43 Times Police Officers Were Not Prepared For What They Saw In Someone’s Home

Less creepy but more of a surprise. Get a call for a burglary. I'm doing a walk through with the resident noting all missing and damaged property. He was an older guy. We are in the bedroom looking in drawers. I open one and see it full of women's panties and bras. I ask him when his wife will be home to help identify missing items. He stutters a little bit and finally says, "Uhhh those are mine." I just closed the drawer and went on with my investigation. We are all a little weird bro. Far be it from me to judge you for wearing pretty underwear.

This may be a bit off the post. My friend is a police officer. They got a call one night from a 4 yr old that dad was hurt. When they got to said address the small child answered the door. As they head inside they hear a woman calling out "in here" .
They approach the bedroom to find mom tied to the bed dressed as scantily like Wonder Woman. Dad is knocked out cold as Super Man . Apparently Dad jumped on the bed forgot about the ceiling fan and knocked himself out cold.
My friend said it was the funniest ,craziest thing he ever saw. Woman had to scream to wake up the child to call the cops.

My very first dead guy had been in his house for almost a week during a very hot July with no A/C...

Did you know that your skin will become clear and you can see EVERYTHING? He popped when the funeral home came to get him. Yes, popped. Some people, they're not bothered by this. Me? No no no. I don't have the stomach. This is the only part of the job that bothers me.

My dad answered a domestic call at an apartment on the 23rd floor. As soon as he walked in he saw blood *everywhere*. In pools on the floor, spatter on the walls and ceiling, smeared all over everything. He walked further in to find a woman crumpled on the floor, battered beyond recognition, and the partner is standing in front of an open window. My dad started to talk to the man, to coax him into coming with, and the man immediately turned around and stepped out the window, falling 70m to his death.

Edit: Yes she survived.

Miscarriage. Late term. Mom went nuts, house covered in blood.

My aunt is a police dispatcher. Normally she takes calls from the public and has an officer nearby respond. But one day she was asked to work the station's radio because the normal guy was sick. That meant she was acting as the central hub of the police radio network, taking calls from officers in the field and issuing backup to them, that kind of thing.

She wound up having to listen to four cops talking back and forth in a panic as two squad cars arrived to check on a reported m****r (The person who called was certain that there were multiple k**lers present). The victim's meat had been cut into one-inch cubes, as if their k****r was going to fry them up, or make kebabs. The whole crops had been disassembled like that. Bones cut into neat inch segments, organs removed, separated, organized. She remembers one of the officers panicked and screamed something along the lines of "This is OCD movie monster b******t."

I can't remember the exact quote sadly, and I doubt my aunt remembers it herself. She thought they were playing a joke on her until they called for a hazmat crew to get the body.

Not me but a friend. He and his partner was at the time working in a smallish town, so most calls was regarding s******s or elderly people. This day they check up on an apartment of an elderly, which they presume is dead due to the horrible smell. In cases like this they would take turns in who would be the one going in to check on things, and this time it was my friends partner. 5 minutes after going in he comes out with a shocked look on his face, completely wet and covered in all kinds of nasty fluids. When he went in it had been completely dark, so he probed around trying to find the light. Suddenly he slips in a pool of something, and when he landed, he knew the worst had happened. He slipped in fluids of a corpse and landed "in" it so to say, getting submerged in a completely rotting human corpse. Bad day at work i'd say.

My mother used to work for a police department, and I'd hang out there when I'd be home sick from school. This old man used to walk to the gas station on the corner to get a pack of smokes and coffee every day. The gas station attendant called for a wellness check when she realized she hadn't seem him for a couple weeks in the dead of summer. Cops went, knocked, smelled something, opened the door, walked in, instantly came back out vomiting from the smell. They had to come back later with respirators, trash bags, and snow shovels to clean up the sludge that used to be the old man.

Another officer almost quit his first night on the job. Really bad accident, guy shows up, the one car has no one in it at all. He's looking around, guy isn't on the ground anywhere. He tried to figure out if maybe the guy walked away, so goes to look inside for some identification. Finds the guy. He hit so hard that he slammed up under and into the dashboard, and was just a broken sack of bones stuffed in around the steering column and other parts.

Friend is a cop: Wellness check called in. Went in - smelled horrible - and discovered a large dead guy, shirtless, sitting in his front room, in a lawn chair watching TV. He had setup an industrial space heater behind his chair, which was on at full blast. Due to the heat, and apparently other factors he had "merged" through the back of that lawn chair.

I used to volunteer with my local PD. Nothing will beat the old lady who passed away in her house and her little dog ate her face. Literally just the skin from the jaw line to the hair line and from ear to ear. It left the eyeballs in the sockets. Just a skeleton in a lady suit, doing the 1000 yard stare.

Bathtub of dead rats in a share house of illegal workers. They'd leave traps and poison out and when they caught the rat they added it to the pile. Whole house was disgusting.

Not a cop. But one of my best friends is a CSI.
Dead children because of carbon monoxide poisoning.
He says that's the worst he's seen. Grandma was hugging the corpses thinking they were just sleeping.

Friend of a cop here. He told me about how him and his buddy went to search in an apartment. They looked around and his buddy finally called him over. A guy was just ... in an oven. Dead of course, but in an oven. When the guys tried to pull him out of the oven all the contents and gas of the dead guy fell right out. A few of the guys vomited and gagged.

Creepiest: A dead guy. But not just your average dead guy. This guy died on his couch, surrounded by no less than 1500 Miller Lite cans. Plus, he had no friends or family. None. He was retired and his electric bill was auto deducted from his checking account. He died, on his couch, and no one realized it for 5 months. When we found him, the top (front really, because he was on his back) was completely skeletonized. But the bottom (or back, against the couch) was still meaty and rotting. The half skeleton was kinda creepy. But its really creepy and sad that this guy left this world and it didnt affect anyone. Just gone and forgotten.



Funniest: Respond ro a burglary. Going through the house with the homeowners, a young married couple, documenting damage and loss. Step in to the bedroom. Theres a red vibrator on the floor. They look at it, I look at it, and then we look at each other. Spend the next 5 minutes with locked eye contact talking about the broken window, missing jewelery, missing TV, etc. Everyone refusing to look at, discuss, ir acknowledge the vibrator. And then on to the living room.


Oh. There was alsothe dead fat lady with the pug that started eating her a*****e.

Me dad is part of CSI and tells me odd stories every day as he comes home. A heavily obese hoarder was living in her apartment, everything filled head to toe with rotting food, wrappers and p**s. She held the common decency to use her s**t covered toilet and did so, but on that particular day it wasn't just a good 'ol number 2, it was also a baby that had been rotting inside of her for months. The poor creature fell out of her in chunks and its limbs just kinda exploded all around the toilet. A nice baby soup that had to be fished out of a toilet by 2 officers and seemed to have shaken them up for a day.

I'm not a cop but a paramedic. Went into a ladies house one time, can't remember what the call was for, that had sheets of paper taped all over the walls. They all said something along the lines of "remember the voices aren't real". Gave me a warm safe feeling.

Super late to this but I'll post anyway. We went to an apartment which was a local d**g den. A female we knew called and said the male renter had been assaulted and she had run. We got there and the door was bolted shut. I kicked the door over and over again and it wouldn't open. What I found out later is the dope team had done a search warrant on the apartment a couple weeks earlier and afterward the tenants had reinforced the door jamb with a metal plate. It took me a total of 22 times kicking the door before I broke the deadbolt in half which flew across the room and hit the wall. We made entry; guns drawn and started clearing the apartment.

This place was the kind of spooky I have only seen in places where a lot of M**h is done. It was dark, there were swastikas, 666, upside down pentagrams, etc painted on the wall, pictures of faces hung on the wall with the eyes X'd out and baby dolls with their eyes scratched out into X's. As we cleared the first room we started seeing the blood. First on the bed, then a trail on the floor leading into the back room. The layout was weird; one main room, then a back room which was more of a hallway and a bathroom at the end of that hall. We followed the trail of blood down the hall to the bathroom door. In front of the door was the renters dog which was shaking uncontrollably and pissing all over the floor, scared out of its mind. As we got closer the dog got really aggressive because it was scared.

I made my way around the dog and entered the bathroom where I found the renter hunched over in the shower, bleeding from his face, holding his cheeks with his hands. He was frantically trying to talk, pleading with us not to hurt his dog. Blood was dripping from his mouth and I couldn't understand him. Then I saw the extend of what had happened to him. His jaw had been dislocated on both sides when he was beat by 2 men with a hammer and it was just hanging there. As he was trying to plead with us he could only attempt to talk by flicking his blood covered tongue in the pattern of the words because his jaw didn't work at all.

Edit: grammar.

Taking this law class, my professor brings in a cop to talk about points of law, at one point the cop shows the class a picture of a man who committed s*****e by gun, "can you see what colour his eyes are?" He asked, of course noone can and after sine dumb stares the cop says "blew, one blew this way, the other blew that way", the whole class groans and I raised my hand, "obviously you have thicker skin about this sort of thing then we do, have you ever seen anything that got to you?"

The cop got serious looking and then told us this story, a local family, two brothers, both young, every Saturday morning the older brother would get up early and make toast and both he and his younger brother would suit in front of the TV, munch some toast and watch Saturday morning cartoons.

This one Saturday the older brother didn't want to get up and make toast, so the younger brother decided to try it himself, he apparently went into the kitchen, put the bread in and pulled the switch down, he didn't notice how close the toaster was to the kitchen window curtains, to make a long story short, the house caught fire and the parents barely made it out alive with the oldest son, by the time the police officer arrived the younger boy was dead, burned to death in the living room.

The officer said he must have set the toaster and went into the living room to watch TV and wait for his older brother to wake up and join him, the officer said the window nearby had collapsed from the heat and melted around the little boy, the cop said he had two boys about their age at that time, said he had to excuse himself from the scene, went to his squad car and couldn't stop crying and shaking, as the cop told the story I'm class, he started crying again.

Crazy sad cop story and I made a cop cry.

I know I'm late to the show, but during a search a s*x offender's house, I found a room that looked like a little girl's room. In the closet I found a 4ft doll in a pink dress. He had no kids and was in his late 50s.

My brother is a cop. He told me about this time when they responded to a work place accident where a railyard worker had been crushed between two railcars. The guy had been crushed/pressed into the ladder of one of the cars. They kept hearing voices coming from the body. Muffled voices but definitely coming from the body. It took them a while to figure out the worker had been carrying a radio. Needless to say they were a bit disturbed until they reached that conclusion.
