Murder at 1600

[OceanMist333]

I was talking with a dive instructor at my local dive shop this morning and some individual behind me in line spoke up about an unusual find. ..

Under the Newport bridge, allegedly, he found an old work boot filled with cement and a bone sticking out of it. I asked him what he did with it, and he said he just kept on moving and wanted nothing to do with it.

Wouldn't it make sense to bring it to the surface and alert the proper authorities? This has the potential to be a cold case murder.. right?

No, the proper course of action would be to leave it where it was, mark the location some how, and alert the authorities and tell me how to find it. Bringing it to the surface yourself could contaminate any evidence. Plus by marking the location they can search the surrounding area.

Wrong!
If it were a murder the cement would be around the outside of the boot, which would have been full of meat & bone when it was dumped.
Pretty good prank, though.

I found a steel drum full of concrete dumped off a bridge. We thought it was suspicious and used a fire dept rescue saw to cut it up in chunks. Turned out it was nothing but concrete.
