31: Mel's Hole

Are you ready for the most bizarre true story you've ever heard? This is the case of Devin Williams.

Mel Waters had a bottomless hole on his property in Ellensburg, Washington where he and his neighbors threw away their garbage. But Mel's experiments with the hole and calls into the Coast to Coast AM about it gained interest from the public... and the government. Today's topic is Mel's hole.

Bill Sparkman was a professional man, leading a quiet life. So it was quite a shock to find Bill hanging by a noose in a clearing in a wooded area. He was naked. His hands and feet were bound with duct tape. He was gagged with a rag and tape was wrapped around the rag, encompassing his head. The thing that stuck out most in this scene however, were the big black letters written in marker on his chest that read, F E D. Bill worked for the federal census bureau, and unfortunately, part of Bill’s jurisdiction was in a very high crime area of Kentucky. You would assume by the scene that Bill fell victim to someone who didn’t think a federal agent needed to be anywhere on his property. However, this was not the case. Bill’s death was curiously ruled a suicide. This is the suspicious death of Bill Sparkman.
