True (?) Crime Story

Waiting for the train thisSunday evening we were approached by an un-prepossessing, balding honky (Older even than we.) in those grotesque cargo pants & a white T-shirt, who asked if the trains ran all night, to which we responded no. (Fucking Boy Scout, we're so helpful.) He then asked us if we "knew that there are people who had committed murder who've been released from prison?" Already sensing this was not headed in a good direction, we non-committedly assented, which he took as a cue to tell us something about someone who killed someone (By now we'd started tuning him out.) someone's brothers & sisters(?) & how he had then killed the aunt of the guy who killed whoever (A brother or sister?) was first killed. (We didn't quite entirely get if nephew/Killer A had been convicted.) He also demonstrated stabbing the aunt w/ imaginary knife in closed fist in 1969 in either Hawthorne or Torrance (Have, for whatever reason, always confused the two, & were ready to fight or flee at any moment. Memory is a strange thing.) & claimed the murder had never been solved.

To which we responded "We won't tell any one what you told us" got up & moved to the other end of the platform.

Should we call the cold case units in Hawthorne/Torrance & see if anyone's aunt was stabbed to death in 1969?

    Police Desk Editor:
    More stabbing than slashing, judging from the gent's demonstration of it.
