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 and 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", then turning back to the phone I 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 now
coming out in a shaky voice. I proceeded to tell him we had just located his position, and the police were entering the building to take him into
custody and he shouldn't be alarmed. At that point I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of feet running away.
As I returned to our dinner table my wife asked me why I had tears
streaming down my face and so help me, I couldn't talk to her for
about fifteen minutes. My meal was cold, but it was the best meal in a long,
long time.
