And to think…Alanis Morissette once thought rain on a wedding day was ironic! This crazy story started back in 1992 when the cook from a restaurant called The Green Parrot was murdered. Later, the other workers in the restaurant had gathered together at The Green Parrot to watch an episode of America’s Most Wanted that profiled the suspect wanted for the murder of their co-worker.
During the show, a different segment came on profiling another criminal who was wanted on child molestation charges. The employees started joking around that the guy resembled their cook (the NEW cook who had replaced their murdered co-worker). The more they watched, the more they realized that it WAS him! (Don’t worry; he wasn’t watching with them.)
They quickly sprang to action and called the authorities, who took some time to arrive. While they waited, they stalled the new cook (who had just gotten off duty) and offered to buy him a beer while he filled out some unnecessary paperwork. When the police finally arrived, he was arrested without incident. People involved described the whole turn of events as a "one in a million" type scenario.
