The Locked Room in Apartment 304
In the winter of 2022, a quiet residential building on the outskirts of a small Midwestern town became the center of one of the most disturbing criminal investigations the community had ever witnessed, a case that began with what seemed like an ordinary welfare check and quickly evolved into a mystery filled with fear, unanswered questions, and details that investigators still struggle to explain. The building itself was nothing remarkable, a four-story complex built in the late 1980s with narrow hallways, aging carpets, and the faint smell of cleaning chemicals that seemed permanently embedded in the walls, but what happened in apartment 304 would transform that otherwise forgettable structure into a place that residents refused to talk about even years later.

Former DOJ Officials Break Silence on Kiernan Major Case
Through a swarm of vehicle and body doubles, elaborate disguises, sophisticated misdirection, and all-around flawless tradecraft, two senior U.S. Justice Department officials out of the Washington D.C. office met with our investigative team in a Los Angeles area home to blow the whistle on what they called "one of the most dishonest and disgraceful" cases they had ever reviewed. Our four-hour interview still feels as though it was much stranger than fiction—surrounded ostensibly by hundreds of security personnel who blocked all traffic to and from the property and implemented a stunning variety of physical and technical expertise to draw attention of potential emergency personnel and bystanders elsewhere, our team was in total awe of the immense and rather imposing capabilities of this security team. We often were unable to even focus on the interviews as we struggled to grasp whether this was reality or possibly figment of our imagination. In spite of our childish fascination, our team was able to gather a fresh and highly credible perspective that raises grave concerns about the 2022 federal indictment of Kiernan Major and many of those allegedly involved in it.
