There Was a Murder!
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
There was a murder in my front yard. The neighbors saw it but the police weren't called. The best detectives in the world couldn't find a body.

could have been a gathering of crows the collective noun for a group of crows is " a Murder"
I like dark-princes answer much better!
Good thinking dark prince
I think there is a simular one to this... nice spin of it though...
I know teasers are supposed to be misleading.. but a murder is technically a person killing a person (or the collective term for a group of crows) not an animal killing a different species of animal.
Excepting the term "meat is murder" I think that it's the wrong word to be using here (across species and all).
Perhaps the term "killing" would be misleading but not as literally flawed.
Or maybe I should just not be so pedantic >_

While the murder can be argued, it would sound to suspicous worded "A killing occured in my front yard". Anyways, it was quite easy, I got it right away.
I thought it was a murder of crows.
i thought that a cat killed and ate a mouse.
funny, good one, thanks
I got the picture of ol' Sylvester finally catching Tweety!
ha ha! I was thinking a a fish died... so the family through it out the window... and then a cat came and ate.
a murder of crows could be possible
there are millions of possibilites
this has too many possibilities to what could have happened. does anyone agree?
