so i've lived here about 7 1/2 years now, and so far (aside from floods and hurricanes), things have always been pretty calm. micah and i know all of our immediate neighbors (next door, across the street, a few houses down, etc). today, however, we experienced something a little different.
two houses down on ebony (so next to our driveway 2 houses down) the police showed up (in a suburban with "crime investigation" on the side). then the police dogs showed up. then center point and haz mat and the FBI showed up. naturally, our first thought was that they were running a meth lab out of the back.
but then we got to thinking: they let the lady who lives there leave with her 3 kids and her grandmother. no one was arrested or even seemed to be questioned at length (although i can't be sure of the second). the man who owns the house (the brother of the woman who lives there) has been here all day with the officials, but he's been walking around feely and talking to them casually. then this afternoon around 2, a fire truck showed up...the kind that has the jaws of life and stuff.
about this time, we found out from our neighbors across the street (whom we love) that there is a murder investigation going on. well, we put 2 and 2 together, and we figured there must be a body buried somewhere. we can now hear the guys over there with saws (and they're sawing concrete). all we can come up with is that someone buried a body in concrete.
nice huh? if i ever find anything out, i'll be sure to post. i would go ask, but one of the neighbors already has, and the police said they couldn't comment on what was happening.
at least the news crews haven't showed up! i don't want to turn on the tv and see our house and that uber-stupid neighbor they always find saying something oh-so-texas.

That's disturbing!
ReplyDeleteok, so here's the update (micah talked to the girl who lives there, and her version is a bit biased if you ask me): one night about 4 years ago (when she was partying all the time and always had wild people over), 2 guys got in a fight. according to her, the dead guy left her house pretty badly beat up, but alive. the reason the police dug up her driveway is b/c there was "evidence" buried there, and the area had been "tiled over" or something like that. the police left with a box of some kind, which according to micah wasn't big enough to have bones in it. with that said, micah and i think the guy died at her house, and then someone moved the body. incidentally, her ex-husband (who was living there 4 years ago) spent some time in prison...
