We had to get ahead of this guy. That was my thinking. 

The clown creeper was breaking into cabins with impunity, and now he was in downtown Petoskey, where he was responsible for the murder of Allison Barnes and apparently tried to do the same thing to Ebony Aster just minutes later.

So my plan was simple. We would plant a decoy to lure him out of hiding.

It was the biggest mistake in this case.
