I had a great time last week visiting my family and I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!
Yesterday I posted a photo of our National Cemetery where boy scouts had placed over a thousand flags on graves. I love how Dr. Richard Mabry puts it:
“Take a moment and remember the men and women who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice. And remember–Freedom isn’t free. All gave some. Some gave all.”
Magnolias are blooming in Mississippi. They are one of my favorite flowers.
Now on to last week’s Mystery Question: Four scenarios, three true one false. Which one is false?
- A woman posed as a deputy and showed up at the prison where he was being held with bogus papers for his release. They got away with it until the actual deputy called to say he was coming to retrieve the prisoner.
- A teenager hacked into a government server on a lark and within twenty-four hours, federal agents swarmed his parents’ house, holding them for questioning for another twenty-four hours before they took the boy away in handcuffs.
- Officials canceled a Silver Alert for a 70-year-old man after a detective pulled him over and noticed a woman who appeared to be dead buckled into the passenger seat. He’d been driving with her in the seat for a week after she died at a hotel.
- A man was arrested after he drove his lawn mower, complete with trailer, into the side of a squad car. His driver’s license had previously been suspended and when he registered three times the state limit on the Breathalyzer, he claimed the state spiked his bloodstream.
And the answer is…#2. I had trouble believing #3, but I googled it and found this interview with a police officer… http://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-news/eloy-police-oklahoma-man-found-with-dead-wife-in-the-passenger-seat
And here’s the link to #1: http://bit.ly/2Qn0yjj
Okay, now on to this week’s craziness…
Below you will find four headlines in the news. Three actually happened. I made up one. Can you guess which one?
- Man confesses to crime the day after he thought the statute of limitations had passed. Unfortunately, he was off a day and was charged with the crime.
- Fugitive makes a deal with PD to surrender if his wanted poster got 15K likes.
- Man detailing how he built bombs at his trial advised by the judge to exercise his Fifth Amendment rights.
- Man escapes murder charge due to victim dying from a fatal disease at the exact time the killer was completing his task.

Hi Joan! Another one in the #4 column. It does seem a little far fetched…but who knows. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

We’ll see, Lucy. Another one for the #4 column. 🙂
#4 sounds too bizarre to be true pls how could they know victim died at the exact moment he was being killed from the deadly disease
Author
Number 4 does sound bizarre, Shelia…I’ll add you to the #4 column. And thanks for stopping by!
I think it is #4 because I’m not sure, even with all the technology used, that they would be able to pinpoint the time so exactly. I love #1 – it seems like justice was served in that one…lol
Author
Yeah, I like #1 as well, Betti. I’ve had a lot of fun with these four. Thanks for stopping by.
I am debating between one and four; since 4 seems so popular, I’ll go with that.
Author
Like your logic, Diane. lol Thanks for stopping by!
Another tricky one this week! I’d debating between #1 and #4 and I don’t know which one to pick….lol!
Author
You have to guess, Trixi! lol
Well, if you insist…lol! I’ll go with the ever popular #4. If I’m going to be wrong, so is everyone else who chose this number 🙂
