Alexis went around and couldn't find the trunk key which she knew was on the key that started the engine. She asked the security guardt to call and see if they could get a locksmith to open the trunk door. He had one so the owner, Alexis and the security guard went back to the front and the security guard, Within a couple of minutes the trunk popped open and there was a body plus blood all over the trunk. Alexis screamed the un godliest scream and covered her mouth thinking I'm going to get sick. By then most of the bidders and buyers had left.
The guard called the county sheriff's office and the police was on their way. The local police arrived first and took the three people who opened the trunk onto the patio and asked everyone else in back if they didn't have anymore business there to please the scene. The cashier,Jack, his soon to be brother in law and the estate lawyer stayed as part of the auction crew and witnesses to the trunk being opened during the bidding of the car..Even the new owner verified when he bidded on the car the trunk was opened.
The coronor's office was the last to arrive and the coronor told the deputies that the murder had happened during the sale. He had been stabbed sixteen times and the murderer had to have his blood all over him. The police department recognized the body as Mr. Henry Wilson's son Billy who had disappeared awhile back.
