I was sent to Durham to check out a pedestrian death in Durham tonight. The victim was hit in the parking lot of a Buy Quick Food Mart. The driver fled the scene, and there is no description of the car or the driver. I arrived at the scene just in time to see the body-bag being zipped up as police nonchalantly took down the tape and cleaned up. There was a smell of sulfur and bleach. The corpse was loaded into a van and the scene was cleared as fast as it was caused. I waited around in the cold for a moment, grabbing a last bit of b-roll before I headed back to the station. A car pulled up and after the quick errand in the store, the driver and passenger took a moment to discuss what happened. I was able to hear some "a man just died there" and some laughter as they waved goodbye at the bleached and shiny wet portion of the parking lot that minutes earlier was occupied by the body of an innocent person.
