Freezer/BodyBack
[Published: Saturday September 17 2016]

Woman 'sells freezer containing mother's body'
North Carolina, US 17 Sep (ANA) - A woman has been arrested in North Carolina after her mother's body was discovered in a freezer she sold at a yard sale.  Marcella Jean Lee, 56, was charged with concealing and failure to report a death, more than three months after selling the chest freezer to her neighbour for $30. Ms Lee had told her neighbour not to open the appliance when she sold it to her in May, saying it was being used as a time capsule and that church members would come by at some point to collect the contents inside. However, the neighbour opened it up later to find the body of Arma Roush, the 75-year-old mother of Ms Lee, whom police had been looking for since the discovery. She was detained about 100 miles south of the city of Goldsboro, where her mother's remains were found. Lee is now being held at New Hanover county jail under a $50,000 bond, Fox 8 reported.
A post mortem examination showed no signs of foul play regarding Ms Roush's death. The pensioner had been living with her daughter and was last seen alive in August 2015.(ANA)
