When the cops got there, they were confused because everyone had their head attached.

The guy got caught and went to prison for it.

It was surreal, though, seeing all the cops and news crews out there.

The body got dumped about 2 miles away from my house.

Took the town 5 days to find her.

He then did the same thing to another woman.

Took 3 days to find her.

Well, a fugitive checked into the one hotel in town.

He takes his girlfriend hostage inside the hotel room and has a showdown with the cops.

They had to get SWAT teams from a town an hour away.

And my tiny town hasnt had anything interesting happen since.

Killed the elderly man and then went for the elderly woman while she was in bed.

No known motive either for the murders.

He was a good guy never bothered anybody.

One day he comes up missing.

His step dad mom sisters everyone is worried.

He never left and just didnt come back.

Just wasnt like him.

Nobody knew what happened.

His step dad hears that some one is going around bragging about how he killed him.

Step dad tells cops cops do nothing.

Step dad finally says either you do something or I will.

Cops bring guy in to question him.

He leads them to his body.

Turns out he stopped bike guy and asked if he wanted to go get high.

He says sure jumps in the car.

Most effed up thing to ever happen in my little back road town.

The scariest thing happened to my friend.

Her dad was killed at work.

He was shot over a disagreement.

It was the first murder in like 2 decades.

It made national headlines.

It was heartbreaking and disturbing.

No one ever found the killer(s).

Lot of drunk drivers, and I almost got hit and kidnapped by one when I was 18.

Was running and screaming at them to leave me alone/screaming for someone to help me out/etc.

Apparently he was standing at the window watching me and my friends.

Which was still in town.

My dad still lives there though.

Pretty crazy, they all lived though.

She was briefly my roommate in the 90s.

Baristas are seemingly always getting kidnapped and/ormurdered.

Just recently a girl was killed and dropped in a frozen lake.

They didnt find her until spring.

They tied up the husband and burned his wife alive in front of him.

After they killed the wife, they hacked him up with an axe.

This was particularly scary because neither of my parents were home during the day.

They ended up catching the four men later that day.

Another thing weird about the situation was talking to my teachers the days following the indecent.

It took the entirety of my stay to locate them.

One had been killed by the cops and the other had been detained.

It was a town of about 2000.

It was so unsettling because theres a good chance Ive seen whoever did it.

And theyve seen me.

And they broke into my space and scared the heck out of me.

And I probably smiled at them at the local co-op or something.

In a bigger town youd be like oh it was probably random and maybe it was for me.

But I probably interacted with the person who did it.

A girl died in the middle of class

We had a girl die during a class in school.

Like, just drop dead.

She had no previous problems that anyone knew of, so it was a total surprise.

The whole school was kind of quiet and muted for the rest of the year.

He got scared and took off.

Locals in the area went into lock down.

The police found him hiding in his house.

When they searched his house they found loads of stolen items.

Evidently, he was breaking into local houses and stealing womens/girls clothing.
