Just when you think you have heard it all, along comes a bizarre and rather creepy news report that leaves you shaking your head and wondering WTF is wrong with some people.
When Costa Mesa, California police officers were recently dispatched to investigate a vehicle blocking a driveway, they smelled a nasty stench coming from the car and observed what appeared to be a foot sticking out from under blankets in the front passenger seat. Officers quickly broke the car window to get inside and made the awesome discovery of a box of baking soda and mummified body that was several months old.
The driver of the vehicle was located and initially denied knowledge of the corpse. She later fessed up to the authorities that she had befriended a homeless woman back in December of 2009 and had allowed the transient to sleep in her car. She went on to further explain that the homeless woman had mysteriously died of an unknown cause.
But rather than report the death to the police, the wackadoodle woman decided it would be better to drive around with a stinking and rotting corpse propped up beside her in the car for an estimated ten months before being discovered.
An autopsy conducted on the body showed no obvious signs of foul play but the actual cause of death of the homeless woman is yet to be determined. Surprisingly the driver of the vehicle has NOT been arrested and investigators are currently deciding what if any charges will be filed against the mad mummy chauffeur.
Kind of sick and twisted isn’t it?...
Happy Halloween my lovelies and watch out for those scary ghosts, goblins and mummies!

Well obviously she did it for carpool lane reasons. I'm just sayin'... that commute can be a bitch.

WOW. Wackadoodle is right. Who in their right mind would want to smell that while driving??? Or at all, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love best about the article however, was at the end when they stated they are "reviewing health and safety codes to determine if it's illegal to drive around with a corpse."
Um. Isn't it, like, illegal that she HID a corpse in her car and then tried to DENY that she knew about it when questioned?
This is a case for the nice men in white coats. :o)
@Simple Dude: My thoughts exactly ...or else she gets lonely and likes to have someone to talk to.
ReplyDelete---------------
@J.Day: Yes, a complete and utter nutter. Send her straight to the nut house!
So for 10 months, she never gave any of her friends a ride?
ReplyDeleteEwww why are all the weirdos in California? It makes us all look like wackos.

I read that about a week ago and was so disturbed. I mean...ew...the California summer was kinda rough this year...*shudders* Hed hed down under
ReplyDelete@Jeff: Weird huh? I'm guessing it would have been hard to explain her special friend...
ReplyDelete---------------
@The Adorkable Ditz: No need to feel guilty by association. This one is in a wackjob category all her very own!

@hed: Stink city for sure!
Heard about this too. What a crazy thing to do. The smell would have been horrendous. Although a good add for baking soda lol
ReplyDeleteat least she's got staying power for when she gets to continuously hug herself in that comfy white jacket

The things people do will never cease to keep my brain occupied. I completely couldn't believe it when I read she'd had the body in there for TEN MONTHS. I mean, a day or two because she's freaked out - sure I'll give that to her.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't even think to just drop the body off at a cemetary w/a note??
Some people. *rolls eyes*
@SimpleDude: LOL - Carpool, love it.
That's almost too weird to be true.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is HELL NO! I would have never been around a dead body and that is just gross! There is something very disturbing about this story!
ReplyDelete@Adorable - I was thinking the same thing. On behalf of Orange Countians who are not storing dead bodies in their car (at least not as far as I'm aware - perhaps that odor isn't my daughter's soccer bag), let me just say - sorry 'bout the bat shit crazy. And I thought the Real Housewives made us look bad!

As Homer Simpson would say, "Mmmmm homeless lady".
ReplyDelete@Mynx: That would make a great ad for baking soda! Love it!!
ReplyDelete---------------
@Kat: Isn't that the truth! Thanks for the blog love by the way.

@A Redhead Named Same: Maybe they SHOULD enact a law that says if a homeless person dies in your vehicle all you have to do is drop the body off at a cemetary with a note, no questions asked. The mummy chauffeur definitely has a few screws loose and a strong tolerance for nasty smells.

@Jumble Mash: I know right? But sadly it is true.
--------------
@SSW: One can only hope that the authorities will recommend that crazy lady for psychiatric evaluation cause something isn't right with her!
--------------
@PM Taylor: This story certainly gives the Real Housewives a run for their money!

@George Wells: Ha! Sick, but I love it! ; )
How sick! Going so far as to get the baking soda but never thinking of popping by a morgue...
ReplyDelete@Nat: And you know that baking soda really doesn't work all that well! ...I guess a trip to the morgue didn't make it on her 'to do' list.
ReplyDeleteThis is just brilliant....
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the way twisted minds work....
She must be seriously disturbed and she really needs help...
The police reaction is funny though..
@Uninspired Blogger: Yes, add this one to the totally weird files : )
ReplyDeleteThat's messed up!
ReplyDelete@Donda: And then some!
ReplyDeletelol, why would you ever do that?!
ReplyDeleteStill, I suppose it is better than a car-alarm. Nobody would ever steal that car!!
So what exactly makes a body 'mummified'? Dictionary.com says that a dead body is embalmed and then dried. Did she wrap the homeless woman up in gauze? Does this bitch work at a mortuary? I'm confused. Nice touch with the baking soda, though.
ReplyDeleteMaybe better to drive with her than with husbands. At least there would be no arguing about the directions then.
ReplyDelete@DarrenK: I think you are on to something there. The latest and greatest anti-theft system!
ReplyDelete----------------
@Mrs. Hyde: The police said the body weighed about 30lbs and was all skin and bones. Maybe the crazy bitch sprinkled the corpse with baking soda and dried her the f*ck out! ; )

@Madame DeFarge: Ha! Definitely no opportunity for complaints there.
She’s definitely an Almond. Or maybe a Cashew. A humanoid doll would have worked just as well for what she had in mind, only without the whole decomposing thing.
ReplyDelete@Drake Sigar: I'm thinking a crusty old peanut!
