“On Saturday, June 22nd, at approximately 7:00 am Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office responded to a single-vehicle accident on I-90 eastbound near the Highway 42 Exit in Olmsted County. The driver of the vehicle, identified as Margo Lewis, a 32-year-old female of an unknown residence, was out of the vehicle and being tended to by a passerby. In checking to see if anyone else was in the vehicle, a deceased individual, a 35-year-old female, was located in the back seat,” says a Facebook post by the Olmsted County, Minnesota Sheriff’s Office. No mention there if the responding deputy is currently about eight months pregnant and wife to a renowned duck stamp painter or former Duluth cop turned US postman. But it gets a heck more interesting, so read on why dontcha…

“The condition of the deceased was suspicious, and it was immediately apparent that the death was not a result of the motor vehicle accident. The name of the deceased will be withheld until Next-of-Kin notifications are made. Ms Lewis was transported by Mayo Clinic Ambulance Service to the hospital, where she was medically cleared. Ms Lewis was then transported to the Adult Detention Center and placed under arrest for Interference with a Dead Body. Ms Lewis is expected to make an appearance in court on this case on Tuesday. Minnesota State Patrol, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Eyota Fire Department, and Mayo Clinic Ambulance Service assisted with the initial call. As this is an ongoing investigation, no further information can be released at this time. Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office extends sincere condolences to the friends and family of the deceased.”

Ohhhh gee… Seems we got us another mysterious murder that’s taking up best the first 10 minutes of a season opener. Heck, we haven’t even gotten to see if Margo or the deceased – or even the both them – is a wife of that constitutional sheriff fella in North Dakota. And betcha the VIN number on the vehicle is worth a check to see if it’s been nicked from a lot. Gee, this is gonna be a mess.
