My sweet, honest husband basically called me to the carpet for “spreading rumors” about the “alleged” murder on our street. Apparently, it was never put in the papers, so we don’t know the “truth” about what really happened. I’ve heard about as many versions as there are people in our neighborhood, so I must admit I don’t know FOR A FACT that someone was actually murdered. He is determined NOT to call it a murder so we don’t have to move, and I am determined to call it a murder so we can! I suggested we go take pictures of the body, but we both figured it would probably not still be there. Since no one else knows the truth about what happened, I guess I will have to resort to calling it “suspect activity” on our street, since that is a proven fact! The fact that the man who was living in that house is no longer there, without explanation, and there just happened to be a Crime Scene Unit and the Coroner’s cars there with the police and sherrif on Sunday will just have to remain a mystery, I guess.
So, I reluctantly retract my former posting… but will not delete it entirely for dramatic emphasis. Sometimes postings get a little dull. However, I stand firm on the ground that we should move to a better neighborhood. No, Merritt, I will NOT change my mind! And No, we will not add bullet-proof siding and emergency lock-down metal doors, or laser beam motion sensors!
