GOOCHONLINE - Since 1999

Chance took a chance

By now you've heard that Charles Richard Chance, or "Rick from Empire Glass" (pictured top left and in center checking into motel with a stripper, Asian chick at right) was found dead with a gunshot wound to the chest in a motel where he checked in with a stripper in order to sell jewelry he had made himself.

In a GoochOnline.com exclusive, we have just learned that the missing briefcase believed to be full of jewels was in fact filled with free-dinner coupons for local area restaurants.

Stripper Brandi Lynn Hungerford, 25, was arrested at a Shari's restaurant in Tacoma as she requested free meals for herself and a friend, Robert Donald Lemke (also a stripper).

"It's a classic tale..." says Sgt. William Moore with the Tacoma Police Department, "...a tale of murder, missing jewels, a dead millionaire, a stripper, free dinner tickets, bad commercials, and an apathetic public. Pretty textbook, really."
