Something I saw on the news

I decided to watch CH-11 news this evening and a story that was presented, was about a dead body found in a bundle of to be recycled cardboard.

What was really puzzling was that the bundle originated in Garden City,/ Boise.

How could a truck transport that bundle containing a dead body and the driver, let alone the crew that loaded the truck and as well off loaded the load not smell a dead body contained therein?

Surely a dead body would look , and weigh more than a bundle of cardboard?

How did that load make it past the Chicken coop just outside of Boise, and get all the way to Twin Falls?

Does make ya'll wonder.

From what KTVB had on it.....the bundle was 1 ton....this is a huge bundle of paper and cardboard...... having used cardboard crushing machines in the past this is certainly possible.........

Depends on moisture and temperature....paper and cardboard is very porous, absorbing moistures released during decomp. Along with the degree of decomp....... they didn't really say how long the body was in the cardboard..... temps have been down......... but then someone did end up alerting officials once it met it's final destination...... from how it sounded it traveled in very cool hours.......

and then just a thought the depending on the amount of actual air space that was surrounding the body....... air = decomp

If only CSI were real, we could have the killer aprehended by the end of the hour. It's a shame that all of life is not like TV.

Not much imagination here. Or people who work at the lower level jobs in America I'd Guess.

Body may not have been dead when entombed. Just passed out dead drunk, sleeping it off in what he thought was a dumpster full of cardboard. When tightly wrapped in plasticised cardboard, a year old steak wouldnt smell.

And has anybody ever noticed what the butt end of a store smells like? Grocery stores, restaurants and other businesses often are nasty and stinking at the rear end, especially the sort of store that generates a lot of trash and cardboard clutter.

If you dont know what I'm talking about, dont worry, you are just another naive, overpaid American bundled away from the reality of the underclasses. People die in similar ways to this in every part of America. A few every year.
