Lining Up Witnesses At a Crime Scene
She was all over the county with her answers.
Where was your child born?
I do not recall.
How many times have you been married?
Blue diamonds are the prettiest.
What time do you usually get off work?
I have a fraction of that time in my dendrite file.
We look at each other wondering what is happening here.
How many children do you have?
One.
Where was your child born?
I have no idea.
Something is a bit off, but we are not sure what yet.
And you say that you saw the window peeker.
Yes.
What was he wearing?
He looked like a sheep, and he had bad teeth.
What did his clothes look like?
He was closed off in a garden apartment.
We finally decided to interview a different witness.
Did you see anything?
A suspicious coat hanger under a bridge.
Do you know anything about this crime?
What crime?
I look at my partner. It’s going to be one of those days I say.
