Headless body in fish tank leaves neighbors fearing worst for San Francisco eccentric

[muriel_volestrangler]

When police announced on Tuesday that they had found a headless corpse in a fish tank in the San Francisco home of the former bartender Brian Egg, it seemed to confirm the worst suspicions of his neighbor, Scot Free.
...
Egg, 65, an eccentric neighborhood “curmudgeon” who regularly walked his dog and watered trees in the urban alleyway where he lived, had been conspicuously absent all summer. But Free said several shady-looking men had been around his home, cleaning frantically with chemicals that smelled like bleach, using so much water that it poured out from under the front door and into the street.
...
But their concern only increased on 14 August, when a white van pulled up, marked as a biohazard crime scene cleanup vehicle from a company called Aftermath Services. A strange man stood outside the home to meet it. Free and his neighbors dialed 911 to get the police.
…
Police announced they had arrested two men, who neighbors said had been seen at the home. One of them, Lance Silva, 39, was charged in court documents with using Egg’s credit card to order the crime scene cleanup van and to buy a used BMW for $5,000 back in June.
