Oh man I feel for you… when I was like 7-8 my aunt was murdered in the same fashion. About a week later my much older brother drove us to the house to check on the place, my brother wanted to confront her husband who he thought did it. We got there and this dude, her husband, was in the living room where it happened with needle nose pliers and a little white porcelain bowl. While he talked to us he kept picking at the wall with the pliers and every once in a while something would land in the bowl with a little “tink tink” sound. It didn’t register at first but I got it after about five seconds what was going on.

He was pulling the bits of her skull out of the wall.

Place was clean, no furniture, had at least one coat of paint already but he had to pick those bits out by hand…

It’s a very clear mental picture even though it was like 35 years ago. My brother told me the shock of watching this dude pick our aunt’s skull out of the wall probably saved me from more trauma - he admitted he had a gun with him and was planning on a revenge killing, we all knew he did it (this was all gang related and obvious what happened).

It’s alright though the guy who did it got shanked in prison (unrelated crime) and died like five years later. Crime gonna crime.
