Body moved after Tacoma woman alerts police

Tacoma police have an unusual death investigation on their hands.

A woman at East 52nd and East I Street found a body in her home, along with her two teenagers.

KING 5 reports the woman walked to the nearby east substation precinct to report what was in her house. By the time she returned to the house with officers, the body had been moved.

Someone had moved the body to the recycling bin behind the house. She told police she lives in the home with her sons and they are both okay.

Police are questioning the two teenage boys.

    There is a cop shop six blocks away. And this is a pretty sketchy neighborhood of people who vote for Obama overwhelmingly. Maybe her phone was cut off? Maybe her free government cell phone was dead?? Why she left kids with a corpse is something I don't even have an excuse for, though.

    I know this is morbid but... I thought they'd have used the yard waste... unless they thought he'd be reincarnated (recycled) as a Monster or Jolt? No? Maybe now that neighborhood will think twice about voting Obama, all considered.

    That article has about enough information to raise more questions than it answers.

    I have come home before to a broken cookie jar, a trail of cookie crumbs leading to my kids sitting amidst a pile of cookie crumbs watching television with cookie crumbs all over their faces and everyone denying that they ate the cookies.

    It doesn't look good for the little darlings tampering with a crime scene.

    Remember Pres. Bush and all the $rap the lib-tards blamed on him? And could you apply a little funny bone to it.
