"Unresolved case. Double homicide. Right here," the detective had said, matter-of-factly. George, standing in the living room, felt a thrill course through him. He rubbed his hands together. A real-life murder mystery! He could barely contain his excitement.

He immediately began brainstorming ideas. He would create a museum, he would get some of his friends in on the plans and make it a community-based effort. He would create a treasure hunt. The old house had already paid for itself.

He spent hours walking through the rooms, the thrill never subsiding. He felt giddy. This was more than just a place to live, it was a legacy. He could not wait to share it with everyone.
