Waldo Dead Aged 61


A murder most foul it's been called in City of Industry, CA. Monday as authorities try to sort out the events that unfolded over the weekend. Wally Wanderclue, also known as Waldo of children's book fame was found dead this week in his 80,000 Sq Ft. Mansion Sunday night. Wally was an inspiration for many children's eye puzzlers over the years. "At first we didn't know what we were looking at." said veteran homicide detective Stephan Cochrane, "The room was a convoluted, the clutter of misplaced objects permeated every inch of the residence. In one corner there seemed to be an Egyptian theme, we could see obelisks, sarcophagi and Jackal figurines. In another area we observed a pirate motif, with things like Jolly Roger flags, eye patches and the like were stacked to the rafters. Then I saw it. At first I thought it was a clever dummy. Upon further inspection the image was unmistakable, that bespectacled glassy-eyed gaze, and beanie hat, add to that the trademark red and white striped shirt, now stained with blood. It was Waldo". The police say that Wanderclue was beloved by all, so finding suspects will be hard due to lack of motive. However it did appear to be robbery according to CIPD. Another mystery due to be solved will be with regards to Wanderclues estate. "Where's Waldo Jr.? Cochrane questioned. The 15 year detective said that Wally did indeed have an estranged love-child. The result of a fling with him and a travelling carney. Despite his relative popularity, Wanderclue was a solitary man with few friends, a social recluse that was hard to spot at a party, or social gathering and/or panoramic photo op with random seemingly inordinate groupings of color-coordinated objects and people. Regardless, one thing is clear, the mystery is sure to thicken. We all know Where's Waldo now. Heaven...that's right heaven!!!
