HUSBAND MISSING

In a small town in Louisiana, a woman reported to the police that she was extremely worried because her husband had not returned home one night. The police made some enquiries and when, after a few days, the husband had still not shown up, they set up a search party. An extensive search of the area proved fruitless and, after a week, the case was left unsolved. A week later, however, the local water authority received an influx of reports from residents complaining that their tap water had an extremely foul odour and taste to it. The water authority investigated the complaints and traced the problem to a water tower on the outskirts of town. On draining the water tower, they discovered a body that had been weighed down with rocks. The body was identified as the woman's husband.
