LITTLE ROCK – Authorities remain stumped by a mystery note shoved under the front door of local resident Carl Hader earlier this morning. Investigating officers cannot decide whether the anonymous message, which contains such phrases as “I melt when you smile,” “I am always watching you,” and “I want to hold your still-beating, bloody heart in my hands,” is menacing, or just about the most romantic thing ever.

Hader, the prospective love interest/murder victim in this unfolding story, claims he doesn’t care which he ends up being, and that “it’s so exciting! Just like in the movies!”

The detective in charge of the case, Sgt. Frank Foster, agrees, adding that regardless of whether the coming days lead to passionate love scenes or gore-strewn violence, he is confident the result will be “of a nature unsuitable for witnesses under the age of 17.”
