Vetril Dease first appears in a 1930 Los Angeles census,
跟他的父亲 母亲
living in a low-income home
和妹妹住在一处低收入住房♥
with his father, mother and younger sister.

Nine years later, Vetril is listed with his father

他们的房♥子被一场诡异的火灾吞噬
as the only survivors of a suspicious fire which swept their house.

Shortly after the fire, Vetril's named in a court document.
据记载 毫无人性的是
Citing cruelty beyond the bounds of humanity,
儿童保护组织将他从虐待狂父亲身边带走

送去了位于南瓦莱乔的圣殿骑士孤儿院
and place him in the Good Templars Orphanage in South Vallejo.
那段时间的经历是个谜

唯一的记录就是他18岁时离开了
the only record being his departure at 18.
但真正的谜题是接下来发生的事
