I still find it hard to fathom that people can do things like that.


I thought I had found a body myself back a few weeks ago when there was still ice and I was scouting out the rivers for open water. I spotted a black cylindrical shaped mass in about 3 feet of water.

It was about 2 feet long, about as big around as a bowling ball, and wrapped in a trash bag and duct tape. I went in after it, fished it out, and called the cops to let them open it. It was a bit too much the size and shape of an infant for me to open it without witnesses, but I wasn't going to ignore it because ifit was some missing kid, there were parents out there somewhere waiting to bury their child.

As it turned out, it was just a cat. I hope it was somebody's strange way of disposing of a dead pet rather thanthe killing of a live animal. Anyway, even though it gave me the creeps, we were all relieved that it wasn't human.
