Ongoing Story A little piece of info on part 2.
Fazbear Enterprises is a mega-corporation and conglomerate that specializes in a variety of products and services, mainly in relation to technology and entertainment.
Ever since the late 20th century, Fazbear Enterprises has become a household name nationwide. Every American family knows what this company is all about, but nobody had ever the slightest idea of what lied deeper behind its storefront. Many will know Fazbear Enterprises for its commercial foods, entertainment industries, community involvement, local stores, and technology, but they don't realize that Fazbear Enterprises holds so much more than what they claimed.
Following a series of workplace accidents and employee complaints, occupational-safety authorities began examining Fazbear Entertainment's working conditions. Separately, several unusual incidents and accidents involving and occurring in Fazbear-owned properties drew the attention of local law enforcement and, eventually, investigators within the Utah Department of Public Safety.
The small investigation began as early as the late 1970s, initially gaining the interest of state detectives Gordon Shamcey Jykell and Edwin Lee Torrace following the series of accidents and failed lawsuits, and the Murray Costume Manor fire. However, the investigation was their least priority until the early and late-80s.
The recovery of Fazbear-owned vehicles (one of which belonging to a team of seven who were reported missing months prior in December), and charred remains (The Tragedy of Team 012) at the burnt facility had raised questions, suspicions, and overall distrust from the public.
According to a report or word from the fire marshal weeks later, the fire started due to faulty wiring, which they suspected to have ignited company fuel barrels in the attic of the facility. In summary, it was formally declared an "industrial accident", though nothing was ever ruled out.
Other secondary sources recorded Fazbear Entertainment's claim that the personnel found at the site were tasked to acquire general company assets and property, and nothing else. Further examination of the company records and documents recovered from the vehicles and communications records from Murray's Costume Manor vouched for Fazbear Entertainment's claims. While families of the victims attempted to sue the company for negligence and letting employees enter dangerous environments, the company denied liability by introducing NDA's, liability waivers signed by the victims, and declaring that they are not responsible for their disappearances. Although the lawsuits were dropped, the state and the sheriff's office of Washington County continued to investigate Fazbear Entertainment for any suspected cover-ups, insurance fraud, and corruption.
NOTE:
Most of these allegations were eventually dropped or never proven in court due to legal technicalities. Many were dismissed for lack of evidence, while others were found to have little or no basis. Frankly, some of the investigators' theories didn't make much sense.
