Background and History
Mike was born in Corpus Christi, Texas to a rancher father and business owner mother. When Mike was sixteen, he came out as bisexual to his parents, who disowned him. Mike raised himself from that point on. After graduating high school, he went to college to become a cop. Straight out of college, Mike joined the police force and quickly proved himself as a formidable cop.

However, the law system was corrupt and Mike found himself forced into a dark world of corrupt cops. After getting a promotion to detective, Mike finally decided that he was tired of the corrupt law system and decided to leave it all behind. He then moved to the very small town of Priceland, Alabama in search of a fresh start and a clean slate.

Sexuality
Mike is openly bisexual, although he's had more experience with women than he has with men.

Dark Secret
It's no secret that Mike came from another state, where he also worked as a cop and later a detective. However, Mike has managed to keep the details of his transfer under wraps. He used to be a corrupt Texas cop before he became a detective. It wasn't a very big deal in Texas, as the entire town was full of corrupt cops. Mike grew disgusted with just how corrupt the law system was and moved out of state in search of a refreshing change and clean slate.

Motive
Mike's hypothetical motive would be that he's a horror movie buff, making him a top suspect. He knows about horror movies, maybe to the point of obsession. Maybe he decided to make his own real life horror movie?
