Faking Suicide
Samuel Israel III is missing. He may have jumped off a bridge or faked his own suicide. His car was found on the bridge, keys still inside. He wrote "suicide is painless" on the windshield. He left a bottle of pills in the car. This is complete overkill. I think the removal of any two of these four clues would have more convincing. For example; car not on bridge,nothing scrawled on windshield, but keys in car and bottle of pills in glovebox.

I've had that song stuck in my head since this story broke.
Paul, this will help get that song out of your head:

At one point I knew, like, all seven verses to that song.
Also at one point, I sent Alan Alda a kind of disturbing birthday card.
And currently, one of the questions on my mind is, "How would I react if I was trapped in an elevator with Alan Alda?"
The guy has like a billion dollars and drives a 2006 GMC Envoy? That's not believable either.
Bernie, I don't know. If we're picking two, I'd vote for car on the bridge and keys in the car. No scrawling song names on the car, period.
If I really wanted to convince them I'd killed myself I would have left my head in the car.
