So maybe this poor individual had contemplated this a fair bit, you know, because he was in bed, like, you know.

And there was no signs of disturbances.

Money was in his wallet beside the bed, all that sort of stuff.

So, you know, from an investigation point of view, that was it.

But I often wondered years later, like,

who came to clean up afterwards, you know, because I know now there's specialists that do that kind of stuff, certainly nowadays there is, but this was in, you know, the depths of, you know, the Midlands back in the late 90s.

I'd say it was up to either local neighbours or maybe even, God love them, the relatives to clean up afterwards, you know.

you know we go we leave a scene we go on and we move on to the next one but you know it's still there and I found myself it's only really since I got back into looking at me old notes for the podcast and stuff that I'm going down the rabbit hole trying to find out these things I was on I was on Google Maps there last week trying to find that house

you know, in a satellite picture or something.

And I reckon I found it.

It doesn't look anything like it did back then, but I reckon I found it, and I said, Jesus, I'll never forget that, like, you know.

But I had a photograph of myself, the photographer, because it was my first job out as a trainee.

I had the white suit and that on me, so I'm standing outside with the arms folded, thinking I'm great.

And I had the photograph in front of the house.

I was comparing that with the street view.

It's still there.

I still remember it.

Not in a bad way.

It doesn't affect me or anything like that.

But I just never forget it.
