1 gen 1986 anni - Gillmouth body found

Descrizione:

Two months later, on New Year's Day 1986, a fisherman saw what looked like a floating coffin in the water. Wisely, he decided not to open the box and instead called 911. Police discovered a dead man inside. It would be another three years before Gillmouth’s body was identified; his unsuspecting family were still receiving letters on his behalf, written by his new girlfriend Puente. Puente had been collecting Gillmouth’s pension as well as forging letters to Gillmouth’s family, in which she impersonated him.
Gilmouth's extreme decomposition means no official cause of death was ever declared, but it was likely he was killed by Dorothea's typical process, drugging.

Although an autopsy was performed immediately, the body was not identified as Gillmouth until early 1988. Gillmouth's body was clad in undershorts [sic] and a T-shirt. It was wrapped in "numerous black plastic bags" and then wrapped in clear plastic with a bed sheet as the outside layer. The plastic was held in place with black electrical tape. In the box with the body were some moth balls and "blue toilet deodorizer." A watch was on Gillmouth's wrist. There was no evidence of trauma to his body. The body was "markedly decomposed." A blood sample was collected for toxicological testing, and tissue samples were preserved but not submitted for toxicological testing. The blood sample was tested but it was subsequently deemed "not suitable" for most toxicological testing procedures. Gillmouth had been dead for "at least weeks" before January 1, 1986. The cause of death was "indeterminate." In 1990, Gillmouth's tissue sample was tested and no drugs were detected in it. However, it could not be determined whether the absence of findings was due to absence of drugs or the use of a preservation method which interfered with toxicological analysis.
