Watson said Wednesday that believes Bratcher was motivated by money and was collecting her mother's Social Security checks.

its what mom would have wanted....

I’m not sure if having a death certificate filed triggers end of pensions though.

They are usually filed with Social Security.

Not a bad strategy. Soylent Green is likely right around the corner, and in beta testing by the WEF.

[Vermont Lt]

Funeral homes will usually update social security. I don’t know if the county clerks (in my state) would update the database.

I know I had to inform the OPM and MA state teachers pensions for my mom.

Grab-backs suck when there is only a little money left and the person dies at the end of the month.

[Deaf and Discerning]

Ok. So, she buys a freezer big enough for her Mom, and the delivery guys drop it off in the garage. Was it an upright or a chest freezer? Wouldn’t she need to hire help to drag the body from the house to the garage, then lift her into the chest or shove her into the upright? If yes, wouldn’t the helper also be charged?

[Not_Who_U_Think]

I knew a highly compensated government employee who kept cashing his late dad’s social security checks for two years.

I just can’t understand how they think they will get away it. At some point, the jig is up.

That’s one way to prevent COVID!

I think this is the guy:

Andrew Ramos Education

Andrew attended and graduated from William Paterson University of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications and Media Studies.

Supposedly born and raised in Passaic NJ. The source (https://hustleinboots.com/andrew-ramos/) mentions siblings but there is no information about his parents, so it sounds like he was either an anchor baby or he has made up his past. At least the part that is available to a quick online search. He went to work for Tribune Media in the New York area and moved to Chicago and works for the local CBS affiliate. Not sure how that turns into a byline for the Trib, but anyway.....

You could tell that he is not rom Chicago because he refers to the building as having 3 stories, immediately before a quote from somebody about "the three flat". He probably puts ketchup on hot dogs and raves about how great NY pizza is.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Immediately thought “social security fraud” to keep collecting mom’s SS - and obviously other money, too.

[Larry Lucido]

That’s horrible. The freezer life of a body is a year, tops.

[Billthedrill]

Wouldn’t she need to hire help to drag the body from the house to the garage, then lift her into the chest or shove her into the upright?

Chainsaw.

[right way right]

I have a backhoe…

> “She was telling different neighbors different stories,”

Rule #1: Keep the story simple, and keep it straight. Don’t say different things to different people.

[Larry Lucido]

A good bandsaw is important, too.

[Red Badger]

And a handsaw........................

Saying “mother” is hurtful to non-birthing persons.

[Fresh Wind]

Sort of like hippie guru Ira Einhorn, who claimed to be the founder of Earth Day. He killed his girlfriend but put her body in a trunk instead of a freezer, and his neighbors complained about the odor. DemocRAT/RINO Arlen Specter got him out on bail, and he fled to Europe. He was eventually located after 20 years, and spent the last 18 years of his life in jail.

Aren't liberals wonderful?
