Still Waiting For Info About The Body At 2222 4th St. N.

Maybe the powers-that-be are waiting until after Christmas to announce whatever sure-to-be-macabre findings they have, but in the meantime...

...residents of North Minneapolis, particularly the Hawthorne neighborhood, are waiting to hear the autopsy results and identity of the dead female, age unknown, found in the crappy little "carriage house" garage behind 2222 4th St. N.

Maybe this story has fallen off the mental radar screen for most of the Twin Cities, but for those who live near the scene the incident is still very much a concern, particularly if there is a murder suspect who needs to be apprehended. Folks speculated the dead individual may have been a transient, which seemed like a plausible enough theory.

Unfortunately, all we have to go on at this point are old media reports and a few ghastly rumors published to the comment threads of an earlier blog post here at Johnny Northside, as the Minneapolis Crime blog recently noted.

Well, the comment thread of this blog post is open, pending only approval of me, the blogmeister. If you have info you want to share--dark confessions burdening your soul, etcetera--feel free to spill. Gee, I'd sure like to know what other ugly, run-down properties might be owned by Mr. Khan.

I'd love to be able to search the Minneapolis property records using his name as a search term, but of course the website is clunky and you can't search that way...at least, regular citizens can't. One hears rumors city officials have more search options, but aren't sharing those privileges with us, the unwashed masses.

Sigh. We wait. A frozen body turns up days ago, and still we wait to find out if the cause of death was cold-blooded murder or just...the cold.
