I'm rusty on ENT stuff, but I think brain murder via sinus infection is really really rare. You're fine. Probably

It almost makes it worse. 999/1000 you're fine, but pull out one nose hair and get unlucky and welp.

“About two months before Utah college student MacKenzie Lueck went missing, the man now suspected of her murder asked a local contractor to build a soundproof room in his home with hooks drilled into concrete walls and a secret entrance with [an electronic thumbprint] lock, the contractor claims. ‘Honestly? I don’t know what he wanted it for,’ contractor Brian Wolf told ABC News’ Salt Lake City affiliate KTVX of suspect Ayoola Ajayi, 31. ‘But my gut was not normal. I mean, who needs a room with a thumb locks and hooks? In my opinion it was for something bad.’

I feel like there should be a hotline for reporting murder rooms if you think you’ve been contracted to build one. I mean, pre-crime and all, but this seems like it should have been a red flag of some kind.

The FBI has a less anonymous line where you can give them a tip and most local police departments do as well. They may or may not actually do anything but you can call the authorities and go "look, I don't have any proof of any wrongdoing but this thing makes me really loving suspicious." Granted in the case of locked, soundproof rooms like that it might not be a murder room and might just be a sound studio. I've met musicians that have found buildings with old vaults that predate thumb locks but have other heavy duty locks as well as thick walls and soundproofing. That makes a really good recording studio. Proper hardware isn't exactly cheap so it can be easy to get security-minded about it.

pookel posted:The hooks would make them raise their eyebrows though, surely? I think the key thing is that clearly the guy was designing the room to secretly keep something in it, it wasn't a room that could've even been used for any type of real activity like recording or kinky sex stuff. The size is important, the article says it was about the size of a walk-in closet. So you can't really do anything in there other than store stuff, and so what would you need to store that requires soundproofing and hooks set into the walls with concrete?

Maybe it's just that criminals are dumb, but I think if I was a criminal, I wouldn't ask a whole team of people to build my crime scenes, according to documented blue prints and other stuff. That's why they killed everyone who knew the secret rooms in the Red Keep!

Theoretically even if you hire a contractor to renovate you have to file plans with somebody at the city or county, right? That could be your hotline. Doesn’t help if the guy does the work himself, obviously, but it’s a start. Pick posted:Kinksters like that are going to do something hosed up eventually, they're mentally ill and can go to hell.

But I think in general you only need that if it effects a structural component, the ground footprint or the water tightness of the building.

Local municipalities vary from "whatever nobody cares just don't break anything on somebody else's property" to "you need these forms signed in triplicate to hang up new curtains" so it depends on where you are.

On top of that, there's also the who you know factor. Location might be a hardass to everyone else, but if it's Mayor's cousin, they get a pass.

pookel posted:I mean, a small room with inset hooks in the walls is exactly what some people need for kinky activities, though. I'm not saying it seems harmless, just that it's not enough to prove someone's planning to murder anyone, because it's easily explained away with "we're into some weird poo poo and REALLY don't want anyone walking in on us." Like, walk-in closet sized though? I've seen a lot of walk-in closets and sure it's bigger than a regular closet but it doesn't seem to me that there's enough space in there to do anything but store stuff(or in this case, keep someone locked up).

Obligatory mention of 'The Devil in the White City'. Come for the descriptions of the horrific yet banal cold-blooded murder of women and children alike, stay for the descriptions of the construction of the World's Fair. Sure, I'm curious about whether Holmes will be caught when he tries to sell the bones of both mother and child to a local school, but I'm more intrigued by the idea that the Ferris Wheel might not be built on time for the grand opening with the Mayor, and on such unstable soil! Will the Pygmies cause havoc before the big show? Will the exotic swans escape the confines of the lake??

Fascinating historically and a pervasive sense of dread at all the mistakes being made, but easier to handle since it wasn't about a ghoulish murderhouse guy.
