Hey there Twitterverse! So, I’ve got this burning question on my mind and I need your input. Remember that childhood friend of mine who tragically passed away not too long ago? Well, she randomly called me out of the blue asking for pliers just a week before she went missing. Strange, right?
I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now I can’t shake the feeling that I should share this info with the police. The thing is, her death was ruled as an overdose, but rumors are swirling about foul play. Should I spill the beans? Or keep quiet?
What do you think? Cast your vote in the poll below and let’s hash it out together. Your thoughts could really help me figure out what to do next. Thanks in advance for your help, guys! 💭🕵️♀️🤔

If you want to share this information you should inform a criminal defense attorney who can offer it on your behalf. What you say to them is privileged, what you say to the cops is not. There’s no benefit to you directly talking to the police.
Get a lawyer don’t talk to police without one
As everyone has said, don’t talk to the police without a lawyer. At the same time if they were interested in you they would have contacted you since you were on her phone records.
I probably wouldn’t bother to contact the police over this. It’s unlikely that the information will be helpful to them. If they think it’s an OD, and they don’t think there was foul play they probably aren’t seriously investigating. They will note your call in a file somewhere, but likely won’t do anything with it.
As for hiring an attorney – that’s always good advice any time you are dealing with the cops, but my guess is that if you talk to a local criminal defense lawyer they will tell you not to report this at all. It’s unlikely to help the police and is a non-zero risk for you.
