Mark Frost - Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier

Dear Director Cole:

Pursuant to your directive to me upon the completion of my investigation into The Archivists Dossier last year, I hereby submit my subsequent follow-up report.

That archivewhich ended abruptly on March 28, 1989, with the Majors sudden disappearance and presumed deathleft us with many possible avenues of investigation. As you suggested to me at the time, I have since directed my own investigation down every rabbit hole and up every apple tree in search of answers. To state it more plainly, Im The Archivist now.

Unlike the previous dossier, where for the most part all documents were presented to us in their entirety, per Bureau standards, here I have taken the time to condense the relevant content I found into an uninterrupted narrative.

As you also requested, I began this project in the town of Twin Peaks itself, by attempting to bring you up to date on the stories of many of the towns residentsmany of whom you yourself knew personallyover the intervening decades. I learned much that was surprisingyour words these woods are full of secrets come immediately to mind as a distinct understatementand many other things reflecting the startling rate of change any community, small or large, faces over the course of a quarter century of recorded history.

The pace of change is extremely hard to perceive at close rangeits virtually invisible day-to-daybut viewed from a distance, it moves like lightning. The trials and trivialities of daily life, Ive concluded, act on the mind as a kind of local anesthetic, numbing us to the relentless passage and ravages of time. Ive also learneda humbling admission, to be sureto view this effect as a kind of mercy.

SYNOPSIS OF FACTS:

My conclusions and takeaways from this part of the journeywhich you also requested of meI have included from time to time when they apply throughout the document, rather than offering them as a preamble, as I dont want to shade your perceptions prior to your first read.

On a personal level, I will share with you, however, that regardless of the cost to my innocence or navet regarding these truths of the human conditionwhich I now freely acknowledge at the start was considerableI emerge from this experience grateful for the wisdom it has given me, and stronger of mind for the hard lessons learned.

May I also state that your faith in me to undertake this task, and the opportunity youve provided for me to contribute to the collective work that still lies ahead of us, remains one of the authentic blessings of my life.

I only hope that, in whatever small way I can, Im able to apply my shoulder to that wheel for as long as time and fate allow.

Most respectfully yours,

Tamara Preston, Field Agent

THE ADDENDUM:

This first document is, as youll quickly learn, not exactly a traditional autopsy report. I assume this was made accessible to you at the time of the incident as a Blue Rose file, but since it was not passed along through traditional Bureau channelsand hardly embraces standard forensic formattingI am including it in the pursuit of thoroughness.
