Dumb Ways to Crime

The chain of real events started on the 13th of November 2000, when Dariusz Janiszewski, an entrepreneur from Wrocław (a city in south-western Poland), left his office to meet with a customer and was never heard from again. Earlier that day, an anonymous client called and said he was interested in the services of Janiszewski’s advertising company, he requested to talk to Janiszewski alone. A month later, fishermen discovered the tied-up body of Dariusz Janiszweski in the Odra river. The case went cold for three years but in that time a new detective, Jacek Wroblewski,  uncovers a novel by Krystian Bala called Amok that detailed the heroic killing in the name of love. A question arises though, does one shelve this book in the fiction or nonfiction section?

In March 2011, the Lululemon store in Bethesda, Maryland was turned into a gruesome crime scene overnight, when two employees were found brutally assaulted in the back of the store by the manager the next morning. The two workers were Jayna Murray, who was found dead at the scene, and Brittany Norwood, who was the only surviving witness. When asked by the police as to what happened that night, she described in detail on how two masked men broke into the store after hours, when Brittany and Jayna had returned to go get some items they left behind, and the two employees were brutally attacked. This seemingly simple tragedy reveals itself to be much more complicated then it seems, when one question arises, was there really two victims, or one?
