The death card - Cade Merrill

Cade Merrill is the cousin of Heather Donahue, one of the three students who disappeared when they went into Maryland's Black Hills to research a documentary on the legend of the Blair Witch.

Cade subsequently collected further case files, in the hope of finding the person who holds the key to the mystery of the Blair Witch. Each 'file' narrates an individual case, with occasional inserted observations noting Cade's own research and verification of the facts.
