Single man about 55 yrs. old-no known vices. Has owned video stores in past-but not for 5 yrs. Stays at home. Quiet fellow.

I'm trying to figure out a mystery concerning the above described gentleman. This is enfolding as I type. Became aware at midnight that there was something going on outside-3 police cars-lights flashing- came to a stop at my neighbor's house.   Five troopers were outside checking the property with flashlights. They seemed also to be checking the ground for "something." His deck also was examined closely. After a while pictures were taken of his house -his screened porch & his car. Since there is very little excitement in my life, I thought this show would be better then Leno.   The men went in & out in all sorts of groups-some staying outside. They still kept the ground search going.

I'm assuming that most troopers travel in twos. So there evidently was one in the house before I made it to my viewing window. It is now 3:20 am. and I had to give up. Two cars & 4 troopers have gone. One trooper has been in the drivers seat for 1 1/4 hrs. One is still inside with my neighbor.

What on earth could be going on that would take this much time. He's evidently not hurt-no ambulance. OOOOPS--Now the Sheriff's car has pulled up.

What could take 3 hours & 25 minutes to investigate??

Any mystery buffs out there? Any ideas? Feel Free! If I find out--I'll let you know.

There are now 5 on the scene-if the ellow was dead-wouln't they call an ambulance or coroner's wagon by now?
