re is a serial killer out there killing cops and making it look like a suicide. McEvoy decided to see if he could persuade the Law Enforcement Foundation to allow him to look through their records of police suicides to possibly find if there were other victims.With the help of a Foundation employee, Jack got access to the police suicide records. McEvoy found thirteen files that could possibly be related to his brother and the Chicago cases and narrowed them down to six related cases. By this point Jack was working with the FBI on an agreement to not write the story until they caught the killer, or until a leak in the case came out. The other four cases that correlated with Sean’s death and Jumpin’ John’s death all were detectives who seemed to be deeply disturbed by a specific homicide case. They each had a line of Edgar Allen’s poetry in their “suicide notes.” When the FBI agreed upon the connection between each of the six detectives, the nation-wide manhunt became official government business. The FBI produced an official chronological victimology report regarding the killer they now named The Poet.1.
