Mr Duckie

In Loving Memory of Mr. Duckie

2000 to 2012

A duck in all his glory

By Nancy Grace Duck

Mr. Duckie was born on May 28, 2000, to Kay Mart in Sioux City. He was adopted shortly after his birth by Michael and Lynn Buth of Danbury and spent countless hours bobbing around with his swimming buddies, including the Buth children.  Mr. Duckie immensely enjoyed his life in the pool. He spent his winters in the snow, sometimes going to the garage.  He loved basking in the sun.

But on August 19, 2012 the lives of Mr. Duckie's family and friends was changed forever when was mowed down in his prime. According to the police report it was described as the most gruesome scene this investigator has ever seen.  The investigator reported seeing pieces of yellow duckie rubber everywhere, strewn up to 5 feet away from the main portion of the body.

In the report Mr. Duckie’s cause of death was intentional acute poisoning by chlorine from the pool water. There were also trace amounts of quackamphetamine found in his feathers, which could only have been injected to him. Two sting wounds were found on Mr. Duckie’s mangled rubber parts. Dr. Quack has concluded that Mr. Duckie died instantly from the poisoning and was duckceased before the lawnmower cut him up.

At this time, Lynn Buth does not appear to be a suspect. Her distraught and quacked-out attitude is believed to be genuine. The report identifies the suspects as Mr. Waspie and Mr. Waspo.

But in further investigation this reporter found evidence of fowl play with the investigation. First, in tracing the police report we note it has come from an email address belonging to Lynn Buth and originated from her defense attorney, Julie Hamann.  Second, a witness, not mentioned in this police report, said his mom came in the house and admitted she killed the duck.  She did not look distraught at that time.

We have found Mr. Waspie and Mr. Waspo, who are in hiding because they heard Lynn purchased some new cans of Raid.  They insist their innocence and told us a completely different account of what happened.  As they were buzzing around the back yard they saw Lynn pushing the mower back and forth many time chasing down Mr. Duckie. One of them thought they heard he yell "Die Duckie Die".  They say he was a brave duck and saved his fellow friends. 

And in a twist, which was totally predictable to this reporter, the defense attorney is planning on using the old defense "if the rubber doesn't fit, you must acquit"

The FBDI (Federal Bureau of Duckie Investigation) has now taken over the investigation.

Stay tuned for more details.
