Many years ago, a body was dumped in the parking lot of the Apartment complex my father lived in. Whatever teh results of the investigation, there was a clear outline left in classic TV fashion.
For years afterwards, nobody would ever park in the body spot…

There was a murder in a parking lot in New Jersey, and when I just happened to be there the next day, there was a chalk outline. Though it could have been done after the investigation by someone with a warped sense of humor.
Did anyone else notice that Cecil may have given out a little too much personal information? If Allen Jaglowski was Cecil’s high school classmate, all we have to do is dig up a copy of Det. Jaglowski’s old high school yearbook, and maybe–just maybe–there will be a picture of Cecil Adams in there, unless Cecil has sent his evil minions to excise all such pictures from all known copies of said book, which is certainly a possibility. If Cecil is clever enough, he may even have arranged to replace the pictures of himself with pictures of Ed Zotti.
bibliophage, how do you know that Cecil Adams is male?
I remember references to a Mrs. Adams, but Cecil could be a lesbian in a monogamous relationship. I suppose I should know this, but I can’t remember any language proving decisively that Cecil Adams is a man.
Oops, strike my last comment. I found some “he’s” and “himself’s” in references to Mr. Adams.
How about this - how do we know that Cecil A. was male in high school?
