Just a Nerd
I am the suspect in this situation. I lived in a large town in the south of the UK in my own terraced house.
Outside my house was a bus stop so a few people would who go by outside each day but it wasn’t in the heart of the high street.
I had suffered from clusters of flies for a few days and they came out of nowhere. We are talking maybe 50 or so which is a little alarming but there was nowhere I could see they were coming from. I got rid of them as quick as they came about and went about my day as normal.
One day at the weekend I had a knock at the door with riot police who stated they believed that someone had died in the property and they were able to enter under an emergency act of law without a warrant.
In their wisdom they spoke to the neighbours about who lived here after a report from an elderly lady visiting the bus stop. The neighbours mentioned my ex girlfriend who they didn’t see for a few months. We broke up and she moved out but the police put the flies report and this fact together as me being a killer.
The police were sure I had something to hide as they instantly didn’t believe I owned the house. I work in IT, so I make good money but they weren’t having any of it. I had to then wait under surveillance while my house was searched and riot police all in the street.
I am a keen gardener and upstairs in the airing cupboard I was attempting to grow some from seeds. The police were convinced that 23 year old me was instead running a grow op….
In the end they found no dead body and they realized their mistake. I’m sure I’m on some kind of list now but they left almost disappointed that their amazing detective work found an IT nerd and not the next serial killer. Story credit: Reddit / Foxxinator37
