MAN HID WIFE IN FREEZER FOR 10-YEARS FOR CASH

A "LOVELY" old man kept his wife's body in a freezer for a decade so he could continue to collect her social security checks, cops say.
Neighbors were stunned to learn that Allan Dunn, who committed last August at the age of 86, had been keeping his grisly secret for over a decade.
He had told puzzled neighbors in Sun City Centre, FLA that Margaret had moved to a nursing home miles away from their home.
But authorities believe his stuffed her into the freezer so he could pocket the cash from her social security checks.
He body was in an  advanced state of decomposition, because the electricity had been cut off for some time before it was discovered.
Longtime friend Carol Kingsbury, who discovered the remains said: "He never gave any indication that something like that was going on. We had no hint or anything that he was capable of doing that."
Neighbors say he was an obstinate old man who rarely attended residents’ meetings or social events.
Ms Kingsbury, however, said he was a kindhearted gentleman who enjoyed spending Thanksgivings with her sister.
"You don’t know anybody," she told the St Petersburgh Times.
"There was no way of knowing he was going to hurt himself, there was no way of knowing he could do this."
