Provincial & Federal News Report
Jan. 30/2007, Transcript

Local meat farmer Sid Becken has died after falling into his own pork grinder in Preston City, and was found guilty of several murders and more attempted murders from evidence collected afterward.

Even more shockingly, he was found to have been eating the remains of his victims, including their brains. People are calling him the "Prairie Zombie" and the "Grim Rancher".

Reports from Russian police indicate that he was the same man once known as the "Cold Cannibal", a Russian soldier who ate his wife and child to survive while snowed in during the Cold War.

Sid's Special brand meat was found to be contaminated with several diseases, including Mad Cow Disease, due to the feeding of dead animals to livestock of the same species, which is illegal in North America.

The Preston City Police Department has put all three Sid's Special facilities on lock-down while investigators try to determine if the contamination happened on-site. The PCPD have no comment on the murders at this time.

If you have Sid's Special meat in your home, please dispose of it immediately and do not consume it. Once again, do not eat Sid's Special meat. Instead, experts are advising that we safely discard all products of the brand, and any food items that they've touched, and disinfect any surface they may have come into contact with. Do not feed the meat to animals.

More on the murders committed by the Grim Rancher after these messages, including a 12-year-old girl whose head he kept in his freezer. We'll have all the details at 6pm tonight.
