What’s this world coming to? It’s not safe to go into a message parlor anymore,…..
No happy ending can come from a sticky, messy situation that keeps getting too difficult to clean up.
Why is a massage place open at 4:37AM?
So people can come when they want.
One guess! Key word is “massage”
Does that justify the robbery?
yeah
They should also check surveillance video across the street. Perhaps they dined at Don Coqui before or after the crime took place.
