Dead In A Ditch

Wayne Capelli was 43 in 2013. He stocked shelves at the Super Fresh supermarket in Claymont, Delaware, and rented a room in the first block of Fourth Avenue in the Overlook Colony neighbourhood, where he lived with his ten-year-old daughter. details of the account remain covered until revealed the rest of this account is covered until you choose to reveal it He worked a second shift and walked the little under a mile to and from the shop.

On the evening of 15 February 2013 he left work at nine and never arrived home. Arlene had offered to fetch him because it was so cold, but he said he would walk. She telephoned 911 that night; the police treated him as an adult who might simply have gone out. Two days later, on 17 February, a man walking his dog at about eight in the morning found the body 15 feet off the road beside a tree, off the 2100 block of Delaware Avenue in Silvercroft, Wilmington. Capelli had blood on his hands and deep gashes to the top and side of his head, and his wallet, cash and driving licence were still on him. Investigators first supposed a hit and run, but blood spatter on a utility pole and the absence of defensive wounds suggested a beating. A quarter of a mile away, in a creek, they found a cracked 34-inch white aluminium Louisville Slugger TPS CVL softball bat carrying a reddish substance that DNA matched to Capelli. The cause of death was blunt force trauma. The beating was personal.

A search of his room turned up a $360,000 life insurance policy taken out about two months earlier, a large sum for a man in his position. this part of the story is covered for now details of the account remain covered until revealed the rest of this account is covered until you choose to reveal it Supermarket video showed a green car circling the car park, and the same car appeared near the crime scene, with a large sticker in its back window as its most distinctive feature. this part of the story is covered for now
