Have we discussed the headless corpse in a fish tank?

Something fishy about this story...

Have the police interviewed the fish?

Sounds pretty interesting. I love headless corpse cases.

Moral: Never lean down too close to the tank when feeding your pet piranha.

Brian Egg sleeps with the fishes.

Have they checked the torso's rectum for...eggs?

Cut or uncut?

Told ya I was hardcore :(

What was on his iPod...?

Stud habitués, please tell us about Brian. Was he a good egg?

On a serious note, it is odd that his neighbors saw people coming and going from the house, as well as someone “frantically cleaning”, and there was no concerted effort to investigate that.

And a crime scene cleaning crew was there prior to anybody knowing of an actual crime? If I understood the poorly written article, the body was discovered afterwards.

You can all fuck right off. I have an airtight alibi.

"He had a good head on his shoulders. We just can't seem to find it."

“Unfortunate” may be a better word than “odd”.

"Headless corpse in a fish tank."

The guy frantically cleaning also hired the crime scene cleaning team. He was arrested along with a second person, but police haven't charged them with anything.

Seen one, seen ‘em all.

That cleaning team was head and shoulders above the rest! (Except, of course, for the fact that they missed the rotting torso in the fish tank.)

Here's a timeline, but it doesn't really clear anything up.

Since this is DL someone will have to say that murderer is kind of hot in a Ted Bundyish, meth-addled way, but it won't be me.

Actually that timeline is helpful, and it's crazy that neither man is charged with murder. Maybe they're waiting for DNA results, who knows.

And then this happened.

Detailed article

24 replies on a San Francisco story, and no one has mentioned the poop map?

You’re slipping, DL.

I'll just leave this one here.

Egg is an unusual surname. I don't believe I've heard that one before. Egg's neighbor and good friend's name is Scot Free. Only in San Francisco...

He's Scot Free in every article I've read, but he's called Scot True in OP's.

And then there's Devon Egg, which sounds like a Scotch egg (Probably from Scot Free's Farm-Fresh Egg Farm) variation that's served with clotted cream.

The murderer is kind of hot, actually. I love how the poster above says it, but doesn't say it, even though we all know what he meant!

When will the house be on the market?

Not quite as catchy.

A “concealed part of the house.” WTF?

Tiny-house charm with a uniquely colorful past in the heart of San Francisco's famed Cloud Corridor! This 800 sq. ft. jewel box is clean, clean, clean and boasts partial new exterior paint! Just steps away from BitSpace360, Vungle, and Whole Foods!

Get your overbids in NOW; this one won't last!!

I'm not ashamed to admit I was thinking the apartment must be kind of nice if someone was willing to kill for it, and roomy enough to hide an entire torso without being easily seen.

So where's the dog?

R34–the article says the torso was in a concealed part of the house!

That means the apartment has enough room to conceal a torso, r36. It's [italic] roomy.[/italic]

Per Zillow, that house (228 Clara St.) is worth $1.5M, which means some foreign investor will pay $2.5M cash for it.

Wow that's really sad when a house like that pulls in that kind of $. Where I live you'd get maybe 70k for it or even less.

Can the fish tank be mentioned as "a unique water feature"?

Was there water in the fish tank of was it empty? I'm guessing it was empty.

Body with no head or hands in the fish tank? But the torso and legs and arms were there. Wow that's a very large fish tank.

Not big enough for our liking.

"Drowning Man To Fish Had Such Slots." WTF was I seeing in that video? The audio is no help as I don't speak Spanish. Was I hallucinating, or did everyone just run away from the body when fish came wriggling out of it?!

Egg was gay and kept bringing in other transients before this happened, so the handsomeness of the suspect indicates he was brought in to exchange sex in exchange for a can of creamed corn (which is literally what an elder friend of mine once did with a hot homeless guy), and it got ugly.

According to Free and Lyuber, Egg had his own dark history with the Stud. They said he had gotten into trouble for faking his own suicide, after losing his job at the bar in the late 1980s or early 1990s. They said they had heard he had broken bottles and destroyed property at the bar before driving his car on to the Bay Bridge and abandoning it. Eventually, they said, he was busted by police for pretending to have jumped into the bay.

Gatpandan, the police officer, said the department does not release information about past arrests. No court records or news accounts of the alleged faked suicide could be found online.

This guy literally lived across the street from me. I would see him walking his dog a lot, but he was pretty reclusive and didn't seem to have friends or any kind of support network. I never saw the vagrants that he allegedly took in over the years, and I didn't see the suspected murderers cleaning up the place or bringing the hazmat team in. Most of this must have happened when I was at work.

So where’s the dog?

Well ok so he’s faked his death before and the corpse has no head or hands so it probably isn’t him.

The ;police released the crime scene photo and it's horrific!

not a bad place for sleeping

R48 Good question. I have no idea.

The Guardian article was really interesting, I read it this morning.

Ok R12, what does Trump have to do with this

R41 police said there were chemicals poured into the tank. Presumeably that is why the couldn't even determine what gender the body was

What happened to the dog?

The murderers must have gotten in over their heads. I have the hand it to the Police--they were persistent.

OMG, stop with the dog. Chances are it's dead. Either the murder just stabbed it like a piece of meat or he left the mans head to much on for over a week.

So one of the guys they arrested is being held on parole violations. The other has been released. Weird

[quote]The other has been released

The poop on the streets doesn't get there by it self you know. SF has a shitty reputation to uphold.

So where's the head?

where is the head......AND the hands???

whoever did this sounds somewhat experienced using chemicals and stuffing him in a fish tank. I wonder if the tank was already there or if they purchased it. It is good that the neighbors were persistent as they only got away with it for about 2 months and it could have gone on for years. This is a good example of why you should be friendly with your neighbors so that if anything happens to you someone will miss you.

Maybe he was murdered BY neighbors...

The police have apparently definitively identified the body found in the fish tank as belonging to the owner of the house.

my friend lives on that street. He said the neighborhood was shocked, and that he thought there were likely drugs involved.

Why didn't they just throw it in the Bay?

Damn, that's really sad.

Never Steal Anything Wet

I’m intrigued by the concealed room.

I want one too, but not for my jacked up body to be stashed in by rough trade.

It's a red herring

Is this it?

You never can be too careful and my fish tank is small and unconcealed. I guess I'll be cancelling on my late evening rough-trade guest.

His death was only JUST NOW ruled a homicide!

Look at what a cutie he once was. Sad.

He bought his house for 19k back in the 70s. After he was killed they sold out for 1.5 million. They're bulldozing it and building 9 apartments. Insane. Rip.
