Dateline Wisconsin: A smashed-up PS2 case was found today near the home of Ben Heckendorn. Local authorities say it was probably thrown into a nearby recycling bin but fell out.

“The strange thing is that no game system guts were found inside” the local coroner was quoted as saying “Since we ruled the death of the PS2 as ‘questionable’ we of course ordered an autopsy and much to our surprise it was empty. Truly bizarre.”

Police are not willing to speculate on exactly what is going on but fuel was thrown on the proverbial rumor fire when a smashed-up Lithium-Ion battery case was also found near the scene.

“A gutted new-style PS2 case and a gutted battery case? I just don’t get it.” a prominent local detective felt he could admit on the record, “I’ve seen some strange stuff in my career but this takes the cake like a 4-year-old having a sugar rush on their birthday.”

We will try to stay on top of this story as it develops. Stay tuned!
