Therapist: Dr. Lisa Chen, Psy.D. - Licensed Clinical Psychologist #PSY15471
Practice: Mountain View Psychological Services, Highland, CA
Recording Period: September 14, 2009 - June 22, 2010
Legal Basis for Access: Pattern evidence in Federal Investigation Case #2010-047-FB
Dr. Chen: "What brought you in today?"
Patient: "The dreams started three weeks ago. They're so vivid I can smell the candles burning. There are people in robes standing around me in a circle, and someone is taking pictures."
Dr. Chen: "Have you seen anything like this before? In movies, books?"
Patient: "No, that's what's so scary. The details are too specific. I can describe the symbols carved into the candles, the smell of the wax, even the sound the camera makes. It's an old Polaroid camera."
Clinical Note: Patient describes imagery consistent with occult ritual practices with remarkable specificity. No known exposure to similar content. Possible repressed memory or external stimulus triggering unconscious knowledge.
Dr. Chen: "You mentioned the man with the camera again. Can you describe him?"
Patient: "He's always in shadow, but I know he's watching me. Not just in dreams now - I feel like someone's photographing me during the day. My daughter says she's seen him too, near her school."
Patient: "The worst part is I feel like I know him. Like we've met before, but I can't place where. He feels... familiar. That terrifies me more than anything."
TRAUMA ASSESSMENT: Patient exhibiting signs of stalking awareness combined with possible repressed memory recognition. Recommendation: Safety assessment and possible law enforcement consultation.
Patient: "I drove past that house on Forest View Drive yesterday. The one that's been empty for months. There were lights in the basement."
Dr. Chen: "What did you do?"
Patient: "I called the police, but they said the owner had a right to be there. But Dr. Chen, I've seen that basement in my dreams. I know exactly what it looks like inside - the concrete walls, the drain in the floor, the symbols painted on the ceiling."
Patient: "I think... I think I was there before. But I can't remember when. It's like there's a hole in my memory, but my body remembers being afraid."
CRITICAL NOTATION: Patient describes 1247 Forest View Drive basement months before official crime discovery. Details match crime scene exactly. Possible witness with trauma-induced memory suppression.
"The consistency of traumatic imagery across unrelated patients is unprecedented in my practice. The specificity of details - particularly regarding ritual elements and photographic documentation - suggests shared exposure to actual traumatic events rather than coincidental psychological phenomena."
"Most concerning is the temporal pattern: symptoms began appearing 9-10 months before the official incident, indicating prolonged community exposure to traumatic stimuli. Several patients demonstrate classic signs of witness trauma with intentionally suppressed memories."
Memory Recovery Sessions (Post-Crime Discovery):
PROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENT: These patients were likely targeted for psychological manipulation and documentation as part of perpetrator's extended ritual preparation. Community was systematically exposed to traumatic content months before primary crime.
Federal Judge ruling: "The compelling public safety interest in preventing additional crimes outweighs normal psychologist-patient privilege in this exceptional case."
Patient Notification: All affected patients contacted and offered continued therapeutic support

Dr. Chen's Follow-up Assessment (August 2010):
"Following the official crime disclosure, all affected patients experienced immediate symptom relief. The validation of their experiences as real rather than delusional has been profoundly therapeutic. However, the realization that they were unwilling participants in extended criminal activity has created new trauma requiring ongoing treatment."
"Several patients have expressed that their subconscious minds were protecting them by suppressing memories until they felt safe to remember. The human psyche's ability to compartmentalize trauma while preserving evidence is remarkable."
"All patients have volunteered to continue cooperation with law enforcement while receiving specialized trauma therapy for crime victims."
