Craziest find????..........Heres mine.
My friend and I went diving during a city mandated shelter in place due to some kid burning down the columbia gorge with fireworks. We figured perfect timing no one will be out. As I was going thru one dumpster she went thru a hole in the fence down a back alley to the other building to see if they had any furniture out and all of a sudden she comes running saying she found a body wrapped in plastic, at first I didn't believe her but I saw her panic.
She said she dropped her phone and I have to go back with her and picks up a random knife that was next to a glove and told me to take it for safety. I told her shes crazy she just picked up the murder weapon, so she throws it down and I followed her most of the way. She grabs her phone and we run to the front of the stores.
Then I look around see a bunch of cameras and realized we could be blamed we just wanted to get out of there thinking the killer was around. We paced back and forth debating what to do when the sheriff's drive by like usual on that street.
So I flag the cop down and we tell him we found a body. He calls back up and they have me wait behind with a female cop while the two dudes followed her. I was having a panic/asthma attack so they almost called an ambulance.
A few very long minutes went by before they emerged and she tells me the cops must have been rookies cause they made her walk first and they opened the lid the were freaked out. Cop #1 opens it and radios in 187 we got a body. Cop #2 kicks the dumpster....nothing happens and kicks it a 2nd time and on the 3rd the dude jumped out scared.
Cop #1 yelled why the fuck are you in the dumpster and why the fuck are you wrapped in plastic? The man was in fetal position wrapped in plastic said he was trying to escape the smoke from the wildfire...... I will never forget that night.
Thank God he was alive and that never happed again. BTW Portland had an active serial killer on the loose and it was beginning of covid.
