“Encounters with the Devil in Tennessee."

I have a meticulous eye for detail and a keen sense of smell. Right off the bat, I could smell a lady’s perfume. It wasn’t a strong smell, but a faint scent of Dana Tabu still lingered in the room, the forbidden perfume. How did I know this distinctive smell? It wasn’t hard for me to figure it out. My mother’s best friend, Marilyn, wore it; it was one of those fragrances you couldn’t forget, and it was enticing. Well, Marilyn wasn’t in the room and wasn’t the killer. Maybe it was from a lady policewoman, the victim’s perfume, or the killer's scent? It was an eerie feeling as I looked around the room. The outline of the dead girl’s body was not in chalk, but there were blood stains where the body was, with small, numbered plastic triangles to keep track of how the body was lying on the floor, and in other words, marking where the deceased figure was found. If you’re ever murdered, don’t worry about trying to strike some cool, refreshing, entertaining, priceless pose. The old cliché of a tape or chalk silhouette might work for a movie or TV show; why not use chalk? It would contaminate the crime scene. Instead, photographs are taken of the body from multiple angles and surroundings, along with a series of measurements to fixed reference points. (numbered plastic triangles)
