[ WP ] Each of Bob Ross ' landscape paintings is a real place , the different locations of his countless murders .

 `` Tom, it's been almost three weeks now that police are investigating what has become known as the Body Belt. When 8 years old Alex Bahar found a corpse partially uncovered while hiking with his family, little did he know that the true scope of his discovery was even more shocking. A string of bodies, all poorly hidden, appeared along the Silver Creek Passage; a trail well known in Alaska for its picturesque mountain ranges and forests.'' 
 
 `` Amanda, do the police have any leads on any suspects after more than 19 days of searches?'' 
 
 `` At this point, Tom, the police is n't willing to comment on the ongoing investigation, but the local population is demanding answers as the silence from the authorities drags on.'' 
 
 GUY WITH A RED CAP: `` My buddy who's in the army says there is like, tons of people dead and the government is trying to hide everything. It's freaky, man.'' 
 
 OLD LADY: `` There is too many sick people theses days. You know, sick in their head. Whoever did this, I hope they seek redemption from God now.'' 
 
 MITTCHEL SIMONS, MAYORAL ELECTORAL CONTENDER IN NEIGHBORING TOWN OF GIRDWOOD: `` The town must have the capabilities to defend its citizen and investigates properly who harms it. We need a better police force. We need a better mayor who will make it happen!'' 
 
 `` Tom, as you can see the pressure is building for the local governement, but it is also for the federal one. Congress in Washington have received a 5000 names petition today, asking « to give us the number », refering to of course to the body count, as it is still being kept secret from the public. The FBI says it still does n't possess a'definitive' number yet.'' 
 
 BACK TO THE STUDIO 
 
 `` Still a very difficult situation to understand. Amanda Brenden, reporting from Anchorage as the latest news emerge in this story.'' 
 
 `` Joining me today is crime expert George Krucsinski, Chief of Bangor Police Department until 1976 and FBI consultant on rural crime since then.'' 
 
 `` Tom, in what seems to be ironic twist on this gruesome crime spree, the purpertrator have chosen ideal settings for a post card photo.'' 
 
 `` Places fitting for a Bob Ross painting, for example.'' 
 
 `` Precisely. It suggest that who ever is behind this, is trying to establish a symbolic message. Religious, ideoligical or maybe even some sort of artistic motives might be used to justify this atrocity, but it remains the work of an extremely distabilized mind.'' `` Artistic?'' `` It is a very elaborate crime and it needs someone with a very precise goal in mind to acheive it. Probably someone trying very hard to hide this fact in his or her daily life. By being overly happy, almost unbelievably so, or by taking care of small animals, for instance.'' 
 
 `` Are more bodies expected? And do you have an idea of the body count at this point? 
 
 `` As far as I'm concerned, it is entirely possible that more victims show up. And for the exact count, you'll understand Mr. Bishop that my position as consultant does n't give me the right to answer that. What I can tell you thought, since it's public information, is that the ressources deployed would at least be able to facilitate about forty homicide investigations.'' 
 
 `` Thank you for being here today, Mr. Krucsinski. It seems to be dire news indeed; stay tuned for more coverage of what could be the murder spree of the century.'' 
 
 `` After the break, we discuss the rising popularity of amateur painting and a man in Florida might a found a way to make money without even working for it: the WIPB News Report will be right back.'' 
 
 `` CHEVY SILVERADO, THE PICKUP TRUCK OF AMERICA'S WORKING MAN.'' 
 
 Edit: probably plenty of errors, but I'm heading to sleep.
