Then I asked him if he knew Karl personally and why was he calling this
number. I then said off to the side, "get some pictures of the body at
various angles and the blood smears", I then turned back to the phone
and advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay
on the line because we had already traced this call and he would be
receiving a summons to testify in this murder case.
I questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone
number at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the dead guy and
could he prove where he had been about one hour before he made this
call.
The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were given
in a shaky voice. I then told him we had located his position and the
police were entering the building to take him into custody, at that
point I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his feet running away.
My wife asked me as I returned to our table why I had tears streaming
down my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about fifteen
minutes. My meal was cold, but it was the best meal in a long, long
time.
I love this, serves them right. I've had the same problem, a couple of times it's been actual people. Once I even had one argue with me when I told them that person was not at this number. They kept insisting that I owed the bill thinking I was lying to them about who I was since the person they were looking for was female. I finally got completely annoyed and hung up on them, then called the company back and spoke to a supervisor...needless to say I never received another call from that company.
