FRINGE EVENT: Universe merging, parallel deaths

CLASSIFIED CASE CONNECTION(S): David Robert Jones

AGENTS ASSIGNED: Dunham (OT), Lee (OH), Dunham (OH)

SUPERVISING AGENT: Broyles

FILE ARCHIVED BY: Mercedes Sanchez

WITNESSES/CONTACTS: Jeremy Delman

LOCATION: Manhattan, NY (OH); Teaneck, NJ (OT); Manhatan, NY (OT); Glen Cove, NY (OT); Springfield, MA (OH); Brooklyn, NY

VICTIM(S): Brian Bauer, Nancy Guerring

CASE REPORT SUMMARY:

Two men were killed simultaneously, and witnesses reported that they were both lifted several feet in the air and then driven back down to the ground by some unseen force. They died on impact. Dr. Bishop found lacerations consistent with seat belts, as if they had been in a car crash together. A third victim, who died in his apartment in Brooklyn, had wounds consistent with a plane crash. A matching plane crash was confirmed Over There in Teaneck, New Jersey, with the fatalities of the two men and the pilot.
 Dr. Bishop collected body samples Over There and determined that each universe vibrates at its own specific frequency. Over There vibrated at the musical equivalent of G, Over Here at C. Somehow the victims Over Here were made to vibrate at the frequency of their doppelgangers. The merged frequencies of the two universes destabilized the aircraft and then a cab via amphilicite devices set by David Robert Jones.
