Today's Blind Items - The Murders

This unsolved double homicide has attracted the attention of many, and none more than this well-regarded investigative journalist. One day, the journalist received a phone call from one of his reliable sources. The source had new information that would require the journalist to travel to this foreign country. The journalist promptly booked a flight and rental car for the next day. Upon landing in the country, the journalist was denied entry at customs, provided no explanation for the reason, and was immediately ordered to return to his home country. Back home, the journalist contacted his source, who said not to be alarmed, that his information was credible, and that his denial of entry at the border was likely unrelated or a misunderstanding.

Three months later, the source contacted the journalist again. This time, it was from the airport in the foreign country. The source said that he and his wife were flying to the country to vacation when they too were denied entry, despite both sharing a dual passport with the country. Concerned for their safety, and their status as dual citizens, the source said that he would speak to the embassy immediately on their return home.

A few days later, the journalist called his source to receive an update. The journalist called multiple times, but the phone kept on going to the source's voicemail. On the fifth try, the source picked up the phone. When probed by the journalist on the source's visit to the embassy, the status of his passport, and his denial of entry to the country, his source, in an uncharacteristically soft and quivering voice, said that he had no idea what he was talking about and immediately ended the call.
