mummified body out. That's a good-looking mummified body."

Well could be that they believe the body wasn’t moved there from another location. Also, it could be suspicious but it also could be a homeless person that died of natural causes and no one discovered the body until the B&E.

Wow, think about it. Trying to break and enter a house and you hit a body when you open the door. That’s gotta make you change your mind.

I haven’t been seen there in a while. I am not sure if I am missing or not. Good questions.

We have quite a homeless population here. The building was not occupied, so I can see one of the homeless “moving in”, and casing in his chips. There is also a lot of drug dealers here. Could have been a hit. Abby and Ducky are working on it now.....they will know!

I would imagine that might cure one of ever trying to break into a house again.
