Attempts to Mask the Truth

Police also found items around the home like Febreze, candles, and Glade plug-ins that they say were used to mask the smell of the dead body.

The body was discovered only after the home’s owner and ex-husband of the accused woman noticed a foul odor. He lived in the basement of the home and mentioned to authorities that he hadn’t seen the dead woman for weeks.

Autopsy Reveals Little, Decomposition Tells More

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office did an autopsy but was unable to find the cause of death. They noted that the woman had not been taking her prescribed medications.

Due to the level of decomposition, authorities estimate that the woman had been dead for between one and two months.

Facing Charges in Minnesota

According to MNCrime.com, the woman has been charged with interference with a dead body, a crime that could send her to jail for up to 3 years and hit her with a $5,000 fine.
