I Guess Earl Had to Die...

A woman dying of cancer confessed to her daughter that she killed her husband years earlier and hid the body, authorities said this week after finding the remains inside a storage unit.

About 14 years ago, the woman had apparently begun telling her children that their father had been killed in a car accident, according to Middlesex District Attorney Martha Coakley and Geraldine Kelley's sister, Tami DiMarzio.

"She told me he took off in the car and last she heard he had an accident, that he was hit by a truck or something," DiMarzio told WBZ-TV.

The woman's daughter told police about the confession, and they found the man's remains Thursday at a Somerville storage facility inside an unplugged freezer that was locked and sealed with duct tape, Coakley said.

The woman had shipped the freezer, with the body inside, from California six years ago, when she moved to Massachusetts, Coakley said.

An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause and approximate date of death.

"She believes she was a victim of domestic violence," Coakley said. "Whether that is accurate, we just have no idea at this time."

He went for a "swim" in the lake.

Yes.

Furthermore there two CSI's were on just yesterday, (one was the new episode and one was a repeat on SpikeTV), where bodies were stuffed into a Public Storage Unit.

Now this, and I can't help but wonder how often storage facilities are used to house murdered and/or butchered bodies.
