It’s been an interesting past few days to say the least. Last Friday night, I was driving on I- 485 and saw something that made my crime senses go off. On the side of the road, six police officers were parked with no troopers inside. Also on the side of the road was a van with the hazards on and the medical examiner’s car. Now I don’t know about you, but in all my years of living in a big city, I have NEVER seen the medical examiner out and about. I was pretty sure the only thing that the medical examiner does is examine dead bodies but I wanted to check online before I jumped to conclusions.
Sure enough, the only job of the medical examiner is to examine dead people that appear to have died in a possibly suspicious way. I was so intrigued by this considering I had never seen the medical examiner’s car before. Something was definitely going on.
I keep checking the news to see if there has been anything reported about a body found in the area but so far I have come up with nada. I wish there was a way to look at police reports and see what was going on. My best guess is that they have not been able to get into contact with the person’s next of kin. That’s usually the reason the police hold off telling the press about finding a body. I don’t think it’s possible that they had found nothing with that many police officers and the medical examiner there.
I’ll keep you all updated on what I find out in the next few weeks. Does anyone have any similar stories? What weird or unusual events have happened where your crime spidey senses went off? Let me know in the comments below.
