In 2012, the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Rose Tyler]] arrived in the Vault in response to a distress signal, unaware that the signal came from a Dalek. They were quickly captured by van Statten's guards. At this time, [[Diana Goddard]], van Statten's personal assistant, and [[Adam Mitchell]], a scientist, worked for him. Learning the Doctor was alien, van Statten examined his [[Gallifreyan physiology]]. He had plans to make use of his [[binary vascular system]] in a marketing venture, branding it as his own creation through a patent. When the Dalek freed itself, he gave the Doctor free rein to deal with it. By the time events came to a conclusion, two hundred Geocomtex personnel had died and the Dalek had self-destructed. Goddard took charge at this point and van Statten got a taste of his own medicine: she ordered van Statten to be taken away, mind-wiped and dumped on the streets, "somewhere beginning with an 'S'," due to him causing the death of 200 personnel. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') According to another account, however, he willingly wiped his own memory, mentally regressing himself to an infant, after being shown a nightmarish vision of brutally killing everyone he had ever harmed.

To the public, Statten mysteriously disappeared. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'') At 1:55[[AM]] on [[2 May]], [[Sacramento Police Department|police]] [[police officer|officers]] were called out to [[Riverside Boulevard]] in [[Greenhaven]], as Van Statten, now just a [[vagrant]], had caused a disturbance. When the police tried to caution him, Van Statten was uncooperative and kept repeatedly saying "don't you know who I am?" A police [[bulletin]], submitted by [[CSO]] [[Morris (Mickey's Blog)|Morris]] and approved by [[Sergeant|Sgt]]. [[J. Barnes]], was released on [[5 May]] asking the [[public]] if they knew the [[identity]] or [[origin]] of Van Statten. One person noted the vagrant's resemblance to Van Statten, which another flatly denied. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mickey's Blog (short story)|page=172}}) | To the public, Statten mysteriously disappeared.
