"Fascinating Forensic Facts"
Within a few hours of receiving a report of the possibility that there may have been a 'Suicide' (or other event) in a certain stretch of the 'River Thames', an all out search was under way for any evidence which may confirm such an event.
'River Police' launches with specialised equipment on board were quickly dispatched to those areas where such evidence may be found and one can only wonder at the 'Technology' which is available to our 'Police Forces' in every department, when the processes of 'Investigation' are set in motion.
To the 'Lay Person', the act of disposing of an unwanted article (or in this case, a body) in a river, might seem to be an acceptable proposition, the obvious consideration being that once it was below the surface (particularly in deep murky water) and if 'Weighted', the possibility of it's discovery is quite remote, one might even imagine that such a method of disposal is THE most suitable since rapid deterioration due to underwater currents, erosion and (if edible) 'Creatures of the Deep' would, one would assume, take care of the problem.
Such thinking may well have been fairly safe in 'Days of Old' BUT, with the advancement of 'Technology' in almost every aspect of our daily lives, 'With Extreme Caution' is the only sensible procedure when one embarks upon a criminal mission, a small error in judgement may spell the end of the most carefully laid plans.
'Underwater Detection Equipment' is 'Old Hat' in these modern times, the presence of ANY metal object is easily detected and in this particular case, the 'Weights' which facilitated the sinking of poor 'Isaac' proved to be the ultimate undoing of the carefully considered disposal of 'Isaac's' remains, since a quick 'Bleep' on the 'Sonar' immediately revealed his body.
The sodden sack was expertly retrieved by 'Police Frogmen', the contents are currently under scrutiny and what has already been discovered by the 'Forensic Analysts' is quite astounding, they have determined that the 'Postage Sack' was one which was taken from the 'Mount Pleasant Depot' in the 'King's Cross ' area, that the 'Netting' (which contained 'Isaac's body) was sourced from a manufacturer in 'Yorkshire', that the clothes in which poor 'Isaac' met his end were from various 'Clothing Shops' in the 'Finchley' area of 'North London' and that the 'Weights' were sourced from a 'Scrap Dealer' in 'Hornsey' (apparently this last fact confirmed by a 'Dealers Mark' which was a precaution against theft).
The actual Identity of the body is still awaiting confirmation, although it is assumed that the body can be associated with the 'Yarmulke' with the identification of 'Emmanuel Snitzmandorf' embroidered on the inside, the 'Blood Group' must be confirmed and the 'Dental Records' will be sought and examined before a 'Positive' identification is confirmed.
Meanwhile, the 'Rabbi' is still poring over the 'Ledger', he has made little progress with his efforts to decipher the 'Hieroglyphics' (as he is wont to refer to them) BUT, he HAS managed to aggravate himself to such a degree that the prospect of a spell in the 'Mashugana House' is not quite as remote as he jokingly referred to it earlier.
The 'Police' made another visit to the house in 'The Drive', the house was unoccupied and the front door still held shut by a wedge of newspaper jammed in the 'Locking Plate' area, they have now secured the premises and will no doubt treat the premises as a suspected 'Crime Scene', hopefully their investigations will not draw young 'Chris' into them.
As to 'Chris' (and his 'Hard Earned Cash') he has broken up the 'Wooden Box' and if the weather holds, he will be using the wood to roast his meat in the back garden, a nice shoulder of 'Lamb', a 'Greek Salad' and a bottle of 'Brandy' perhaps.
I wish I could join him.
