The deathbed confession of a woman to her daughter reveals that she killed her husband 14 years ago when they lived in California, stuck him in the freezer, and had him shipped cross-country when she[relocated to Massachusetts](http://www.boston.com/dailynews/323/region/Deathbed_confession_Woman_kill:.shtml) six years ago. :eek: ---

I’m guessing that by the time of the murder, the marriage’s passions had cooled. ---

There’s something a little whiffy about this case. I dunno…it just doesn’t smell right to me. ---

What kind of storage facility was this, anyway? The story says the freezer was locked (that won’t seal a freezer) and “sealed” with duct tape (no way it’ll be airtight). _And it sat for 6 frigging years with no notice of a smell???_ It wasn’t plugged in, so there was 6 years minimum of rotting human flesh, _and nobody noticed!_ :smack: 😕 :eek: :wally :smack: This stinks. ---

This probably isn’t a good candidate for those “What can Brown do for YOU?” commercials. ---

Thanks to CSI and the internet, I now have a pretty good idea of what the inside of that freezer looks like. Ugh. ---

I’m seeing a new niche opening up for Ziploc brand body bags. Specially designed to keep odors in and freezer burn out. ---
