Well, where would you expect her to store it? A hoarder doesn't just throw away something as valuable as that

“Mmmmph!”

Wife “discovers” mummified remains of her husband in closet after he’d gone missing for eight months. The Daily Mail and other “legitimate” (hahahaha) news outlets have edited their original coverage to eliminate this detail, but here at FWIW we have no such compassion when it comes to black humor, so:

Police initially searched the Maedge property for Richard, finding no trace of him, the outlet continued. Madison County’s chief deputy coroner, Kelly Rogers, said that police described the couple’s property as a “hoarder home.” While there, they reportedly picked up on a “sewer-like” odor.

Aficionados of this kind of story may remember the case of Dorian Corey, the drag queen who killed his abusive boyfriend sometime around 1978 and kept his mummified corpse in their shared apartment, where it remained undiscovered until Dorian’s own death in 1993. There was no mention of Mr. Corey ever bringing the mummy to Kindergarten drag shows on Halloween to entertain the children, but if he were alive today, I’m sure that would be an annual highlight.
