Henry 'The Crate' What about the...


station wagon his wife was driving? Where would he have hidden it in order for the cops not to suspect him at all? He drove it home afterwards didn't he?

Yes, problem solved.

How is it solved? The cops would suspect him more if the car is at their house.

reply

the cops didn't like his wife, either.

Though some people would beg to differ, I do think Henry getting rid of the monster was the wrong idea on his part. He used the creature to kill Wilma, but if he was afraid there could be evidence showing he was involved, surely getting rid of the creature would be worse, because it would only make him the prime suspect in her disappearence. If the creature was discovered by police they could conclude it had eaten her, rather than Henry saying she just "up and left me one night".

Granted several more people probably would've died, but at the end of the story, the obvious crime feels too perfect.

The police would be suspicious considering Wilma vanished off the face of the Earth. Henry still would've been the #1 suspect. That could lead to all kinds of trouble. Like maybe even being fired from the university.

I guess that was a chance Henry was willing to take. He wanted to get rid of Wilma THAT badly.

he seemed to be close to retirement. and he definitely wasn't hurting for money. the police would be suspicious. but Wilma was one of 3 people who would have mysteriously vanished. Henry wouldn't be the logical suspect for all 3. what would be his motive for killing a janitor?

Murders occur in large cities quite often, even kidnappings, etc.

Henry would certainly be a suspect in his wife's disappearance but the janitor and the student would probably be cold cases. There would be no way to suspect Henry, especially since Wilma had no connection with the other two.

All the more reason Henry should have contacted the police about the creature. Or at least lied until the police saw the beast with their own eyes, and didn't think he was pulling a prank.
