CASE NUMBER: 67483
DATE: August 13, 1994
AGENTS: Cyrus, William, and Thomas
SUMMARY: Investigation into the theft of the rare occult text The Revelations of Glaaki, volume 12.
CASE STATUS: Open
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our team was brought in under the jurisdiction of Chicago FBI as specialists in the occult to investi-
gate the theft of a rare text from the University of Chicago on 6AUGUST94. The book, volume twelve in
the series The Revelations of Glaaki, had been recovered just three months before.
An exceedingly rare book, it was found among the personal effects of Louis Robert Harper, DOB
22NOVEMBER61, a resident of Cooperstown, Illinois. Mr. Harper was discovered dead in his premises by
a Consolidated Gas employee on 7MAY94 (see attachment). It appears Mr. Harper died from complications
due to his eating and sanitary habits. The evidence at the scene indicates Harper gorged himself on
food and failed to either urinate or defecate for three days. Death is attributed to kidney and liver
failure.
Among the books in his possession was an exceedingly rare occult text known to contain functional
hypergeometric formulae, Volume XII of the Revelations of Glaaki. With no heir to inherit it, Harper’s
book was surrendered to the rare-book library at the University of Chicago by the Illinois State Police.
Little else of interest has been learned about Harper. No information has surfaced to explain from where
or from whom he acquired the text.
Glaaki
The Revelations of Glaaki volumes one through nine have been studied at length in the past by agents,
but the contents of volumes ten, eleven, and twelve remain a mystery. The initial nine volumes outline
a cult worshiping a deity referred to as “Glaaki.” Early research by A Cell at the Library of Congress
uncovered the following:
The name Glaaki is first mentioned in Sumerian texts as a minor deity. Sacrificial victims were offered
to this god impaled alive on sharpened wood stakes. Often this form of death took many hours. Victims
were not always unwilling, as some true believers impaled themselves on the god’s holy days as well.
Their faith led them to believe that this impalement would lead to immortality. A tremendous mass
impalement occurred at Uruk in 3002 B.C., where more than three hundred people were impaled in a single
day.
The name later appears in Phoenician, Assyrian, and Egyptian cultures of later periods. In each
instance, the deity represents death and resurrection, with impalement as the only form of acceptable
sacrifice.
With the advent of Christianity and Islam, Glaaki is listed as a genie, demon, or devil, generally
recorded as a malefic servant of Lucifer or Satan. Many books claimed Glaaki could be bound or called,
and made to do the will of the operator. Even in these texts Glaaki is linked to immortality and with
the act of self-mutilation, often in the form of impalement.
The name next appears in the Black Pullet, a 16th-century text on demons and black magic. Glaaki is
listed as a secondary agent of Astaroth, a powerful demon lord. This book provides several complex and
differing ways in which the demon may be contacted. These secrets, the book explains, were related to
the author by an Egyptian sailor who worshipped the deity.
Finally, in 1865 an English series of assembled anonymous works claimed to tell the true story of
Glaaki and its cult. Called The Revelations of Glaaki, a total of twelve volumes have been reported.
Only six are still known to be in private collections, however, due to a rash of thefts.
Chicago Murders and Theft
Our group initiated an investigation into the theft at the University of Chicago on 10AUG94, four days
after the theft and the accompanying triple homicide.
Three members of the rare-books department, graduate students Lois March, Phil Campbell, and Jordan
Louis, had been killed execution-style with a 12-gauge shotgun, and the book (which had been undergoing
cleaning and restoration at the time) was taken.
Suspicion fell on the only member of the rare-book department not to clock out. Susan Filey, 29, offi-
cially clocked in on the campus computer at 9:35 P.M., approximately fifteen minutes before the murders
and theft occurred.
Filey could not be located at her home or through friends or family. All expressed confusion and
concern, and each denied vehemently that she could have had anything to do with the murders. The Chicago
police issued a warrant for her arrest and an electronic tag was put on her credit cards and bank
accounts.
On 10AUG94, our team of agents discovered Susan Filey after it was noticed that a smell of rotting
food was emanating from a basement laundry chute at her home. The basket at the bottom of the chute had
been filled with food, along with the metal shelves commonly found in a refrigerator.
Filey’s body was discovered in the emptied refrigerator. Filey was impaled upon an antique decorative
walking stick, which had been sawn off at the ends to allow the body to fit within the refrigerator.
The Shillelagh and Johannes Knepier
The unusual walking stick was identified four days later after extensive questioning of antique dealers
in the Chicago area. It had been bought twelve days earlier from Fischer Fine Antiques, along with
four others like it, by a Mr. Black (assumed to be an alias), who paid cash. Mr. Black gave his home
address as that of Susan Filey. The sticks sold were classic shillelaghs of Irish design, but the one
recovered from Filey’s body was covered in sigils of some sort, not immediately identifiable, which were
forwarded to A Cell for translation.
A surveillance camera in Fischer’s shop recorded a clear image of “Mr. Black,” which was compared
to an FBI database of photographs of suspects in other impalement murders. It matched a 1976 driver’s
license photograph of Johannes Knepier, a suspect in a 1977 mass murder/suicide in Louisiana. In the
videocamera footage, Knepier appeared thinner but did not seem to have aged since the 1976 photo.
On 12AUG94 an autopsy was performed on the body of Susan Filey by the Cook County coroner’s office.
Initial examination determined that Filey had been dead for at least a week. While this made it impos-
sible for her to have committed the robbery-homicides, her student ID was never recovered. The current
hypothesis is that her ID was used to gain access to the University library’s rare-books department.
Filey’s body showed signs of extreme torture employing a wide assortment of carpentry, metal-working
and perhaps kitchen and surgical implements. Her vocal cords had been deftly severed using surgical
techniques that would have allowed her to survive the procedure indefinitely.
