    Three Dirty Windows — A Mystery Case Files Drama

    In the second case file of the 13th Skull investigation, the MCF Investigator descends deeper into the Lawson family estate. Three deliberately dirtied windows conceal geometric patterns — sixteen squares, eighteen triangles, twenty diamonds — that together form the key to a centuries-old combination lock disguised as a grandfather clock. Behind the clock's brass face lie two Map Stamps and a cryptic note about a thirteenth skull that was once a crown, once a promise. Mary Lee, the cleaning lady, reveals that hidden rooms exist behind the mansion's walls — rooms where Marcus Lawson may have vanished. The investigator explores the Den, finds a locked drawer containing a brooch inscribed with mysterious initials, and follows a cold draft through the wainscoting to its source. The house remembers what the family forgets. And it is not done testing her yet.

As the inquiry moves through the home, a map, a second account, and practical leads make the search more specific without making it simpler.

  • The Hollow Choir Beneath the Floorboards

    The Hollow Choir Beneath the Floorboards
    Oct 14 2026
    The morning after the music room key, she climbs to the attic with a lantern and a notebook. Twelve skulls sit on the shelf under the eaves. Thirteen rings wait in the dust.

    This week: Lewis at the bottom of the stairs, the attic door that was never locked, the twelve skulls and what Delacroix left behind, the lantern on the floorboards, the count that comes out wrong, and the window over the grounds — where the glasshouse looks back. The count is wrong in a way that gets worse the longer she looks. And one of the twelve has turned to face her. Next time: the cellar door behind the wine racks, and whoever is counting down there.

    Chapters:
    00:00 Morning at the Lawson House
    02:52 Lewis at the Bottom of the Stairs
    06:02 The Attic Door
    09:13 Twelve Skulls on the Shelf
    13:20 The Lantern on the Floor
    16:06 The Count Is Wrong
    20:58 What Delacroix Left Behind
    24:50 The Window Over the Grounds
    28:04 What the Morning Found
    29:53 The Counting Tomorrow

  • The Music Room Key

    The Music Room Key
    Oct 13 2026
    A missing husband. A locked music room. A brass key that appeared on a kitchen counter in the middle of the night — and a piano that plays itself when it rains.

    A private investigator arrives at the Lawson mansion in St. Charles Parish to find a family holding its breath: Sara, who hasn't slept in twelve nights; nine-year-old Magnolia, who says a lady plays the piano and a ghost took her daddy; and a house full of people who each know something and fear a different part of it. Down in the parish substation, a thin file holds a previous investigator's notebook — and four words that explain why he ran.

    The relaunch begins here. Eleven chapters, one locked door, and a count that was never twelve.

    Chapters:
    00:00 The Open Gate
    02:54 The Key on the Counter
    05:50 The Locked Door
    07:33 Dust and Footprints
    09:00 She Plays When It Rains
    10:52 The Count Is Wrong
    14:01 The Gallery in the Rain
