http://articles.latimes.com/2012/sep/18/local/la-me-restaurateur-20120919<snip>
David Viens walked into his living room and panicked. He discovered that he had accidentally killed his wife, he said, and wanted to get rid of her body.
The chef said he thought of how easily he disposed of grease in his restaurant. So, he said, he stuffed his wife's body, face-down, into a drum of boiling water and cooked it. For four days.
Viens has pleaded not guilty to killing his wife, Dawn, who was 39 when she vanished in October 2009. In 2011, after Viens learned investigators suspected that he had played a role in her disappearance, he leaped off an 80-foot cliff in Rancho Palos Verdes feet first, arms raised, screaming.
David Viens said he packed his wife's 105-pound body into a heavy container and used weights to keep it submerged in the bubbling water.
"I just slowly cooked it and I ended up cooking her for four days," he said.

He taped her mouth and bound her hands and feet, Viens told investigators. He said he had done that at least twice before to prevent her from "driving around wasted, whacked out on coke and drinking."
Then Viens fell asleep.
The next morning, "I woke up. I panicked," he said.
"Why why did you panic?" Garcia asked.
"She was hard," Viens said.

Is he crazy? A psychopath? Stupid?
