New Body Dumping Ground Opens On 10 Freeway

Coachella, CA

Caltrans workers doing cleanup on the eastbound 10 Freeway found a dead man, Saturday morning. According to Riverside police, he was dumped after being assaulted and killed somewhere else.

I'm actually kind of surprised I don't hear more of this sort of thing. It makes sense when you think about it. Why dig a shallow grave when the crows are going to lead the cops to it, anyway?

It's back breaking work. The digging, the hauling, the covering over, the realization that you misjudged by a foot and a half in all dimensions and there's a pair of blood slick Doc Marten's sticking straight up into the air.

But now we live in the age of convenience. Just do 80 down the freeway and toss it out the back and let the road crews clean it up. Now if only they'd offer pick-up service we'd be set.
