Rodney's Birthday

Rodney's 45th birthday is coming up, and his wife Jennifer wants to plan something special for him, but he must not suspect anything ahead of time. She wants it to be a complete surprise, something he will never see coming (even though he really should, Rodney is ever so unobservant). What could she do? Jennifer is very cautious and always prepared, never caught without a backup plan. She thinks about the situation for a few days before coming up with a solution. Then she spends the next few days planning... Everything must be perfect... When the big day finally arrives Jennifer is ready. Everything has been prepared. Knowing that Rodney will be coming home from work any minute, Jennifer is lying in wait, ready. She has been waiting for a long time. Jennifer hears the key in the door and tenses, this is it. Rodney walks in the door and closes it behind him. Jennifer takes aim and shoots him. Then she carefully takes him down to the basement and drowns him. Finally, being ever so careful to make sure it is done right and that no mistakes are made, she hangs Rodney from the basement rafters. After Jennifer is finished with the deed, she goes upstairs, showers, changes, and takes Rodney out for his birthday dinner.

A riddle without a single question mark in it. Tough.

Maybe she shot a photo, rather than a bullet. Although that means a rather awkward subject switch.

If towr is on the right track, her actions in the basement could describe the process of manually developing a photograph. --SMQ

But that is the beauty of a what happened riddle... Different story, different situation, new people, all for the same answer. Finding new pathways to the same result, seeing if we can still identify them.
