A girl called the police and said her father was under the floor: when the officers started removing the floorboards, they found something terrible đ±đ±
A strange and alarming call came into the local police station.
âHelloâŠâ sobbed a thin voice of a girl about eight years old. âPlease help⊠my dad is under the floorâŠâ
The duty officer frowned and exchanged glances with his colleague.
âUnder the floor? Girl, can you pass the phone to your mom or dad?â
âDad hasnât been home for days. And mom doesnât believe me, she says Iâm making it up. But I know heâs under the floor. He told me himself.â
âWaitâŠ,â said the man, adopting a more serious tone. âHow did he tell you if heâs not home?â
âI saw him in a dream,â whispered the girl. âHe said he went far away⊠and is lying under the floorâŠâ
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 â her desperate sincerity â made them take the call seriously.
âWeâll check just in case,â said one of the officers. âWhat if itâs trueâŠâ
When they arrived at the address, they were greeted by the girlâs mother â 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 đ±đ±Â Continued in the first comment đđ
âWhere is your husband?â the police first asked.
âOn a business trip,â the woman answered quickly. âIn another city⊠I think in⊠Serbia. Or Slovenia. I donât remember exactly. He travels a lot.â
âCan you call him?â
âHis phone is dead,â she stammered. âProbablyâŠâ
While one officer tried unsuccessfully to reach the husband, another questioned the neighbors. No one had seen the man for over a week.
He hadnât 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.
âWe just finished renovating! Do you know how much it cost? Who will pay for the damage?!â
âIf we find nothing, the insurance will cover everything,â 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:
âWe found⊠a body.â
Under the floor, they extracted a manâs 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 âfill the floor a bit deeper.â No one suspected anything.
And the girl⊠The girl really saw her father in a dream. He came to her, smiled sadly, and said:
âTell them. I am under the floor. I am close. Donât be afraid.â
And she told.
