I am aware that this medium is not conducive to the transmission and reception of difficult news, but it must suffice for now. Detective Warda was investigating a call concerning clown activity near Haight Street. There was a fire in the building she was investigating. Several casualties have been found, but Detective Warda is so far unaccounted for.
Detective Slater and I will be investigating the crime scene immediately. My cellular telephone number is [insert number here]. If you give me yours, I will contact you as soon as we find information that moves us in the right direction. If we become aware of a way in which you can be of assistance, I will let you know.
