Description  -

As an avid fan of Peri Becker, a famous internet personality with a popular online baking show, you make it your mission to know everything about her. You keep up to date with all her latest videos, run a decently popular fan blog dedicated to her, and have become a pretty good at-home baker thanks to following her tutorials to the “T”.  

Logging into your personal pc, you see a notification on your News4U app and decide to clear the notification by opening the article.  The title reads, “Another Teen Missing, Could This Be The Work Of A Serial Killer?” and you tilt your head, noticing the date, time, and place of the homicide.  You quickly open your minimized BakeryBundle application and look at Peri’s most recent video.  She had filmed that video at the same location on the same date, and the guest on her show that day was...no...could Peri be…?

It's up to YOU to find out what this parallel means...
