Woman Left For Dead in Bed

A spooky roommate story. Jasmine Brock had been staying on the sofa bed of her friend Sally Jones for six months, and when Jones tried to wake Brock up last Friday, she was concerned when Jones wouldn't wake up. And it turned out that Jones had been murdered. Jones says she went to the living room on Friday morning to give the phone to Brock, but Brock was sleeping with a man. The man left before Jones realized Brock was dead. The ME's office says Brock had been strangled, and police are looking for the man.

Hey,

This is a riddle, right?? Because I can't follow what you are saying here at all. It's borderline incoherent.

yikes. that's a great alibi. blame it on a mysterious, one-night stand, but all the while, you killed your own roommate. not that she did. i'm just saying, it would make a great movie. sorry for the chick who died, though.

um, i dunno if noticed this, but you've got a big typo in that post. it's brock that got murdered, not jones. i got really confused when i read that "jones got murdered" before, in the next sentence, resurrecting miraculously to give a statement about going into the living room! heh.
