Yeah...no foul play here. None at all.

[Rain Man]

Umm...is there nothing here that seems a little suspicious? He was found in a storage space in his ex-wife's home. It seems like that might arouse a hint of suspicion, though I admit it's odd that she eventually reported the body. Was he perhaps peeping and got stuck? I can't come up with a good story of an accidental death here.

And how do the renters live in a house for a year and not smell a dead body? I'm guessing this was not a high-end rental home.

(CNN) -- An Alaska man missing for more than a year was found dead in his home on Monday, according to Anchorage Police. The home had been occupied by renters for nearly a year, but they apparently had no idea the body was in the home, police said.

Samuel E. McAlpine, 37, was last seen March 17, 2013, when he told his mother he was going on a date.

McAlpine's sister reported him missing 12 days later, Anchorage Police spokeswoman Dani Myren said.

Family members weren't initially concerned, because he "frequently disappears for weeks at a time" said an e-mail sent by police in August asking for the public's help in finding McAlpine.

McAlpine was going through a divorce at the time and had moved out of the home he shared with his now ex-wife, Myren said. "They were unable to sell the home, so she rented it out to tenants."

Those tenants moved in to the McAlpine home around April 1, 2013, and recently moved out.

Myren said McAlpine's ex-wife, Christine, detected a foul odor when she came to clean and show the apartment to potential new tenants.

She discovered her ex-husband's body in a small storage space under the stairs.

Attempts to reach her Wednesday were unsuccessful.

Police, who do not suspect foul play, think McAlpine died before the tenants moved in.

Myren said drugs and alcohol are believed to have played a role, and an autopsy is pending.

The Alaska State Medical Examiner's Office does not release cause and manner of death to the public.

Do you think we go straight into the crack story line, or do we start them off eating marijuana users and work our way up?

Cannabis lupus?

He probably has his equipment for keeping an eye on the Russians in that little closet, and the Ruskies prolly got him.

This is where I would need creative help. Would marijuana-user-eating wolves eventually start eating crack-using people, or would they just hang around and become herbivores? We need to keep this believable.

Dude, they can't grow marijuana in Alaska. That stuff grows in like Mexico, Thaliland, and Chillicothe.

Let's just go straight to the crack.

I agree. Plus it gives us a splashy opening scene. I'm envisioning a messy, low-end rental house with several crack addicts and crack ho's sitting around. They hear something outside and suspect cops. As one of them stands at the window, "POW!" A wolf flies through it and grabs him by the neck, flinging him around like a rag doll. I suspect that wolves will prefer eating the heads first because they probably contain more crack. The rest of the pack then follows the leader through the broken window and pandemonium ensues.

Oh yes we can. Matenuska valley used to be famous for it, something to do with the whole 24hr daylight thing. It's legal, err decriminalized, to grow it up here so hydroponics is everywhere.

I don't partake in it (cdl holder) but used to, I assure you the shittiest weed here puts the lower 48's best to shame.

And wolves don't eat it? I need to know for plot development reasons.

Good start, maybe after the opening attack flashback and focus on the first attack when the wolves discovered crack heads. Maybe it started with a crackhead that had a pet wolf, the wolf pet starts licking the mirror or whatever crackheads use, and wigs out. The crack wolf drags his owners carcass out to the wild pack in the woods or something.

First a wolf eats a pot head and then all aggression goes from his bones. He's relegated to a life of sofa lounging and hunting for Dorito's.
