Who knows. Maybe they were sick but they said the woman was missing for 2 weeks, and the husband a year to a decade.... She wouldn't be able to put him in there.. maybe she didn't want to part from him so she did who knows. Hopefully they can look at his financial information and figure about when he died.
She was probably collecting his benefits because death benefits are generally much less for a spouse. Since most woman of that age had low income, or didn't work had hardly any social security. I saw that with my grandmother when my grandfather died his SS was about $3000 a month she got around $800 after he died in death benefits she hardly worked as many families back then she had a few hundred bucks social security. They had some savings she was able to make it stretch until she died in her mid 90's but had to live very poor.
This has happened before. The case I'm aware of, the husband died of natural causes and the wife froze him so she could keep getting his social security checks. She died like 15 years later and confessed on her death bed and the nurse didn't believe her. The body was found when they were cleaning out the house. People simply just stopped seeing the man after a point and I guess no one investigated.
Honestly, I can understand doing that to keep collecting benefits. It costs almost as much for the widow to keep going after the husband is gone, yet she is usually doing it with much less money.
My grandfathers case social security had even pulled the money back out of his checking account because he died one day before the last day of the month.
I suspect this kind of thing will happen more often if that's the case here as future generations no longer have guaranteed benefit type of pension's which have been replaced with 401k seeing those accounts are not nearly enough for most people. It's no surprise how American Corporations have benefited by dumping pension plans for employee funded 401k.
Or maybe they were arguing, she backed him up against the brand-new empty chest freezer, WHAM with the frying pan and he fell into his coffin. Does anyone but me remember Leonard Tyburski and his wife Dorothy? He was a school superintendent in Southfield, MI who told the kids Dorothy ran off with another man. 3 years later his grown daughter was in his basement and wondered why the chest freezer had a lock on it. She opened it up and there was her mom. Leonard admitted to bashing her head 11x against a metal support pole in the basement. The medical examiner said she might not have been quite dead when he packed her in the freezer.
I'm guessing social security is an issue. Maybe the old guy was dying and knew his death would cut his SS out of his wife's life. He might have crawled into the freezer on his own, sort of as a suicidal act, and slammed the lid after instructing his wife to remain mum and continue to accept the checks.
There's no way she could have lifted him into the freezer by herself. If somebody had helped her murder him, I'm sure they wouldn't leave his body in the home in the freezer.

Yea and I bet the spouse who is dead. Very good chance they wanted their living spouse to do it. Because they know how hard it would be for them to carry on without their checks.
