“Victims of human sacrifice are not often buried unadorned-they usually have grave goods and such to honor the gods, and there is evidence of an unnatural demise, even if it is only being wrapped/tied up in a frigid cave”
True.
I had a horrible thought. Considering the proximity to a settlement and the unadorned grave, it occurred to me that it might be a secret grave. That led me to wonder if the girl had been lured out by a serial killer.
Just speculation, I know.
It is certainly possible-serial killers don’t appear to be a new evil in human society-they just get caught more often because of advanced detection methods-I would think there have always been dangerous, deranged individuals hiding in plain view, just as they do now...
