I will call my good friend Tom Turner, Florence Police Chief,  and have a Good O'L boy chat.

I have a fishing friend who lives right next door to Erwin Drake.  They have been neighbors for 15+ years.  After I read this article I called my friend and asked what happened.  My friend told me that for the last several months, Erwin's health has not been very good.  2 weeks ago Erwin fell down in the driveway while attempting to bring in his garbage can.  My friend went out and helped him get up and go in the house and lay down in bed.  Erwin did not want to go to the hospital.    Last week, my friend had not seen Erwin for several days, so he went next door to check,  My friend has a key to Erwins house so he let himself in.  He hollered for Erwin, no response, my friend went down the hallway to Erwins bedroom.  Erwin was laying there alive, but not very responsive.  My friend poked Erwin a  little and Erwin opened his eyes and sat up.   A few days later Erwin is murdered.   Hmmmmmm.
