Murder, most foul

2007.11.12

MISSING: Robin. Suspected to be the victim of a random act of violence

The crime scene

The evidence

The mob boss: Charley "The Slasher"

Side profile of The Slasher

Suspect #1: Calvin a.k.a. "Pretty Boy"

Pretty Boy's profile shot

Suspect #2: Seamus "Baby Face" No profile shot - he's on the lam (or in his case it could be "lamb").

Yes, little birdies, fly. Fly very fast. You don't want to encounter the same fate as your friend Robin.

It was a dark and stormy afternoon. Robin felt as though she were being followed, but shrugged the feeling off and kept walking. The sidewalk echoed her footsteps, adding to the feeling of unease that gnawed at her. Suddenly, a shadow fell over her and she turned - too late. What followed is best left to the imagination.

The usual suspects were rounded up and interrogated, but they all refused to talk - silent as the grave. The evidence was deemed circumstantial, and with no body.... Well, let's just say there wasn't much to go on. Ultimately, no charges were filed, although a conspiracy was suspected. We can only hope the perps will decide to go straight after this violent act.

But don't bet on it.

Shouldn't that be Murder Most Fowl?

Great set. But if you got pictures of the victim before the crime happened, doesn't that make you an accomplice?

Funny story!

Very cute story and fun post! Those of us with cats probably all have some version of it to tell.... my own cat prefers mice.... I just love finding their little legs.

It was probably a plot hatched by Charlie. I hate to stereotype, but he looks like the type to have designs on an innocent bird.

Did you interrogate each suspect separately?
Perhaps signs around your homestead warning flyers about the gang would help stem a crime wave.

Good luck. Let's hope that this isn't an obsessive trait !

Great set—and such fun.

OMG, I am CRACKING UP!!! This is hilarious! I've got tears in my eyes from laughing so hard! Thank you for the frivolity!! The suspects are indeed suspect, but I fear you are so right...I wouldn't bet on any behavior changes from this fearsome bunch!!!

Great story to go with this post! Not so great for the robin, mind you, but the nicknames of the cats were quite amusing. Thanks for the fun!!!

Cabecilha · 2007-11-13: 13:01

Great photos and story! I don't miss those little gifts of guts and feathers now that my kitties are only indoors :)

I wonder if there is a whisker of truth in this story, I fear you are out to make a name for yourself and that Charles, Charly aka the Slasher was framed. Note the look of disdain in Pretty Boy's face. This is an open and shut case. Charley was framed and that notorious gang of Calvin and Seamus are to blame. I bet they wrestled up the idea under your kitchen table. They never liked poor Chuckles any way. I heard Robin was suicidal any hoo.
