A chilling scene unfolds on the Woodstock, Connecticut, property of the Sesame Street puppeteer who performed Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch:
Near the top of the entry street was a picnic space with a big pagoda-like construction topped by an A-framed roof. Two paddle boats have been saved beneath the ceiling of the open-air constructing. The pagoda had that sacred, non secular look one would count on of a spot to calm down and meditate. Here was a haven separated from the primary dwelling house the place one may retreat and disconnect from the world.
What upset the serenity of the scene was the path of blood. It lead from the roadway on to the pagoda—and but stopped within the heart of the bottom beneath the ceiling. The paddle boats, investigators seen, had blood spatter and smudge marks on them. But what did it imply that the path of blood simply stopped?
As they continued to look, troopers seemed above them and spied a set of pull-down stairs. There was a storage space or attic throughout the pagoda’s A-frame.
The blood path had stopped immediately beneath the pull-down stairs.
