When police were called to make sure a Utah woman was OK, officers found her dead and her husband's body inside a freezer.

Jeanne Souron-Mathers was found dead last week at her Tooele City apartment. A maintenance worker who was concerned about her well-being called police, saying he had not seen the 75-year-old woman for about two weeks, police said.

As a detective searched the apartment for any clues about Souron-Mather's death, he discovered a man's body inside a chest freezer, Tooele City police said in a statement Monday.



quote:

The man was the woman's husband, Paul Edward Mathers, 69, police said. "At this time, foul play is suspected and the case is in the early stages of investigation," police said.

The man's body was "fully intact" and police believe he could have been inside the deep freezer for at least a year and a half, but possibly up to a maximum of 11 years. It's unclear how authorities determined that time frame.

The cause of death for both has not yet been determined.

Police say they are looking into Mathers' financial records, including his Veteran Affairs and Social Security checks, in hopes to determine where the payments were sent and whether they ever stopped


The ole "put the dead spouse in the freezer and keep collecting government checks" trick.

Foul play for both, or just the man?

There's a frigid air hovering over this case. I don't have a good feeling.

They say the husband was 69. If they do figure out he's been in the freezer for 11 years, will his death certificate say he was 58 years old?

Only a woman could keep up this scam/secret for that many years.

What a chilling account of possible homicide.

I am intrigued to see how this story thaws out.

That’s crazy the possible time frame is 1.5-11 years. I guess this guy had no other family or had dropped off the grid if he did
