It would all appear to be the work of a single, highly psychotic perpetrator. The bodies were desecrated and all crime scenes daubed with unintelligible graffiti, indicating some ritualistic fixation. There are no known survivors of these attacks so far.
The suspect’s apprehension should be made top priority…..

Document 4. PARISAN POLICE AUTHENTIC DETAILS – GUILLAUME
Les offices centraux de la police nationale
Créés par différents décrets entre 1929 pour le plus ancien et 2000 pour le plus récent, les neufs offices centraux relevant de la direction générale de la police nationale sont des services à vocation interministérielle et à compétence nationale, chargés de lutter contre des phénomènes d’un caractère sensible et revêtant fréquemment une dimension internationale.
- Special investigative police offices, specifically created by dedicated laws in case of unusual problems that may arise.
- Backed by international information collaboration.
- With a national mandate.
- Nine of them have been created since 1929, and I think we could easily imagine that one has been dedicated to the Monstrum. And then, you don’t have to tell if the commissar is located in any arrondissement, as they have a national mandate…
- No real “profilers” for serial killers in France. At least, not publicly acknowledged.
Mirepoix is fine as a name, sound pretty old, like the man’s ancestors were mountaineers :o)
So I think your text could look like this:
Office central de la police nationale.
Commissaire Mirepoix, délégué aux crimes à caractère barbare.
A l’attention des services préfectoraux.
RAPPORT SUR LES ATROCITES EN SERIE DANS LA CAPITALE
Parisian Special Investigative Force.
Commissioner Mirepoix, premiere Arrondissement.
