• For simplicity, let’s assuming this is your country, in some random rural area
  • The dead person has a kitchen knife plunged into their chest, blood is still fresh
  • The dead person is a random stanger, you’ve never met them, they are just a random average (non-famous) person
  • There is no one else in the house
  • You have a tiny bit of blood on your clothes, but not a lot, you are unsure of whose blood it is
  • You have no injuries
  • You were never drugged or anything, you just happen to mysteriously, spontaneously get teleported there, while sleeping. You went to sleep on your bed and just woke up only to find yourself in this scenario. (Bloodtests will show nothing)
  • You wake up right in the morning, at sunrise
  • There is electricity and running water, small amounts of food in the refrigerator, enough for maybe a day
  • You don’t have any items with you, not your phone, nothing beside the clothes you slept with (if any). There are clothing in this house belonging to the dead person
  • There only electronics devices (besides appliances) in the house is the dead person’s smartphone, in their pockets (no lockscreen codes or anything), and a laptop (no password). This house has wifi.
  • This house does not have any security cameras.
  • There is a car in the driveway, belonging to the dead person. No other vehicles, no bikes or anything like that.
  • Nobody (yet) knows this person is dead. They live alone.

So, would you think that you did the murder, and just turn yourself in; or assume someone set you up and try to escape? How would you escape this scenario and avoid prison?

Remember, this is a rural area, not that many cameras.

So do you make a run for it? How?

Or do you just call the authorities and hope you don’t get charged with the murder? Very awkward interrogation tho, nobody would believe you. I doubt “I don’t remember how I got there” is a strong defence.

What is your “game plan”?

    Contact my fiancée, then the cops, then find myself a lawyer and spend the rest of my time absolutely shitting my pants

    Fiancée first, because she’s my highest priority in all things and the dead guy ain’t getting deader. Then the cops, because to contact a lawyer first looks incredibly suspicious and I live in a civilised country where there is almost no police corruption and I wouldn’t have cops trying to pin it on me out of convenience. The other reason I’d contact my fiancée first is that she’s the smartest person I have ever known, and she would be straight onto organising shit to help
