  • Missing Chef Found In Wife's Freezer

    Last week the body of a well known French chef Jean-Francois Poinard was found in his common law wife's freezer.

    His wife, Guylene Collober, 51, confessed to punching Poinard in the stomach during an argument, resulting in him falling and hitting his head.

    She left him in the bathroom for three days before deciding to buy a freezer for the body. 

    Her daughter alerted police after Collober told her that "something unfortunate" had happened to the chef. Poinard, who was 71 when he disappeared, has been missing for 2 years.

    She allegedly cried when the police showed up and said, “I think you’ll find what you’re looking for."

    The body was curled into a fetal position and covered with plastic bags. His body showed signs of previous abuse. Comments from other family members indicate that their relationship was probably emotionally and physically abusive.

    According to TODAY, "Collober is now under investigation for aggravated manslaughter and, under French law, could face a harsher penalty for killing her common-law husband, which is treated as a more serious crime than killing another party."
