Two men in Mississippi found a parked car with a "free car" sign on it. The key was in the car. They hopped in and drove the car about 30 miles to a relative's house. When they opened the trunk, they found a body inside.
Copiah County coroner Ellis Stuart said the body had been in the trunk for several days and had no clothes.
From WSAW-TV:
The manager of Starz Auto Sales, the junkyard Errington referred to, is named Dan Peacock. Peacock said he passed by the car a number of times Saturday. But by Sunday, it was gone.
"[I] never stopped and looked or anything, but I knew it was kind of unusual," Peacock said. "I figured somebody was driving down here to sell it. We buy a bunch of cars. I figured somebody was driving down to sell it, and it quit on them or something. Just never dawned on me that something like that went on."
"I wish I would have looked into it further," Peacock said. "I might've been able to help them a little bit further with it, but I just never stopped and looked at it. If I had stopped and looked at it, I would've probably tripped. I would've probably flipped out if I had stopped and seen something like that."
The lesson here: next time make a sign that says, "free car, but don't open the trunk"
