What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

I'll explain since this is very, very random.

As usual I was watching true crime.  I often pay little attention but this one got real weird and I had to watch.  Guy kills mother, father, and young son in a family.  Young teen daughter is not accounted for.  After some super-sleuthing the cops think they have figured out who it is...details of how that happened escape me as the other stuff took over in my brain.  Cops enter the guys house and find in a living room an area that is sort of fenced off and is filled with leaves...think a ball pit but with leaves.  Yeah, the officers said that's a new one.  They go through the house and find rooms that are 'decorated' with grocery bags full of leaves.  Hundreds of bags lined up in neat rows and covering the entire wall as well as windows.  Yep, that's a headscratcher.

In the basement they find the young teen girl that was missing...remember her...I told you that you start straying from the murders and now known kidnapping.

She was laying on a bed of leaves...actually the basement floor was about two feet deep in leaves.  Though she had been sexually assaulted, she was ultimately okay physically.

It gets more twisted.

He murdered the three people mentioned above, dismantled them and put the body parts into a hollow tree that he was particularly fond of.  He was feeding the tree.

You can't make stuff like this up.  And how does someone become so enamored of trees that it gets to this level?

This was a new one on me.
The twisted minds of plot writers... Though there is a science fiction book named, "Integral Trees" based on their resemblance to the integral signs in calculus. They bury their dead in a pit where they rot, and "feed it to the tree".
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
