History[]
Assassination of JFK[]
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963, by the Winter Soldier as part of a conspiracy orchestrated by HYDRA.
Reporting on Anton Vanko[]
The Dallas Record reported on Anton Vanko defecting from the Soviet Union and siding with the United States of America, titling the article "SOVIET SCIENTIST VANKO DEFECTS."[1]
Murders[]
Within the first four months of 1996, Dallas experienced twelve homicides which remained unsolved. The last three of these murders were committed by Marduk Helstrom, a demon who had come to Earth and became a serial killer. Helstrom's final victim, a college student named Rebecca Torres who had recently gotten hired as an assistant at a local law firm, was reported missing in April when she failed to attend a family reunion. This caused Torres' father to start saying that the police department was not doing enough to protect the community, prompting a response from the chief of police asking people not to be afraid. Torres' picture was added to a vigil that had been started outside of the police department for the victims in unsolved homicides. The lack of evidence frustrated the police, who established a tip line for information regarding the homicides. A. Thomas reported on Torres' death and the responses to it for The Dallas Record.[2]
Chase of Grant Ward[]
Grant Ward having escaped from both federal custody and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attempts to recapture him, misled Agent Bobbi Morse in Atlanta pretending to travel to Dallas.
Ward approached a young woman, Eliza, and her son Graham and befriended the mother and child, offering to help them with their bags and boarding their bus to Dallas, sitting with Morse, and revealing that he deduced she was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Ward threaten Morse with detonating the explosive vest he was wearing, and abandoned, leaving Morse behind and unable to follow him.
Morse was able to abandon the bus too, and, without further incidents, it finally departed to Dallas.[3]
Framework Network[]
With the knowledge of the Darkhold, Holden Radcliffe and Aida began perfecting the Framework. Upon completion, the code had become so powerful that it had to be processed on devices from all around the world. Part of the data was transmitted to a university server in Dallas.[4]
