REDMOND — A body was found in a crashed van Monday on a wooded hill in Redmond, and police said it could have been there weeks or even months.
Realtors working in the area found the wreckage and body near Redmond Ridge Drive NE and Novelty Hill Road. The body of a man — identified as Kary L. Klismer — was found in the van, the King County Sheriff’s Office said.
According to the officer at the scene, Mr. Klismer was using his iPhone to view a property on the Zillow RE site when he lost control of his vehicle. “Had he instead been using Redfin, he might still be alive today,” said the officer.

RE: Blurtman @ 1 – Hilarious! But you’re about three weeks early with this post!
In the Google satellite view of the location (imagery copyrighted 2013, whatever that means) you can see a real estate sign up on the berm right near where the van was found.

I Miss Kary
Even his legal mumbo jumbo wasn’t that off base IMO, don’t all attorneys talk that way? Besides, Kary was getting brainwashed by us bubbleheads to start communicating a lot clearer…I do think we were influencing him for the better :-)

Whew – that’s a relief.
I was afraid Kary took a ride in a spaceship…with the tall man.

The deficit isn’t a problem. that’s why the dollar hasn’t crashed and gold hasn’t soared.
