"The state has custody of the finger, but we don't have a body." Gotta love a story that starts off with a severed
finger.A man's severed ring finger by the bathroom sink, a misery-filled farewell note threatening death by drowning and a taped monologue lamenting a failed marriage — Galveston County authorities felt certain the evidence in a Port Bolivar motel room pointed to suicide. An abandoned, bloodstained kayak bobbing in the Gulf of Mexico supported the scenario.
But there was one crucial problem: After three weeks of investigation, no one had found a body.
It doesn't sound like they're ever going to find out what happened to this guy.
