Detectives, What are Some of the Creepiest Cases You Have Worked On?

detectives of reddit what are some of the creepiest cases you have worked on all right detective now but this happened when i was on patrol several years ago got a call to check the welfare of a guy whose neighbor hadn't seen him in a couple years why it took so long to report but it was out in a rural area anyway we roll up and the windows are black with mold and flies car is parked in the garage no signs of forced entry breach the door and find said guy wrapped up in a phone cord beside a toppled chair in his dining room he was mummified melting into the carpet barely recognizable as a human aside from his shape and clothes the smell of him mingled with the inches of stagnant water in his basements from burst pipes and all the dead flies and mold i'll never forget it we also found two bags of groceries neatly packed on the floor in his kitchen house was very tidy as well no witnesses estranged from his family clearly had a cat but we never found its remains medical record indicated he had a heart condition my theory is he was having a heart attack and tried to call nine one one but never got to make the call perhaps the creepiest part his mailbox was overflowing with past due bills and cancelled utility notices the last one was a couple months old and it's still too someone that long to call i find it really sad that no one knew he was gone in all that time detective here attached to a coastal town with a fishing wharf started work one day when we get a call from the water police who have responded to an abandoned boat floating off the coast they have towed it into the bay where they requested our assistance and they would advise us further on arrival we head down thinking someone had stolen the boat or something else routine when we get there we are told that no one went further than the entrance before it was sealed off as a crime scene we have a quick look below the deck and see why three people clearly dead with one slumped over the wheel one on the floor and the other in a chair no struggle no injuries and nothing out of place completely silent other than the water on the hull and the fender squeaking against the police launch turned out to be an accident lack of upkeep on the very old engine meant fumes leaked in and the three were poisoned at which point the engine just ran until the diesel was gone something about this one just hits me people looking to get out on the ocean and have a nice time not knowing they wouldn't come back alive it's just sad my brother not me i usually tell this long and dramatic but here is the quick to the punch version schizophrenic woman reported being watched by ghosts at the abandoned funeral home turned out when investigating someone or something dum-dum-dum was actually watching the people in her building and keeping crude log books of their coming and goings and left some of them in the place my brother's theory was that they were discovered almost discovered and fled anyways no idea what kind of crime was being planned but that whole thing sounded creepy as frictomy ex-insurance investigator here the most unsettling arson case i worked was at the masonic temple in the historic black business district in downtown birmingham this beautiful eight-story renaissance revival style building was constructed in the 1920s and included a massive marble lobby and a grand and i mean grand ballroom it also housed numerous black owned businesses like tailors dressmakers attorneys doctors dentists the naacp etc etc after integration and white flight the business is closed or moved resulting in the building becoming vacant with the exception of the still functioning masons even though the building was heavily secured and guarded by a single security officer it was still breached by squatters seekhedes who managed to cause a fire on the third floor that's where i came in my job was to determine the source cause and extent of the fire damage that meant exploring the entire building which had no electricity because the fire department cut it until it was deemed safe to resume electrical services the grand ballroom took up the entire second floor and luckily had no damage so i just admired the exquisite millwork and agor the third floor housed mostly professional offices some even contained their original mid-century furniture in pristine condition the fourth floor however became darker literally darker i used a flashlight to advance down the gloomy hallways and inspect every room i found the naacp office that was literally frozen in time file cabinets and all as i was moving down the second hallway my eyes fixated on a large looming structure in the far corner i slowly made my way closer nervous about what i would find finally i was close enough to discover a freaking coffin an old dracula style coffin standing up at the end of the hall i didn't dare touch it as i ascended the building alone each floor proved darker and gloomier than the one before even though each floor had the same amount of windows and the further up i moved the more freaking coffins i found in the middle of offices in closets blocking doors from the inside it made no sense until i got to the top floor there i found only two businesses a coffin company and the order of the eastern star i had an overwhelming feeling that i absolutely should not be there especially not snooping around the oes lodge i snapped a few pics then bolted down the hall and hit the stairwell to the lobby the only area i hadn't inspected was the basement and i wasn't sure my nerves were up to it i discovered a full fallout shelter down there hundreds of drums of community shelter supplies water food medical supplies radiation detectors everything the whole building was a massive time capsule and i felt like i went back in time just being there that was definitely my most interesting and spooky investigation not a detective but a forensic computer examiner for my local sheriff's department i work closely with detectives and do lots of investigative work so i feel i can accurately contribute to the conversation despite what the title suggests a lot of my work is actually based on cell phone dumps i once got a request from a detective to dump a guy's phone because he was attempting to sell our county jail jumpsuits don't ask me why i wouldn't know why anyone would want to buy one or how he even got a hold of one so i did what i'm supposed to and dumped his phone's data into a report for the detective to go through problem was there was way more on the phone than what we had bargained for turns out the guy was really into underage girls to the point that he had thousands of images of cp on the device so i called the detective up and informed him that he was going to need another warrant to cover the cp for the device so he did and began creating a cp case against the guy several days later it was time for the guy's prelim hearing for the county jumpsuit sales he left the courthouse after the hearing and was immediately re-arrested for the cp violations he had a backpack on him with three more phones in it i was given said phones to dump for the new cp case same amount of cp on all three devices as on the first one this wasn't necessarily a super creepy bone chilling case but it sure as heck makes you realize how much of that stuff is actually out there and it's hidden in plain sight a lot of the time well time to go to court better pack all my p phones that guy forensic account here i had a client whose employee had used the company account for payments to a graphic designer except instead of marketing materials he had commissioned 15 k worth of lowly and sonic p that is either a lot of p or a few pieces of exquisite sonic p this happened when i was a newer cop on patrol long before i became a detective i was working midnight in a neighborhood with a high violent crime rate and we got sent to a dispute at a bar this wasn't just any bar we always referred to it as the star wars cantina because it was always a crap show we stopped a rape in progress in the dirt alley behind the same bar not long after this i was working with a female that night we make our way through the bar systematically booting people out and get to the bathrooms i open the door to the men's room and it's empty single stall bathrooms my female partner goes to open the women's bathroom door but it's locked she knocks on the door and a female says i'll be out in a minute we advise her that the bar is closing bars close at 4am in ny after a couple of minutes we begin to grow impatient female partner knocks on the door again and the female agrees to open the door when she comes out we ask her what took so long she's not providing any substance in her answers she's wearing tight yoga pants and we notice that she has a large bulge in the back of her pants crotch we believe she was either doing drugs in the bathroom and shoved the rest in her pants or that it was a weapon but when we question her about it she's very evasive and won't answer us female partner begins to search her as she pulls back the females pants and shines her flashlight down to look my partner says frick she sees a baby arm sticking out from the female's vagina and up through her butt cheeks this chick had been drinking and smoking crack all day she had a stillborn and continued to stay at the bar and drink smoke crack when the ambulance arrived they went back into the bathroom with the female and pulled the rest of the baby out of the female and into the toilet bowl the baby was completely formed except it never formed a head it was just sunken in around the neck i've seen some crazy crap in my career like brutal homicides etc but that one always stands out the most worked all day wanted to relax and not think about virus went to read it goodbye internet i have a couple that i was tangentially involved with first one that comes to mind was this kid smart kid chinese student coming to america for school on an engineering scholarship i believe was dating a girl during undergrad but they broke up so he could go to grad school at an ivy league she started talking to someone else a while after they broke up and he caught wind of it he bought an airsoft gun and some knives online next day air shipped them to his apartment drove back to where his ex lived and staked out her house taking meticulous notes about the comings and goings when his ex was home when her roommate was home he went and knocked on the door when just the roommate was home brandished the airsoft gun like it was a bb gun and negotiated his way in he bound and gagged a roommate and waited for his ex to get back when she finally got back he forced her at gunpoint to sit in a chair where he tied her up and taped over her mouth he stabbed her in the neck once and then just stared at her expecting that to kill her instantly like a movie or video game when it didn't he stabbed her i don't know how many more times but a lot more to me the creepy part is the level of planning that he did i can understand a crime of passion but this was so dispassionate to have enough time to order your murder weapons online and have them delivered then drive ours to the destination of your murder and plan it out and at no point get the feeling that you shouldn't follow through with this act to me that's the sign of a true sociopath i used to work with a retired lapd beats cop of 30 years in his retirement fund money gig working on an ambulance he told me this story that sent chills down my spine he pulls over this sedan for expired tags and neither the driver or passenger has any paperwork driving illegally and they're both acting shady as frick so he calls for backup detains them and searches the car he finds two dead young teenage girls in the trunk they are naked bound and gagged and had been mutilated and there was tons of devices obviously meant for torture he calls in the homicide detectives and the cavalry comes the two guys are hauled away to jail and his day wraps up after all the normal procedures and paperwork has been filed and he says that was the last he ever heard of that case nothing no subpoenas no testimony to a grand jury no interviews for the homicide detectives no stories in the paper nothing he said it wasn't his normal area and didn't know the other cops and detectives that showed up so that it's possible it just got lost in the enormity of the la justice system but he always wondered if there wasn't some shady crap going on my boyfriend was the detective in this case an officer doing a wellness check on an elderly woman spoke with her son he said she was out at the moment but she was doing well he spoke in detail about what she was up to lately and all that the officer noticed a strong smell coming from the yard though i'm sure you see where this is going as i don't think pretending a deceased relative alive to keep receiving their benefits is uncommon the officer turned the case over to her detective my boyfriend who returned with a warrant there were two houses a main house and a small apartment style house in the backyard where the mother once lived when they entered the sun seemed calm showed them right to the mother continued to speak as if she was still alive and well in the bed they found the body that had clearly been there for a long time it was like a putrid puddle the stench was unbearable the sun adamantly refused that she was dead insisting she had just been up and around the main house yesterday i learned this story about from my boyfriend as an explanation as to why he always uses so much cologne air fresheners scented fabric softeners etc the smell is apparently something you never forget okay i i here's a non-joke but it's my husband's story he is a detective someone dumped a body in an alley right by the pd but in a spot that no one frequented so after a few days in mid-summer heat the body melted so bad they couldn't eat by looks or tattoos just the clothes and hair and dna once they figured out who she was long story short it was a serial killer who had dumped her and they found cctv of him stalking people at the local shopping center right after he dumped the body they watched him spend over four hours walking around leaving to his car and changing clothes hat and going back in following women for a bit changing his mind he left empty-handed and ended up getting caught a couple states away the following week creepiest part for me was that i went shopping there the same day made me thankful for all the situational awareness training i got from my dad also a detective made my husband more paranoid but that's a different story insurance adjuster here i'm not a detective but i do lots of fraud investigations the ones that aren't fraudulent sometimes just turn out to be really freaking weird the winner for me hands down is the man who claimed he was terrorized by mole people i know i know mole people sounds like something i would make up for fake internet points we had a laugh about the adjuster potentially trying to pad their claims count because this man filed 60 claims in about seven months for context the average is like one a year for most policies after talking with this gentleman i no longer had doubts my in-person interview was about two hours i had more than enough in the first five minutes and was trying to leave for most of it but he kept blocking the door or directing me to wrong way to keep the mole people off my scent it was kind of sweet in a twisted way he genuinely thought the mole people would come after me if i didn't follow his rules he directed me to park ye oldie company car about a mile away on a concrete parking flat he had made we couldn't walk on the dirt road there the knoll people constantly changed where it went but the claims he filed were all in similar veins the mole people moved his car every night with magnets and damaged the suspension and the noise kept our insured awake they'd steal his hubcap and put them back before they thought he would notice but he noticed and they were covered in scratches from being pulled through the dirt they would use long thin sticks from underground to siphon gas or wiper fluid or oil but never more than a few drops and for every one of these things he would file a claim which would inevitably be well below his deductible we decided there was no fraud but a call to adult protective services was merited the eastern german stasi would use a similar tactic psychological warfare actually to unnerve a political troublemaker they would go into a person's house when they were away and make very subtle changes like hiding one shoe or changing the time on a clock or alarm eight minutes removing some groceries putting in others increasing the temperature of a refrigerator etc i've heard this one many times from the detective's friend as it's the most told story they were undercover in a mob and gathered enough evidence to search a house the guys used a lot the search led them to a basement filled with water halfway up the stairs they shone flashlights and didn't see anything at first then saw something glinting in the water they turned to go up the stairs to get a brighter light and along the walls and the door frame were gouges the back of the door too they got their bright lights and went back down and it turns out the bad guys had two crocodiles in there and when someone peed them off they put them in the basement and locked the door gorgeous had skin particles in them was by far the craziest creepiest case i heard and there's quite a few cops in the family not a detective but i know a creepy case a friend of mine grew up in a big family house with her immediate family plus an uncle and grandparents sometimes her and her brother would wake up with things written on their faces in permanent texture just random phrases nothing too shocking the kids were about eight or nine years old they both deny doing it and no one looked any further into it anyway eventually the uncle is killed in his bed stabbed to death the police investigate and it turns out there's a dude living in their roof i think i saw a movie at one point where someone was living in the attic and i crap you not this is one of my fears anytime i hear creaking noises in my ceiling i think there's someone up there watching and waiting so yeah i'm not sleeping tonight now got chills when i read that last line i honestly think it's stupid that you should have to add a serious tag to your us credit post if you want it taken seriously as credit posts should be serious by default if you want a joke thread you should have to add a satire tag i freaking hate seeing a good question only to realize the thread is nothing but the funny jokes humans aren't serious most of the time and buttholes grow like weeds on their family trees detective here one of few on ridicu would appear had a sexual assault job few years back woman went to a fancy dress party attacked on her way home doing inquiries on the street we luck out find this neighbor with cctv captures the guy jumping her and dragging her into her front lawn she was wearing a little red riding hood costume so she was easy to spot she'd been drinking couldn't remember how she got home checking possible routes we find a rundown housing complex nearby and found more cctv of her stumbling home alone hood up headphones in she's oblivious when he suddenly appears from the shadows behind her watching her hiding behind corners then following her again he keeps getting to within touching distance of her and then backing off purp has a black furry hooded coat up over his head is completely covered head to toe looks like a wolf whole thing very surreal anyway that wasn't the creepiest thing we managed to trace her back to a well-known fast food place a few blocks away turns out wolfman was in there for over two hours before she walked in loitering in the queues bailing out at the last minute standing in the corner watching girls come in a guy was waiting for his perfect target but he didn't believe his luck some of the creepiest footage i've ever seen was of when she walks in restaurant had hd footage i'm not crapping you he was licking his lips didn't take his eyes off her once followed her out the rest we already knew just overlay who's afraid of the big bad wolf on the footage and you've got the opening for a new bbc procedural we had a case where a guy killed five minus six members of his family and when the police came to the scene he was eating one of his family members balls on the front lawn i suppose to get their strength not a detective but my uncle was a cop essentially they got a call to a house the neighbors had called the police and told them there was a strong odor coming from the apartment next door they got a little worried as this was an older woman who only really left her home for essentials they knocked on her door and she wouldn't answer basically police get there after many times knocking and calling no answer so they had the landlord unlock her door they weren't necessarily thinking she was dead initially not sure how it seems fairly obvious they get inside and the odor is just awful like burnt hair and cooked meat the woman was taking a shower she went to adjust the heat to be more hot she slipped and fell on a loafer that was on the floor of the bath and hit her head on the tap somehow in the fall she managed to turn the heat tap way too much essentially she passed out and then died from brain hemorrhaging and then the hot shower boiled her the hot water was running on her for about a day and a half the tenant said that they were wondering why there was very limited hot water in the small apartment which was downtown above a bar so it wasn't like they had separate piping and crap like that so to sum it all up old woman died in her shower hot water turned her into pulled pork but like mushy pulled pork yeah my uncle offered to show me pictures he had of it i'm pretty desensitized to gore as i follow many communities that deal with that but i just don't think i'd be able to handle that still to this day one of the grossest things i've ever heard wow thank you so much i didn't think i'd get such a thorough response i will be saving this and using it in my search my grandpa was murdered back in november he lived in rural farm town and we don't have very much faith in the police investigation it's crazier than i can even explain so basically we decided we need to look into hiring a pie my dad was a detective and told me and my siblings briefly about a case where a killer would take a different part of each body he had collected two legs a torso and one arm his motive was that he wanted someone to play with reasonable girl stopped breathing in her bed potential suffocation murder turned out to just be a lung failure but it still creeped me out private investigator here looking into a liability stabbing case they were blaming the apartment complex for the resident getting stabbed by another resident turns out the dude was planning a mass shooting and was part of multiple right-wing white supremacist groups trump 2020 guy wanted to attach a gun to a drone and kill a ton of people instead he was so racist he couldn't help but stab his black neighbor before he pulled it off his social media was essentially a manifesto and the cops found a bunch of firearms laid out fully loaded and ready to go i feel bad for the neighbor but they're getting stabbed likely saved multiple people's lives not a detective actually trying to be a firefighter now anyway i had an internship at the sheriff's office back where i lived guy came in because a guy was threatening him over text and sending him pictures one was three severed heads might have been fake but the other one i saw was a guy with a bullet hole in his head the bullet wound looked pretty real the dude's head looked like it should have been smaller but getting a bullet to it expanded it like balloon i'm not a detective but if you're looking for something to occupy your time i suggest missing 411 it's about people who disappear in national forests just for your information david paul eyes the guy who originally wrote about it is a big foot hunter but in 411 he offers not opinions on how people disappeared just the circumstances of their disappearances some of his evidence is really strong a woman named kim disappeared then another woman named amy also disappeared both their names have three letters that can't be a coincidence if you are new to the channel you can subscribe i publish new videos every day until then check another video [Music] bye for now
