“The septic tank! Of course!”....Sherlock Holmes..............

[SJSAMPLE]

His mistake was in selling the property.

What is a piggery?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Why didn’t he feed her too the pigs?

[Red Badger]

Hog farm..................or a Democrat Convention...............

[Flick Lives]

Sounds like the plot of one of those Columbo Murder Mystery movies

[T. P. Pole]

It could be like a goldfish or a hamster - she died during the night so he flushed her.

[yldstrk]

the truth will out

[Track9]

I was noticing something allegorical about the suspicious death.

noun
1.
a farm where pigs are bred or kept.
2.
behavior regarded as characteristic of pigs in greed or unpleasantness.
“the piggery of a midnight supper”

Maybe because he didn’t do it, and John Cannan did. The hog farmer would know he could feed her to the hogs and it would look like an accident, like she slipped in a pen while helping with chores, but it looks like John Cannon didn’t know much about hogs. Maybe he’s a plumber.

It seems to me the police, even in 1982, would have considered foul play and looked into the Septic tank.

I don’t know how British septic tanks are built, but there should have been a ‘clue’ of freshly disturbed earth...............

[Red Badger]

Good question!.....Too slow and possibly pieces left behind?.......But he would have had an excellent alibi because people being eaten by hogs is not unheard of................

[bigbob]

A place where they raise chickens, of course.

[Rebelbase]

Must have taken a very long time to flush the parts down the toilet.

[bgill]

Note to self - Never sell or move from the property if you have a body buried there.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

No doubt, my hogs can go through 2 or 3 liberals per week. Michael Moore, a little longer. /h

[Red Badger]

You would think he would have ‘remembered’................

[Track9]

I see what you did there. ;)
