D.A. to fight parole for ex-model who ate husband's body parts

[Blue_Tires]

The former model at the center of one of Orange County's most notorious murder cases will go before a state parole board Wednesday seeking her freedom two decades after she killed her husband, cooked his body parts and ate them.

The detectives and prosecutors who handled the original case are lining up to oppose Omaima Nelson's bid for parole, but the effort is forcing them to relive the most horrific case of their careers.

Orange County Senior Deputy Dist. Atty. Randolph J. Pawloski said he will never forget the day in 1991 when he visited the Costa Mesa apartment Nelson shared with her new husband, William.

"There were suitcases and plastic bags soaked with dark liquid from his body parts. In the fry cooker there sat Mr. Nelson's hands, and when we opened the refrigerator there was Mr. Nelson's head with stab wounds," Palowski said. "She had his entrails in his Corvette, and she was trying to get an ex-boyfriend to yank out the dentures from the head so she could dump it in the Back Bay."

1. Good grief!

What a horror! I hope they don't parole her.

2. Eww... I don't think I have ever heard of a female anthropophagist

(i.e., cannibal)...

I hope she remains incarcerated and criminologist/psychiatrists are studying her--and those correlates of her behavior.

Horrific!

Admittedly, after reading about (Rick Perry's favorite hunting buddy)Ted Nugent's sociopathic and racist behavior--along with his brutal hunting behaviors in a Rick Perry article on Daily Beat this morning, I think the woman might make a good mate for him. (I suppose I am kidding... I suppose) :eyes:

6. Why? Are you delicious?

Sorry. I had to say that.




:rofl:

3. Yum!

Nelson revealed that she sat at the kitchen table with her husband's cooked remains and
said out loud: " 'It's so sweet, it's so delicious.... I like mine tender,' "

4. That's some scary shit. n/t

[woo me with science]

5. There's a lot of pressure on models to stay thin.

As a result, they get really, really hungry.

:evilgrin:

[Ikonoklast]

7. "How do you like your hand?"

"Oh, give me three fingers worth, it's been a tough day at the office, honey."

[madmom]

8. Well there you go, the standard reply of criminals who can't pay the time.....

"During that hearing, she expressed remorse for killing her husband and said she had found salvation as a born-again Christian.":eyes:

[HappyMe]

12. lol!

Like that's going to change anybody's mind.

Oh, feel bad, found Jesus? You're free to go...

:crazy:

[Ikonoklast]

13. I got one word for you.

"Transubstantiation".



I could see how certain Christian sects that hold that as a primary tenet of their faith just might hold some attractiveness for someone with her, ummm...'history'.

[madmom]

16. ...

:rofl:

[msanthrope]

17. You beat me to it....you want to see her version of 'communion?' I don't.

[Javaman]

9. Will someone give her a hand? she's had her fill! nt

[librechik]

10. come on, she was hungry! Models never eat anything...

seriously, good grief

[Ikonoklast]

11. Do you realize how fierce the competition is in the modeling world?

Some people will literally do anything to get a head.

[librechik]

22. groan

[LeftinOH]

14. "She had his entrails in his Corvette." That's the first appearance of that sentence in history.

[undeterred]

15. There's not a lot of storage room in a Corvette.

[pinboy3niner]

18. She considered the Toyota Tundra gross and yucky

:)

[booley]

19. I'm all for giving people 2nd chances

But this might be an exception.

Eating your victim implies a lack of remorse.

[Aerows]

21. You and me both

If it were up to me, I wouldn't recommend she be let out.

[Aerows]

20. If you murder and eat your husband

and his hands are in your fry-cooker, I'm going to go with "stay the hell in lockup". That's just gruesome, and clearly, she had no qualms whatsoever about taking his life.

[calendargirl]

23. Mmm. Tastes like chicken fingers.

24. Anybody old enough to remember Ed Gein?

Q: What is Ed Gein's favorite cookie?
A: Lady fingers.

Q: What did Ed Gein say to the police when he was arrested?
A: Come on, officer, have a heart!

There were a lot of these; they were all the rage in my 5 th grade class.
