History
Name: Lanier Grey
Case Number: 367368754
Filed: August 31, 2017
Form IDCFS 7820 - Age-out report
Filing Case Worker: Cecilia M. Hansen, LCSW

Found by a pair of nuns sleeping in a pew at St. Bertold's before mass, at first the child would only speak a few sentences.  "I'm three." "You're a Lanier!" and "Mama's gonna walk a high wire."  Lacking any other evidence, the child was simply given the name Lanier for a first name and the surname of her first case worker.

While not a problem child, Lanier was never quite the perfect little angel her looks implied, so she was never adopted. The story is the same as thousands of others.  This foster home for a few years, that one for a few more, six months here, eightteen there.  Case workers retire, move... Stability is something that happens to other people, nearly mythological.

It was later found through a bit of research by Lanier with the help of one of her teachers that her mother may have been either Blair Reade Lanier or a young maid in the same household.  Both young women disappeared in the early 80s.  Blair's younger sister also disappeared years later.  It was whispered that the girls "ran away to join the circus."

Lanier maintained a high C, low B average her senior year, up from a typical D average, and managed to graduate.  Despite being encouraged to apply for scholarships, she apparently declines to go to college.   Last interview with Lanier on 24 July did not produce any indication of future plans.

Case file closed.

 — The Lancaster Museum of Art reported a small painting by Thomas Moran of Bridal Veil Falls, Telluride, CO missing yesterday.  No further information is available.

Seen on a placard where a painting was supposed to be October 7, 2008
- "The Joslyn Art Museum regrets that the Robert Irwin landscape intended for this space is unavailable."
The next day, the placard was replaced by a different painting.

Painting of the Chrysler Building by Neil Caffrey reported stolen by Johnson Art Museum

None of these thefts or possible misplacements, among several others per year at minor museums all across the country, are solved.  Very few of the items turn up again until many years later, so these and the others in the last nearly five years may not be seen again until the end of the century.

One record for Lanier Grey shows that she is the apprentice of one Alexander Hutton, a minor sorcerer loosely affiliated with an Etherite/Virtual Adept Chantry in Burlington, VT.  Hutton also had ties, now all but severed, to the Cult of Mercury.
