Suicide Note leads New Orleans Police to Dismembered Body

>>NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A note found on the body of a suicide jumper led police to a French Quarter apartment where they found his girlfriend's charred head in a pot on the stove, her arms and legs in the oven and her torso in the refrigerator, a law enforcement officer said Wednesday. New Orleans Police spokesmen confirmed that a 26-year-old woman was found dismembered Tuesday night in her apartment above a voodoo shop. Details from the kitchen were released by a law enforcement officer close to the investigation who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity and unidentified officials who spoke to the Times-Picayune newspaper and WWL-TV. A woman who identified herself as Priestess Miriam in the Voodoo Spiritual Temple and Cultural Center below the apartment said Wednesday that the couple had recently moved in. ``You see people and never know what's going on with them,'' the woman said. Police said the 28-year-old man leaped from the seventh-floor of the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel in the French Quarter on Tuesday night. When officers checked his pockets, they found the note, which led them to the apartment and the woman's body. Officer Garry Flot confirmed the body was dismembered but released no other details. Police and the coroner's office declined to release the identities of the couple, saying family members had not yet been notified.<<

If it was in Arkansas, based upon past practices this would be ruled suicide :)

Can't think of much of anything to add to this story to make it any more gruesome.

How someone can be that sick.....

He apparently took the expression "get brain" literally.

At least he took out the garbage.

(It's ok: I'm referring to HIM as the garbage.)

I guess someone who is thrown out and has no place to go .

Beyond that, I am partly reminded of Gary Heidnik of Philadelphia Now that was gruesome .

More than likely, this was his crude clumsy attempt of trying to dispose of- or hide the body .

A woman who identified herself as Priestess Miriam in the Voodoo Spiritual
Temple and Cultural Center below the apartment said Wednesday that the
couple had recently moved in.
``You see people and never know what's going on with them,''
the woman said.


If you need a psychic/fortune-teller, don't bother with voodoo priestess!
At least not Priestess Miriam!

Well, let us say he was the direct inspiration for that character Jame Gumb in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS .

I won't go into the details ~

Jeffrey Dahmer's neighbors had no idea what he was doing either . . .

Yup, just like it's hilarious when you see a sign at a hotel saying "Psychics Convention Here." If they really were, they wouldn't need the sign. They'd just know.
