New Mexico parking attendants ticket vehicle with dead body 3 times
New Mexico parking attendants ticketed an illegally parked rental SUV three times without noticing the arm of a dead person hanging out of the rear door of the vehicle. One attendant admitted having seen the arm once but thought it was someone working on the vehicle. "The arm didn't look dead to me," he told no one in particular.
Police found the body of a 47 year-old individual in the rear of the vehicle on Nov. 11. The dead person had been reported missing since Nov. 4.
An Albuquerque police spokeswoman, who was unauthorized to speak, said the death appeared to be the result of an accident, a suicide, or murder and the police have closed the investigation. Instead, focus has shifted to the parking attendants who are suspected of being stoned most of the time. But officials said the failure to discover the corpse earlier was no big deal because death had occurred about two weeks previously. They said the attendants' job descriptions did not include the discovery of dead bodies and there are no criminal statutes for failure to notice dead bodies while working or at play.
The identities of the malfeasing parking attendants were withheld, out of concern they would be killed by family members, friends, former lovers or homicidal maniacs.
