I've heard a lot of stories from my grandfather. He was a detective for 27 years of his life,

and I grew up listening to the tales of he and his fellow lawmen. As a child, he obviously

amended the stories quite a bit to make them age appropriate, but as I grew up, more

and more of the true stories came out, starting about two years ago. My grandpa, he got very sick.

He's been on a slow decline ever since, and while it's been one of the hardest things I've ever

had to deal with, his illness acted as the catalyst for a set of stories he'd never before brought up.

So he kept them filed away deep in the folder he doesn't like to open. He calls them

the impossible ones, but this last one, the one he told me last night, he said, he said,

it's the one that still keeps him up some nights. The one he thinks about every day, he said,

he looked over the case files more times than he can remember, than a full re-examination of it all

more times than he can remember, and it never makes any more sense. He said he only told me now

because he feels in his bones that he doesn't have a lot of time left.

I recorded him telling me the story, so it follows as my transcription of the case, verbatim.

I've only excluded his coughing fits and he off-topic remarks made during the telling of this case.

The case was a murder kidnapping, at least. That's what it looked like. There's me and Olsen,

told you about him. There was a family in the Neville's. There was Benjamin, the husband,

Jennifer, the wife, and Katie. There's six-year-old daughter. One of the neighbors had gone out for

the paper around 6am and saw the Neville's front door wide open. Once you went over to see if everything

was okay, she saw the wife's body. The neighbor called 911 and eventually we were sent over there.

Now, when I say there was no outward signs of a struggle, I mean it.

There were no signs whatsoever that anything had happened, except for the dead body, but

even her body, there was no wounds, no marks of any kind. I'm getting out of myself.
