    I had seen her get out of the car when I pulled up. She mentioned she had to work today. I didn't care enough to inquire further.

      It seems that that's plausible, but what if she'd just murdered someone and you surprised her? I've watched a lot of Law&Order. It never hurts to ask follow-up questions.

        If that were the case, I wouldn't want to know.

            1) About 8 miles
            2) She claims she had just returned from feeding a neighbor's dog. She further claimed that she goes and works out each morning.

              Part of that sound incorporates Japanese monks stomping on a wood floor. The composer also gets a royalty off it:

              He thought it needed more "heft to it," so he incorporated a sound he found of 100 men stomping on a wood floor in Japan.

              Not only is the sound iconic to "L&O" fans, it's music to the ears of Post's bank account. He has a different name for it than "dun-dun."

              "It’s not a sound effect, it’s a piece of music that actually gets a royalty," he told the Television Academy Foundation. "I call it the 'ching-ching' because I’m making money off of it."

                That's awesome. I heard that the people who wrote the Wheel of Fortune themes make more money from it and licensing it to slot machines than from the show.

                  I know - that was pretty funny.

                  The best part was his brother asked - months ago.

                    Yeah. He asked right around the time he was picking up me and my family from the airport in May. That's probably why there was a problem. Either he told me the wrong date or I input it into my phone for the wrong date.

                    My sister-in-law called a couple of weeks ago to make sure I could still take them, but I guess I didn't verify which day it was.

                      This guy's wife is missing and his search history shows he googled "How to dispose of 115 pounds woman's body". I'm no criminal mastermind, but I've watched enough Dateline to know that before you make that search you need to drive at least two states away, steal a laptop, find a library and use its wifi to make the search. Duh.

                        Note to self: clear search history.

                          ..,and perhaps be a little less specific with your searches. ".. 115-pound woman...." lol.

                          • yeah i'd guess the methods for disposing of a 115 lb body don't change much whether she's 90, 115, 150 or 200 lbs. might be a tad more difficult to get rid of somebody weighing in at 200, but i have to think the general approach is fairly similar.

                              Can't that be learned just by watching Dateline, Breaking Bad, or mobster movies?
