Were the corpses put into the car, so that the maggots were confined there? Was somebody afraid of maggots? Were the maggots dangerous? Did somebody want to "cultivate" maggots (yuck... but some cultures think of them as a delicatesse)? Are the maggots relevant at all? | ||

Does anyone besides the person or persons who physically towed the car into the woods know that the bodies are there? | ||

Is it widely known that the bodies are there? Known by {insert list of numbers} people? What state relevent? Coniferous or decidious? Maggots supposed to get rid of the 'evidence' of the bodies or make them otherwise indistinguishable? | ||
| Kitral Solane (Solane)
|
How did the car get wreaked? That's not a yes or no question. And the spelling is awful. Oops... Relevent that the car was wreaked? Or just that it was being towed because it was wreaked?(If, perchance, that was why it was being towed.) If a lot of people knew about this situation, would thay find it interesting? Disgusting? Acceptable? Crazy? Mildly intriguing? Not worth mentioning? (Assuming that alot of people don't already know...) | ||

Sorry, double post on accident. It'd so frustrating when you know you're spelling a word wrong, but you can't figure out how to spell it right. | ||

Is it widely known that the bodies are there? Yes Known by many people? It's no secret and it was in the media What state relevent? No Coniferous or decidious? doesn't matter Maggots supposed to get rid of the 'evidence' of the bodies or make them otherwise indistinguishable? Noish Oops... Relevent that the car was wreaked? Or just that it was being towed because it was wreaked?(If, perchance, that was why it was being towed.) It could be every car but a wreked one makes more sense If a lot of people knew about this situation, would thay find it interesting? Disgusting? Acceptable? Crazy? Mildly intriguing? Not worth mentioning? Many people know it and they would call it interesting and acceptable | ||

Maggots being grown on corpses!!!! Is it a part of some forensic experiment? Some other kind of experiment? Were the deaths of those two people lawful ? I mean they died of natural causes? | ||
| Barbara Johannessen Bailey (Rabrab)

Check your e-mail, please, SoBS. And the spelling you're looking for is w-r-e-c-k-e-d. | ||
| Kitral Solane (Solane)
|
If the dead people were asked before they died, would they agree to what was happening? Did they ask for it to happen, like donate their bodies? | ||

Well done Emptyhead and Rabrab ***** SPOILER ***** The forest is a place called "Body Farm" (Knoxville, Tennessee) which is a mixture of a graveyard and a lab. A man called Dr. Bass has placed human corpses there (burried, in plastic bags, in a lake or in a car) and obsverves them rotting. The results of his studies may help the police to find out the time somebody died etc. The people which are lying there decided to give there copses to the Body Farm before they died. We hope you enjoyed the puzzle, even though it was way to easy. I'll post our next one in a few minutes. |
