Ann looked outside the window of her apartment and saw a man in the building across the street straddle a woman on a couch, stab her in the chest, clean up the blood, and take her money. It was the third woman Ann had seen this man do this to, and the man did not see Ann, but she still did not call the police... why???

Unlikely , but maybe she was an accomplice to the crime.

Ann was a portrait.

[Guest]

she saw it on a TV show, or video, on a TV in the apartment across the street

Or, maybe she was a dog, cat, or other animal.

She couldn't talk

Ann could see more retakes of the movie/advertisement, if she keep watching out of window.

Camera !!! Lights !!! Action !!!

Why would you call the police to report someone saving lives? I'm guessing he was stabbing them in the heart with adrenaline (like in Pulp Fiction) to stop them from overdosing

[Guest]

statman's answer could be an answer but thats was not what i was looking for....

[Guest]

She lives next to a theater and she is seeing one of the scenes play over and over every night.

[Guest]

My first thought was something like accupuncture although thinking about it I'm not so convinced.

I agree that a lot of the other thoughts seem plausible.

[Guest]

it is not theatre or advertising etc....it is in real life...real situation

[Guest]

u all are coming up with great answers...great going...i hadnt thought abt it in this way.....

[grey cells]

If she had to call the police , i.e. , the only choice is calling up , then maybe she was dumb .

[Guest]

she didnt like those women so she just didnt want to call the police or she hired the man.

[Guest]

the topic is Murder? it is a question..it neednt be the answer

Maybe he was a doctor , giving an injection.

The man is a doctor performing operations.

[Guest]

performing operations on a couch? I don't want to go to your guys' doctor...lol

maybe she does not have a phone or she is an invalid in a hospital herself and does not have the means to communicate

[Guest]

no..he wasnt a doctor...but this might fit in actually....but not what i am looking for...

[Guest]

does he have a job to kill people instead of them commiting suicide?

no...in the question it is written that the woman was the third one whom Ann saw... ur answer hence doesnt fit in then

[Guest]

does he have a job to kill people instead of them commiting suicide?

not at all...

[Guest]

he is a professional... (just like a doctor) not a doctor though and definitely not a killer

[Guest]

he's a cop and hes killing all the people that had to do with a crime?

[Guest]

he's a cop and hes killing all the people that had to do with a crime?

definitely not....and at the same place ? 3 different people? no..sorry

[Guest]

ok what im thinking is that he never killed the people, but why?

[Guest]
