Purvey Dicklock
From Plastic Tub
The careful student of the macabre will remember that the same kind of death later befell Richard Lancelyn Green. Found on his bed almost a year later, Green's death, despite his insistence in months prior that he was being watched by a mysterious American, was ruled a suicide. In the Dicklock case, the police were adamant: this was a murder; a murder, we may add, that remains unsolved to this day. Dicklock was a bachelor who made a good living at his chosen posession. A keen fly-fisherman and collector of toy bicycles, he was not known to have any enemies. A rather reserved, heavyset fellow, his only known social outlet was the rather improbably named Light of Sirius Lodge #27, Freeville, KY, a Freemasonic body of regular standing. In 2006, Dicklock's family filed suit against the Iagoville Police Department over leaked photographs showing smiling deputies giving the thumbs-up sign of the deceased man's naked, bloated corpse.
