magnificent manor house as a gift to his betrothed, April Heart. It was Nathaniel's intention that the home would be a wedding gift to April on the day of their nuptials.
 
−
 
 
−
Sadly, April committed suicide only ten days before the wedding that was to occur on New Year's Eve on the island. She hung herself from the rafters of her bedroom. No specific motive for the suicide was ever revealed.
 
−
 
 
−
Nathaniel halted the final steps in the construction of Bedford Manor and never took up residence on Savage Island. He lived the remainder of his life in seclusion and very little is known about him following the death of April Heart.
 
−
 
 
−
Savage Island remain unoccupied, and Bedford Manor vacant, until an unknown buyer purchased the island from the trust that Nathaniel Bedford used to buy it from William Savage. Bedford Manor and its surroundings have now been renovated and restored, but no one associated with the project has been willing to reveal any details.
 
−
 
 
−
The island's unique history renders its legal status ambiguous at best. William Savage purchased the island from the federal government, but the 1930 contract for sale stipulated that the island would remain under the jurisdiction of the federal government (as opposed to local or state authorities), and the U.S. Department of Defense would have the first right to purchase the property if it were ever offered for sale by Savage.
 
−
 
 
−
A legal expert consulted by ''The Forrest City Post'' confirmed that these stipulations "run with the land" and were therefore included in the sale of the island from Savage to Nathaniel Bedford, and would continue to be a condition of any subsequent sale. Though the federal government had the legal right to purchase the island when Savage sold it to Bedford, it evidently chose not to do so.
 
−
 
 
−
There have been rumors of other secret stipulations placed on the initial sale of the island to William Savage in 1930, such as the ability of the government to continue to utilize parts of the island for some unspecified purposes, but these rumors have never been confirmed and are dismissed by most as nothing more than fanciful speculations.
 
−
 
 
−
In 1975, a joint task force of the Forrest City Police Department and the Forrest City F.B.I. field office attempted to search Savage Island in conjunction with a manhunt for a serial bank robber, but were intercepted and turned away by a U.S. Navy Frigate.
