NASCAR Corpse: Michigan Woman Admits Watching Racing on TV With Dead Companion For Months
by Free Britney at .In bizarre news out of Southern Michigan, Linda Chase told authorities that she watched NASCAR with her dead companion, Charles Zigler, for MONTHS.
All the while cashing his benefit checks.
Yeah, she'll be going to prison for a LONG time, though she insists she kept the "NASCAR corpse" around for only a few months, not a year as police allege.
Jackson, Mich., police last week found the remains of Charles Zigler in a chair in the living room. Officials believe the 67-year-old died in December ... 2010.
Chase, 72, says it was only a few months ago, however, and that she had no role in his death. Zeigler "just fell asleep," she says. Makes perfect sense then.
Linda says she kept the body clean and dressed and talked to it while watching NASCAR on TV. "I didn't want to be alone," she explained. Obviously.
"I'm probably going to prison," she told her local newspaper, apparently resigned to her fate. "But I told [police] the truth. I didn't lie about anything."
Whatever helps you sleep at night.

All of this has the word BIZARRO-VILLE written all over it!!!!! BEYOND CREEPY!!!!!
Wow, pretty amazing some of you sentimental morons are going out of your way to defend this monumental nutball, regardless of whatever underlying psychological issues fed this bizarre behavior. She didn't want to be alone? Even to the point where she'd keep a rotting corpse around? She was sane enough to know what she was doing was wrong, lock this crazy fucking bitch up with some other degenerates so she never has to be lonely again.
Locking someone up for being insane?? Get the person help. Based on the story she didn't kill anyone she just did not want to be alone. Is THAT a crime? not reporting and cashing the checks is a crime, However evaluate and make right decisions.
well look at it this way at lease she won't be lonely in jail
i think she is nuts
