A woman's mother passes. At the graveside services she meets a guy. They fall instantly in love. They were talking for awhile, when some family members came up to give their condolences she turned to talk to them. When she turned back around he was gone. She forgot to ask him his name. She tried to find him, even looked in the funeral registry but couldn't find him. A week later she offed her sister.
Why did she off her sister?
I had to use different words to get it to post
