There was an oddball “spy” murder case from 2010 with an intriguing CARS clue/non-clue … He was found stuffed in a duffel in his bathtub. After 5 years, they think he was killed “unlawfully” or he did it himself – though they demonstrated the difficulty of trying to stuff yourself into a duffel bag and zipping […]
