A couple of weeks ago, a dead man was found in my friend’s car. Here’s the original thread (I really have to learn how to do this the cool way):

The authorities have just pieced together what probably happened, and my friend feels less like Kevorkian.
The dead man (I’m sorry, but I don’t know his name) and a friend of his were on the run from a drug dealer they owed money to. The dealer and at least one other guy found the two men and there was a fight.
This explained dirt on the dead man’s back, and why he wasn’t wearing a shirt. The ripped up shirt was found in an alley near my friend’s house.
They think the man got away and ran to my friend’s house – he knew my friend’s son, it turns out (someone has some ‘splainin’ to do). He got in her car and crouched down on the floor to hide.
When it got cold, he started the car.
End of story, except no one has seen the other guy who was running from the dealer.
Okay, anyone else have something they’d like to update us on?
