Preacher Arrested In Church After Wife's Body....

[dansamy]

The pastor of the church where he was speaking said he told her his wife had died in childbirth. The article mentions the wife having been missing for 3 years and that the children taken into the DHR system as being in range from 3-something-in-the-teens-but-I-don't-recall-the-number.

Logically, she could have died in childbirth 3 years ago, especially if she had a precipitous delivery at home and some complication arose. Now, what mental disease/defect would cause him to think it was ok to place her body in a freezer? Who knows?

I can just imagine the conversatoins he had during his revivals "Brother how is your wife?"

Answer "Well, she is suffering from a little cold".

I have always read that freezers are more efficient and use less electricity the more you have in them so maybe he was just trying to conserve energy and lower his electric bill.

(I also have a sneaking suspicion that when it all comes out some type of government checks she was receiving and he continued to receive after her death will have played a part even if she died of natural causes).

You are probably right and she could have died from childbirth and that's the reason he decided to store her!

Freezers are cheaper than funerals for sure!!

I wonder if any of the kids helped with cooking? What did they think was in the freezer? Oh we prepared a new meal tonight dad.....YIKES!!

I didn't even think of governmental assistance being a reason to hide her death, but that makes perfect sense. Abuse of the government's social welfare programs is really bad down here, with an entitlement mentality that "Uncle Sam owes me" being deeply ingrained.

CC1, that's one of your funniest to date!
"She's not feeling very well right now. In fact, she's out cold!"

Something Sean Connery/James Bond would say! LOL

As Alton Brown would no doubt point out, "the frozen body can act as a capacitor of sorts for regulating the temperature of the freezer in the same manner that a pizza oven regulates the heat in an oven."

Gee, I'm kind of surprised by some of these very tasteless jokes.
