 |  | Possibly stumbled onto a crime scene?
< on 5/30/2010 6:06 PM >
|  | | | A couple friends and I were exploring an abandoned truck stop motel by my house. There's no 'No Trespassing' signs and it's pretty much common knowledge that people go there and no one in the community cares. Cops don't bother to check it or even close the back door, which has been open for years.
We had a girl with us who had never gone to an abandoned building before, so we thought we'd start her easy on this place and ease her into the more restricted locations. Everyone else in our group had been here before and knew what to expect.
Except when we got there there was a bunch of stuff that wasn't usually present. This 'stuff' consisted of a mass of children's cloths in a room blocked off by a dresser outside the door. A dresser that took 4 of us to move.
There were old food wrappers on the floor and a corner of blankets and pillows with a Pooh Bear blanket.
We took pictures without going into the room and made an anonymous tip to the local PD and sealed up the room with the dresser again. Then we got the heck outa there.
Except I feel kinda sick about it now. I've been Urban Exploring for years and have never stumbled across more than drug paraphernalia and the occasional sleeping Squatter. I'm kinda soul-sick about possibly discovering a place where a child was kept in a run down abandoned building against its will.
Needless to say, the new girl refuses to ever come out with us again. In her argument she brought up that abandoned buildings in semi-urban areas is like asking for people to go there to do things like that. Now I disagree, as most places are at least driven by by the cops or have some other security measures. But I still feel a little shaken up by this latest find.
Has anyone else ever stumbled onto a possible crime scene in their explorations? What did you do? Did it turn you off exploring or did you just accept that humans suck and keep going? Did you ever return to the location?

| | | | Years ago we were in a humongo mansion with all this lovely oak furniture, regrettably before I became interested in photography.
We found a bunch of cool mail there including an invitation to the Presidential inauguration signed by GWB (!) and bank statements for multiple accounts some of which were in excess of 5 million. EVERYTHING was there, it was like she had just disappeared.
Anyway I'm getting onto a tangent. It soon became apparent that there was a squatter living in the house, and sure enough we eventually came upon his home. Clothes lay everywhere next to dirty baby diapers and a fucking REVOLVER. Shit. About this point a man at the bottom of the (lengthy) driveway saw us and quickly started up towards the house.
Needless to say we got the fuck out of Dodge, cutting a hasty retreat through the woods behind the house. I scanned the papers and internet for any news about it over the next few days, but never heard anything.. Soon after it was renovated and sold to a new owner.
So I don't know if it was a crime or not but definitely some hairy shit to be in

| | | | What makes this a "crime scene" ? What's the crime ?
Trespassing, squatting, minor damage, possible child endangerment ?
Although a squat is not the best place to try to raise a child, there are worse environments for children, IMO.
Nothing you've described strikes me as a crime I'd be too concerned with. The term "crime scene", IMO, implies a major crime such as armed robbery, murder, rape/sexual abuse etc.

But typically, raising a child, even in a squat, doesn't involve barricading a child in a room. Which is what I would have assumed stumbling into that, too...
It could be nothing, but something about it seems really wrong.
Adventure is out there. |

| | | | Well of course abandonments can be dangerous.
Over here, a homeless guy abducted a teenager, took her to an abandoned neighbourhood, then raped and murdered her. A few weeks after, in the same city, me and my friends walked in on another homeless guy.

| | | | The door being blocked off was what struck us as out of place first, but the myriad of childrens cloths, the sleeping space only designed for a child. Also, a tidbit I hadn't noticed, apparently on one of the pictures my friends took you can see a bottle of lubricant and a tube of 'glycerin suppositories' right next to the child's 'bed'. I was freaked out just from the door being blocked, but apparently the rest is what got HER attention. I don't know what will become of the building if something does prove to have gone down there, but really it was amazingly gross anyway. It really won't be much of a loss, and there are plenty of other places in this area to explore.

| | | | I'd follow up with the police, who cares about your "hobby" at this point.
IMO, what you described needs the police to review it before someone destroys the evidence, or torches the place.

| | | | two words I like to keep very separate - "child" and "lube" - makes my skin crawl. So far only drug paraphernalia and tons of "urban outdoorsmen" and other fucknuts in places I have been.

It's also a gun.

| | | | I know that must have been freaky BUT before we freak, keep in mind that if you get suppositories for children you have to, ahem, make them easier to take with lube. I'm not saying this isn't a crime in progress, I'm just saying don't overreact.
And, a gun being present doesn't makes someone a criminal.
Just FYI.

Glycerin suppositories are used for when you can't poop. I had to use them on my youngest when he was potty training. But still, in an abandonment, one never knows. Better to lose a location to overreaction than to let possible child abuse go unpunished. I think you did the right thing.

| | | | good for you for calling the cops.
people that do f'd up shit generally think 'abandoned' buildings are perfect places to carry out their f'd up shit.
years ago, the corpse of a newborn baby was discovered inside an abandoned building in my old neighborhood. i always think of that when i'm exploring.

Oh I know. But a rusty old revolver in a decrepit squat is suggestive

i think the encouraging thing here is the door was blocked off but room was empty...
either wish the person escaped or it was a set up scene.
