How to make the news in Hickory, NC

Here is your headline:

Police: Man killed; words carved in body

They'll tell us words were carved into the victim's body, but they won't tell us what they said.

So what exactly is the point of telling us?

"A man was killed early Monday morning in what the police are calling one of the most gruesome crime scenes they’ve seen in years."

Shotgun.

Ax.

Knife.

Ball point pen???

The story is complete with images and a map. I guess in case you want to check it out???

  1. Well, this is quite an odd story! It almost seems as if the accused was "killing more than one" by using his various weapons. What was the point in teasing the public by telling them that the body had writing on it and not following up on it? This is proof they they are just out to get our attention and only present us with what they want us to hear. To me, this story should produce great flak because people should want to know and expect the media to present the infromation they eluded to. It is quite a mixed up situation where many things need to be considered, but we should not be left with so many questions when we read articles like this.
