Just when you thought it was time to sunscreen up and grab a cold one to slip in that pool floaty, you discover something like this:
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/long-island/long-island-homeowner-uncovering-pool-for-summer-finds-body-floating-in-water/6278493/
Yes, on Sunday morning an East Shoreham (NY) resident removed his pool cover for the summer only to realize there had been a dead body floating in his pool for who knows how long.
The homeowner did not want to be named and definitely didn't want to talk to the media, so I'll go ahead and respect his privacy.
Interestingly enough, investigators are looking into whether the body might be that of 23-year-old fugitive Matthew Zoll, who police believe stabbed his father to death last November. Zoll went on the run after the stabbing, crashing his car about a half mile from where this body was found.
And yes, police had searched, last fall, this very neighborhood with the dirty pool.
The surprise twist? The property with the dirty pool is said to belong to a member of the task force that was searching for Zoll. Police declined to confirm this detail when asked by the media.
Regardless, the East Shoreham resident is going to need a deep clean of that pool.
The body was probably frozen for months and may have been still partially. I don’t know the weather there...........
I watch BONES reruns all the time. Great story lines and terrific actors.
And yes, BONES could write this into a good script.
Reminds me of that NCIS episode where the chopped body was found in the hot tub.
This article gives more details. The cop’s backyard abuts a wooded lot that leads to the site of the accident the perp ran from. Hiding under a pool cover only to die of hypothermia?
Several 55-gallon drums of Chlorox should shock treat the pool nicely.
Bad feng shui
I’m thinking more like Dexter.
Dexter would have cut that body into pieces, wrapped them up and sent them to the bottom of Long Island Sound.
He should have waited a half hour after fleeing before going into the water.
I’m thinking about 25 of the urinal cake size round chlorine blocks that come in a 5 gal plastic bucket.
Ain't that the truth. He tried to bends the rules.
Matthew Zoll, who police believe stabbed his father to death last November. Zoll went on the run after the stabbing, crashing his car about a half mile from where this body was found.
He tried to beat instant carma, but again with the rules:
You can run but you can't swim..
