Woman Drove Around with Dead Body for Months

Police have launched an investigation after discovering that a Southern California woman drove around for months with a homeless woman's mummified body in her passenger seat.

Costa Mesa police said Thursday they discovered the body after receiving a call about a car that was blocking a driveway.

Sgt. Ed Everett says officers noticed a stench from the car and found the body covered in a blanket.

He says the woman who drives the car told police she let the homeless woman sleep in her car and one morning found she had died inside.

The driver was afraid to contact police.

Everett tells The Orange County Register the remains were partially mummified and could have been in the car anywhere from three to 10 months.

There are no signs of foul play.

Yup, I agree. Aside from the smell it's a free ticket to the carpool lane.

What if a homeless guy had been found with a woman in her shopping cart? I wonder if there would have been any "signs" of "foul play".

[igutierslcc]

that very scenario is can be considered foul play.

These type of mental cases are coming toward you on two lane highways and city streets. The mental health for the public is in a sorry state.I understand that we have enough public benefits already ,yet I feel one of the most important and widely avoided is mental health other than prison.I also belive there are some people who need walls and some need killed swiftly but justly.

"REALITY POLICE", written by Anthony Brandt, (page 16) as I say, the test is crud. It consists for the most part of a few simple questions. Can you tell me what year it is? Your Name? Who is the president of the United States? Do you know who I am? Do you know where you are? Do you know why you are here?(Do you live in the same world we live in?)
And if it was any more complicated our Politicians, and Police, could not pass it for they live in a fantasy world. I would question if ouchitatom could even pass the above, Reality Test. Killing someone because he is mentally ill, does this person live in year 1692, is he attending The Salem witch trials? or is he working in a NAZI Death Camp in 1943?
