Minor details not mentioned

I won't give real names out of respect, but this happened in my town a few years ago, and it still makes me uncomfortable to remember it.
A woman was reported missing after not showing up for work for three days straight. It wasn't like her. She lived alone, had a strict routine, and always let someone know when she was going to be absent. The police searched her house and found no signs of violence. The door was locked, the bed made, her cell phone on the table.
The case quickly went cold.
The strange thing was a detail that almost no one mentioned: the oven clock. It was exactly 47 minutes fast. No one could explain why.
Months later, a technician inspecting the building for a gas leak found human remains in the utility space between two apartments. The body was so decomposed that it was impossible to determine the exact cause of death. The case was closed as an accident.
But when the police reconstructed the timeline, they realized something disturbing: the last time the oven had been used coincided with the actual time of death… not the time shown on the clock.
Someone had changed the time afterward.
The person who did it was never found.
And that detail never appeared in a final report.
