The phone rang as I was sitting down to my evening
meal, and as I answered it I was greeted with "Is this Karl
Brummer". Not sounding anything like my name, I asked who is calling.
The telemarketer said he was with The Rubber Band Powered
Freezer Company or something like that. Then I asked him if he
knew Karl personally and why was he calling this number.
I then said off to the side, "get some pictures of the body at
various angles and the blood smears", I then turned back to the
phone and advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene
and must stay on the line because we had already traced this
call and he would be receiving a summons to testify in this murder case.
I questioned the caller at great length as to his name,
address, phone number at home, at work, who he worked for, how
he knew the dead guy and could he prove where he had been about
one hour before he made this call.
The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers
were given in a shaky voice. I then told him we had located his
position and the police were entering the building to take him
into custody, at that point I heard the phone fall and the
scurrying of his running away.
My wife asked me as I returned to our table why I had tears
streaming down my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for
about fifteen minutes. My meal was cold, but it was the best
meal in a long, long time.
