Alex nods, "ah...so the markers are such that it appears that they were alive in the 1700's, early 1800's, then somehow skipped the intervening 200 odd years and died within the last two weeks?"  She leans back to consider that for a bit, then shrugs, "had they eaten anything recently?  I mean...did they find any evidence during the autopsy?"<br/><br/>She begins turning her seat side to side, thinking for a bit.  "I don't know much about vampyre's, beyond what I've managed to work out for myself.  For instance, I don't<em>have</em>to eat.  Even if I do eat, I don't know how much, if any, of that material is used and integrated into my body...something I'm sure the lab boys figured out ages ago, but I don't get to read the reports about myself.  Anyway...what I'm thinking is, if they were vampyre's, and if they either didn't eat or if they did and those materials don't incorporate, but still expended energy to appear alive, they would give every impression of coming from the time around their first death with no indication of intervening years.  And if they had their essential energy drained, couldn't find anywhere to um...sustain themselves, or watched the sunrise, that could well explain it."  She shivers slightly, sort of hugging herself, "not a pleasant experience."
