13 February 1999– Former Head Auror John Dawlish, the prime suspect in a string of murders around the Diagon Alley area dating back to mid-October, has been arrested by the DMLE. According to current Head Auror Harry Potter, "Dawlish was taken into custody without incident late last night in Falmouth. Our investigative team was originally led to believe he was somewhere within the far regions of northern Europe. That was determined to be false; a small undercover sting operation discovered he was hiding somewhere within Cornwall."
