Eliza was a brilliant detective in the small town of Brockport. She had a keen eye for detail and an impeccable track record of solving even the toughest of crimes. So, when a string of murders started occurring in the town, the residents naturally turned to her for help.

Eliza threw herself into the case, spending long hours poring over evidence and interviewing witnesses. But as she delved deeper into the investigation, she started to realize that there was something strange about the murders. Despite the abundance of evidence, no clear motive could be established for the killings.

One day, as she was going over the case files, Eliza noticed something that made her heart stop. The killer's modus operandi matched that of her own. She immediately dismissed the thought, chalking it up to her imagination getting the better of her. But as more and more evidence pointing to her involvement in the murders started to surface, she began to feel a sense of unease growing within her.

Despite her reservations, Eliza decided to confront the evidence head-on. She started by interviewing herself, asking herself all the tough questions that any suspect would be asked. But to her surprise, she found that she had no concrete alibis for the time of the murders.

With mounting evidence pointing towards her guilt, Eliza realized that she was in deep trouble. But she refused to give up and continued her investigation, determined to find the real killer and clear her name.

It wasn't until she started to investigate her own past that Eliza discovered the truth. She realized that her perfect memory, which she had always considered a gift, was actually a curse. She had repressed all memories of committing the murders, driven to it by a deep-seated psychological trauma from her childhood.

Shocked and horrified, Eliza finally came to terms with the reality of her actions. She turned herself into the authorities and fully cooperated with their investigation. The town was stunned by the revelation that their beloved detective was the very person responsible for the murders they had been trying to solve.

Eliza was eventually found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. As she sat in her cell, she reflected on the turn of events that had led her down this path. She was consumed by guilt and remorse for what she had done, but at the same time, she was grateful to have finally uncovered the truth about herself.

In the end, Eliza learned that the only way to find true peace was to come to terms with her past and accept the consequences of her actions. Despite the devastating outcome, she was able to find a measure of solace in the knowledge that she had done the right thing by facing the truth and taking responsibility for her actions.

The town of Brockport was forever changed by the events of that fateful investigation. But even in the face of tragedy, the residents held onto the belief that justice had been served and that they could finally put the past behind them and move forward.

As the years went by, the story of Eliza and the murders in Brockport became a part of local folklore. Some saw her as a monster, while others saw her as a tragic figure, a victim of circumstance who was driven to do the unthinkable. But as time went on, the town began to heal, and people slowly started to forget about the murders and the detective who turned out to be the killer.

However, for Eliza, the memory of her past would never fade. She spent her days in prison, trying to make amends for what she had done, and seeking forgiveness from the families of the victims. Although she knew that it was unlikely that she would ever be free, she found a sense of purpose in her life, working to help others who were struggling with similar demons.

In the end, Eliza's legacy would always be a complicated one. Some would remember her as a murderer, while others would remember her as a brilliant detective who solved some of Brockport's toughest crimes.

But for Eliza, the most important thing was that she had finally found the truth about herself, and that was all that mattered.
