It’s even more embarrassing when the vehicle is sold by a police department at auction. “On April 24, 1980, two brothers, 25-year-old James, and 18-year-old Richard Spurling were driving past the auction yard and spotted the black Chevrolet pick-up truck in the Davenport auction yard. They had another truck in need of repairs and they thought that they could use parts of the Chevrolet to fix it. They bought it for $140 at the auction and then they drove it to their father’s Muscatine County farm.” **The discovery** “A few hours later, James Spurling noticed a foul odor coming from the truck. He drove it out to a field to clean it from the grass and dirt. He took a shovel to begin shoveling out the debris when he noticed a boot on a foot coming out from the bed of the truck. He rushed to the house to contact the police. Once back to the farm though, he decided to take another look into the truck before calling the police. That’s when he noticed a second set of boots in the truck and a second decomposing body.” [http://reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/joipoh/he\_bought\_a\_truck\_from\_a\_police\_auction\_yard\_for/](http://reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/joipoh/he_bought_a_truck_from_a_police_auction_yard_for/) ---

I can sure see reporting that backfiring when the PD you bought the truck from insists they hadn’t overlooked any such thing in the bed. Nosiree, they’re far too thorough for that. > Sir? You must have acquired the body(ies) on your own some time after the truck left our custody. Speaking of custody … You’re under arrest. ---

I had to read 3/4 of the linked article to my husband (he’s in the other room) and asked him if he had heard about that cold case. In 1980 I was 10 and he was ~16. No, he hadn’t. We lived in the other city in Iowa that is part of the Quad Cities (Bettendorf). Totally creepy! ---
