I will find a city, find myself a city to live in.
One of our local doctors (not someone I knew) was found dead in a chimney a few days ago. Internist Jacquelyn Kotarac was apparently trying to break into her boyfriend’s house and opted to do so via chimney. Her body was found some time later when the lady who came over to feed the owner’s fish discovered a stench and “fluids” dripping into the fireplace.
The homeowner/boyfriend speaks:
Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac was a very intelligent, attractive woman and a gifted doctor, estranged boyfriend William Moodie said.
… “She was absolutely brilliant as a doctor,” he said.
… Moodie declined to talk about his relationship with Kotarac or what their status was as a couple when she showed up that night.
But he’s tired of people saying negative things about her and said it’s time to leave her alone.
I have nothing negative or positive to say about a woman I never knew, not even by reputation. I will say that this story is so far out there, I doubt we’ll ever know the truth of what she thought she was doing or why she did it. I’ll file this as a Great Mystery.
For the record, though, Bakersfield would prefer to be known for its Basque restaurants and Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace.
Oh, and don’t worry about me and Bakersfield’s record-setting ozone and particulate pollution. Got my lungs tested last week and I’m just fine.
D.
You know the comedian George Wallace? His shtick is that people do stupid things. To me, that’s what this story sounds like. Whatever the reason is for why she chose the chimney, it’s still stupid. AND no matter how intelligent you are, when your emotions take over, you’re capable of just about any stupid act.
I was going to comment yesterday but then I got all grossed out.
Yeah, the stench and dripping fluids? Ugh.
Just all around awful if you ask me.
