do you know a killer?

Several weeks ago, my sister's coworker, Jon, went to a man's house to sell him car and homeowner's insurance.

As Jon was assessing the house, the man's wife went up to him, a bit frazzled, her eyes enlarged with fear, and said, "Don't sell him any insurance.  He's going to burn this house down and then kill me."  No doubt, Jon was startled by the statement.  What do you do in that situation?  Do you take her seriously or blow it off as her being crazy or paranoid?  Jon decided to shrug it off and sold the man the insurance anyway.

He didn't think too much about the lady with the large eyes until he got a phone call two weeks later.

It was the man.

"You can take my wife off the policy," he said.  "She committed suicide a few days ago."

Jon, concerned, called the police to let them know what the man's wife had told him but they refused to look into it, saying the case was officially closed.

So...he killed her.

Happy Halloween.
