CURIOUS GEORGE CO-AUTHOR SLAIN

First a body found on Big Birds property, and now this gruesome little tidbit:

Two held in Curious George co-author’s death

From the article:

ORLANDO, Fla. - Two men have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Alan J. Shalleck, 76, who co-wrote “Curious George” books and helped bring the very curious little monkey to television.

Shalleck’s bloodied body was discovered Tuesday under a pile of plastic garbage bags in a driveway at Royal Manor Estates by a maintenance supervisor who went to haul away what appeared to be a pile of trash, police said.

The body may have been in the driveway for more than a day. Crime scene investigators found stab wounds and, once inside the home, several pools of blood leading to the master bathroom which was splattered with blood. Investigators found several knives and broken glass in the house.

The guys confessed. It was some robbery. Just awful.
