The police report said it'd been ransacked, but photos seemed to indicate something more along the lines of a gust of wind. Neighbours reported hearing sounds of another female in the apartment (who didn't seem to actually say anything, just kind of screamed aggressively) and massive gusts of wind outside the windows which one tenant swears smelt faintly of the sea.
