Creative Writing: The Arthur And Queenie Volupid Incident
I arrived at the home of Arthur and Queenie Volupids at 1:15am on October 13th 1982. I found Arthur lying dead at the bottom of the staircase with his right foot on the third step. His clothes were neat and his glass was still in his hand. The wall’s and the carpet around him and the stairs were undisturbed. (objective) I noticed that if Arthur was coming down the stairs for another drink like Queenie had said that his glass would be in his right hand. The reason I think this is because if you're drunk you would automatically grab the railing with your left hand. Queenie stated that he had tripped and fell down the stairs, he would have landed on his face and his clothes would have been scuffed up. While Arthur was falling down the …show more content…
She stated that she had found him at the bottom of the stairs dead when she came home. She had ten minutes to call the police or go to the neighbors before her friends came over. Queenie had plenty of time to calm down and call the police about the incident. I suspect that Queenie waited for her friends so that she would have back up in court.
Neighbors said that Queenie sped off after an argument with her husband, to the celebration at their country club. My opinion on this whole mystery is that Queenie had killed her husband before she left for the country club. She followed him up the stairs and hit him on the head with the frying pan. She then used the frying pan to cook snacks which would also get rid of the DNA. She then went to the country club to use her friends as a cover up when she got home. (subjective)
When her friends arrived at her home, she acted all surprised about the incident making them think that it was all an accident. Queenie was hoping that if her friends believed that it was an accident that they could help her in court. She had not thought out her plan to thoroughly. Even though Queenie had her friend's help she was found guilty for the murder of her husband Arthur

    They both had alibis at the supposed time of murder but that was part of their plan. That morning, Patrick had arranged to meet Arlena at Pixy Cove; he instructed her to hide in a hidden cave if she heard anyone coming. Christine, meanwhile, set Linda’s watch back so she had an alibi then headed to Pixy Cove where she changed to look like Arlena and lay face down. When Patrick came down from his room, he acted surprised not seeing Arlena and volunteered to row out with Emily so he could find her then discovered her ‘dead’. He stayed while Emily left to get the police. Arlena finally came out of the cave after hearing Patrick’s voice which is when he strangled her. Nobody suspected Patrick and Christine because Patrick seemed infatuated with Arlena and Christine depicted herself as a weak, fragile, woman with no athletic…

    Mary Hogan was a local bar owner where Ed sometimes went for a beer. Surprisingly Gein was never suspected in her disappearance; even after making jokes that she was “staying” at his house. Gein’s next murder was Bernice Worden in 1957. Bernice was a local hardware store owner. The night before her disappearance Ed was in her store and said he would be back the next day for some anti-freeze. A receipt for anti-freeze was the last receipt made out by Bernice the following day; making Gein a prime suspect. Police went to his property, and upon searching a building behind the house found Bernice Worden’s body. She had been shot and strung up upside-down like a deer; her head cut off and internal organs removed. Police then searched his house finding other atrocities such as: human masks, clothing, skulls, organs, skin covered furniture, and skull…

    Queenie Volupides isn't telling the truth about the events that led to the death of her husband of her husband Arthur.

Finally, I ran over to Griffin surrounded by a pool of blood, and put my ear by Griffin’s heart to see if it was beating.

    Digging up the Dead

    • 836 Words

    Kammen presents vignettes that are unusual, grim, and actually entertaining. He fastidiously follows each one stage of the reburial methodology, from the profoundly political and individual inspirations of uncovering human stays to the orderly logistical contemplations connected with these intricate "do-overs." One of the most captivating parts of the content is the way the exhumation of remarkable figures welcomes a deeper discussion about the legitimate inquirers of these well-known bodies. Kammen deftly represents how this endeavor is on the double national and familial, as the aggregate opinion of a nation is offered as a powerful influence for the individual wishes of the perished. The body turns into a much challenged site to which social worth is credited, anticipated that will oblige the seriously individual wishes of families and the pressing open needs of a local, state, or city. Undoubtedly, other than the inspiration to rebury the body in closeness to home or with family, there lies a more limitless proximity to bigger belief systems of race, religion, or patriotism.…

    There was nothing. The police had asked her if she had imagined it and she said she had been sure that there was someone outside. The police reassured her and told her she might be hallucinating because she was home alone. The police then decided to leave. After they had left, Anna found herself standing as still as a statue with her mouth gaping open behind the sofa where she had been standing when she saw the masked serial killer outside. There was a knife and blood on the floor. Anna felt her neck, tiny droplets of blood was falling from her neck. The masked serial killer had not been outside the house. It turns out she had been looking at the reflection of the masked guy as he was standing behind her…inside the house.
