Make sure there are no footprints or anything to connect me to the area. Go a few blocks away. Use a public phone, disguise my voice, and report the body. Then pretend I know nothing. And if by chance they somehow connected it to me. I'd say. I did say something. They didn't believe me so we went to look. The body wasn't there when I went back for a second look, so I didn't think anyone would believe that I had seen it. Della at deepotter at peoplepc dot com
