A girl called the police and said her father was under the floor: when the officers started removing the floorboards, they found something terrible š±š±
A strange and alarming call came into the local police station.
āHelloā¦ā sobbed a thin voice of a girl about eight years old. āPlease helpā¦ my dad is under the floorā¦ā
The duty officer frowned and exchanged glances with his colleague.
āUnder the floor? Girl, can you pass the phone to your mom or dad?ā
āDad hasnāt been home for days. And mom doesnāt believe me, she says Iām making it up. But I know heās under the floor. He told me himself.ā
āWaitā¦,ā said the man, adopting a more serious tone. āHow did he tell you if heās not home?ā
āI saw him in a dream,ā whispered the girl. āHe said he went far awayā¦ and is lying under the floorā¦ā
At first, the police laughed, thinking the child had psychological problems and were about to pass the case to social services. But something in her voice ā her desperate sincerity ā made them take the call seriously.
āWeāll check just in case,ā said one of the officers. āWhat if itās trueā¦ā
When they arrived at the address, they were greeted by the girlās mother ā a neat, slightly nervous woman of about forty. She was surprised by the visit but let them in. The girl stood silently beside her, clutching her teddy bear tightly, and pointed to a spot by the living room wall. Right under the new laminate flooring.
The police decided to dig at the spot the girl indicated, and what they found shocked everyone š±š± Continued in the first comment šš
āWhere is your husband?ā the police first asked.
āOn a business trip,ā the woman answered quickly. āIn another cityā¦ I think inā¦ Serbia. Or Slovenia. I donāt remember exactly. He travels a lot.ā
āCan you call him?ā
āHis phone is dead,ā she stammered. āProbablyā¦ā
While one officer tried unsuccessfully to reach the husband, another questioned the neighbors. No one had seen the man for over a week.
He hadnāt gone to work or contacted anyone. No airline had any flights registered under his name.
When the police said they wanted to open part of the floor, the mother became nervous.
āWe just finished renovating! Do you know how much it cost? Who will pay for the damage?!ā
āIf we find nothing, the insurance will cover everything,ā the senior officer answered dryly.
They began removing the boards at the spot the girl pointed to.
After a few minutes, a scream was heard. One officer jumped back sharply, dropping his crowbar. In the silence, like thunder from a clear sky, it was heard:
āWe foundā¦ a body.ā
Under the floor, they extracted a manās body. Wrapped in construction plastic, partially covered with expanding foam and concrete. Almost no signs of struggle. Apparently, he died from a single strong blow to the temple.
Later, the examination confirmed everything. During an argument, the woman struck her husband with a heavy object. Realizing he was dead, she decided to hide the crime, taking advantage of the renovation work in the house.
The workers thought she just asked to āfill the floor a bit deeper.ā No one suspected anything.
And the girlā¦ The girl really saw her father in a dream. He came to her, smiled sadly, and said:
āTell them. I am under the floor. I am close. Donāt be afraid.ā
And she told.
