When the police arrived at a retirement community in Utah to conduct a welfare check last month, they were disturbed to find not only the body of the elderly woman who lived there, but a man's corpse tucked inside a deep freezer in her utility room. That man was eventually identified as Paul Mathers, who was 58 years old when he was last seen in 2009. He was the husband of the 75-year-old woman also found in the home, Jeanne Souron-Mathers. "I've been here 13 years — this is one of the strangest cases," Tooele City Police Department Sgt. Jeremy Hansen told news outlets, adding, "We've never had anything like this." He said police officers had opened Souron-Mathers' fridge and freezer hoping to find food that would indicate "some type of a timeline" for when she died. But when a detective opened a deep freezer in the utility room, he "immediately finds an unidentified deceased adult male in the freezer," Hansen said. The police made the discovery on November 22 and initially called the incident "very suspicious." But after several weeks of investigating, the police announced on Monday that they'd found several equally bizarre clues that might help explain the incident. Poster Comment: WTF? Didn't this woman know that as a spouse of a deceased Veteran she could receive benefits also? https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/survivor-benefits-spouses-children-deceased-veterans-service-members.html Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

Why bother with all the VA paperwork?
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
I don't know about it. I never was in the service. But I know a guy that broke his hip and he now has a Titanium rod from his hip to his knee, all courtesy of the VA. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
