The young man Mr. Hershfield has been pushed out of his job. Anyone who's ever dealt with a large dead animal, be it human or a deer, knows just how much work goes into moving an awkwardly shaped hundred pounds. Fifteen cadavers? That scrawny kid managed to move fifteen cadavers into various rooms, and then string them up to the ceiling? I don't care that he had seven hours to do it in, that sort of effort would have left all sorts of evidence.

Trails of blood or bodily fluids, the young man's sweat from exertion, drag marks on carpet or through dust on hard floor, etc. The list just goes on. There is no way in hell that he moved these bodies; so we have to ask ourselves, is there someone who might have benefited from this?

Surely it brings less business to the Broussards, a kind family I can tell you that, but it does give them an excuse to be slow about their work for a while, which perhaps is a benefit, but I doubt it. No, I suspect that their thorough work on the bodies could be bringing them across some questionable deaths, and it wouldn't be first time some coroner has lied and then hidden evidence only to have the Broussards or some other funeral home find the truth.

Maybe the Broussards have stumbled onto one too many truths. I think someone is trying to shut them down with bad publicity. With all the strange things I get all busy with, I have to say, that this theory doesn't seem so far fetched. If it's not someone setting them up, well then, this wouldn't be the first case of the dead moving themselves to grace this magazine.
