The body of a small tan plush mouse was found staged inside the now-infamous pink silicone dish, a vessel that has appeared at multiple crime scenes throughout the investigation. The victim's left eye had been deliberately removed, a detail that immediately drew comparisons to Incident #8, in which a similar plush mouse was discovered with identical orbital mutilation.
Law enforcement sources confirm the discovery followed an anonymous tip received shortly before 6:30 PM. The nature of the call—its timing, its precision, its tone—has led the lead detective on the case to a chilling conclusion: The Toybox Killer called in his own work.
He wanted us to find it. He wanted us to see what he'd done.

The Kitty Toy Land Police Department has declined to issue a formal statement, a silence that speaks to the gravity of the moment. With 22 incidents now confirmed and 24 victims claimed, the investigation has entered uncharted territory. The killer is no longer merely striking—he is communicating.
He is not just killing anymore. He is curating.
The resemblance between this victim and the mouse discovered in Incident #8 has not gone unnoticed. Investigators are now exploring whether The Toybox Killer is deliberately revisiting earlier themes, constructing a pattern within a pattern. The eye mutilation—once a shocking anomaly—may now represent a recurring signature, a trophy claimed not once, but again. No suspects have been identified. The motive remains unknown. The investigation remains active. Residents are urged to remain vigilant, avoid isolated water sources, and report any suspicious activity immediately.
