How can I reset the Blood on the Ice quest?

I was roaming around Windhelm and I went into a house and it started the Blood on the Ice quest. It just has a blank desk and 1 objective that says "Look for clues." It looks like Susanna has already been murdered.

I'm playing Skyrim Legendary Edition with no mods. How can I fix the quest?

You need to pick up the following items:

• The Butcher's Journal #1 (can be found in the chest next to the wall near the entrance)
• The Butcher's Journal #2 (can be found on the altar)
• The Strange Amulet and pamphlets (which are on the small dresser)
