Man finds dead stranger in his bathrooom
2005-03-09
LAS VEGAS, March 8 (UPI) -- Police, even in Las Vegas, say it's unusual to return home and find a stranger's body in one's bathroom.
I just hate it when that happens. It leaves a mess and the cops rarely believe you didn't put it there.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal said that's what happened with an unidentified homeowner returned hom and discovered the body Monday morning. The victim had been shot in his head.
Sure this is Vegas and not Bangladesh? Sounds like a "crossfire" victim to me.
Of course he was shot in "his" head. Whose head would it have been otherwise?
Sgt. Rocky Alby told the newspaper the dead man was 31 and was known to police because of brushes with the law. Police were withholding his identity. "It's rare for someone to come home and find an unknown dead person in their home," Alby said. "This is a very unusual call. We just have to see if we can piece it together."
Gil Grissom of the crime lab could not be reached for comment
Alby said there were some signs the dead man had been burglarizing the house.
Accidently shot himself in the head and got rid of the gun?

#7  I guess the map to the desert burial grounds the mafia hitman gave his apprentice was old, and didn't account for the rapid growth and home building that has occured...

The apprentice put him in the EXACT SPOT he was told to.

#2  Sgt. Rocky Alby...sounds like a cover name for the Rapid Action Batallion (Rab).

#1  Only in Vegas, baby, only in Vegas...

Local news here reported that the homeowner did not recognize the stiff and cops think it was 2 guys perping a burglary and they either had a sudden falling out, or the killer thought this would be an excellent opportunity to settle up on a grievance with his partner in crime. CSI did have an episode much like the latter scenarios that occurred at a pottery shop. Turned out to be a woman who had been abducted as a baby some 20 yrs before and thought dead... yadda3.
