Bizarre murder case in Big Sur

From Oct 13:

GORDA, California (AP) -- Two women were found dead in an oceanview cabin, their hands bound and black plastic garbage bags around their heads, one with a Halloween mask attached to it.

Hotel workers found the bodies lying side-by-side in a bed with black plastic garbage bags bound around the women's heads with duct tape.

Both women had their hands bound with tape as well, and one of them wore a grinning Halloween mask over the plastic bag, said Leonardo Flores, an employee who saw the bodies. Another feathered mask lay nearby, he said.

This is like something you would see in a slasher movie.

2. Suicide, not murder

3. Suicide? When both had their hands bound?

And their heads were covered with garbage bags?

4. Theory

The basic theory is this... they were in the closet lesbians going away to have sex for the weekend.

While doing kinky role playing eroto-asphyxiation one woman accidentally killed another.

Instead of having to confess of being a dyke and going down for 3rd degree murder, she killed herself.


Pretty sensible if you ask me.
