He probably put it there so it didn’t start stinking before he found a place to safely

My neighbors partner at work did the same thing to his brother at Thanksgiving a few years ago. Killed him and kept him in the freezer but got caught a couple months later. The whole time he was at his job like nothing happened .

I feel like people hiding bodies in a house used to be a bigger deal. This is like the 3rd or 4th case in the last couple months and the stories just come and go.

This appears to be a domestic dispute between a father and son. If this info is right, it could happen anywhere and thus not indictive of how shitty 12th and Snyder is. And it is shitty.

Our society is breaking down. I'm thinking about moving. Earlier this week someone riding in a septa bus was hit by a stray bullet.

I visited some small towns outside altoona a couple days ago for business. Martinsburg, holidaysburg, roaring springs there is no crime people don't even lock their doors everyone was nice. I have two kids less than 4 years old I think it's time to move to a nicer place in central pa.... Yeah there isn't any diversity and the food is going to suck but at least my kids will stay alive

Snyder sucks mostly because it is a heavily used arterial road. As far as perception of safety, speaking from East of Broad, it only really sucks at B&S and between 8th and 5th. Otherwise I would define it as okay.

There isn't just "no diversity and bad food", there aren't any jobs either, and there is an opiate problem that blows philly outta the water (people just don't tend to believe that because the population density is so much less and they don't round up users into a big open air market like they do in philly. But please understand your kids are no safer there). I got out of that area 18 years ago and even with all of Philly's problems I would never, ever go back.

This was the basic story of the Ira Einhorn case which got made into a TV movie, although he used a trunk instead of a freezer (much decomposition ensued before he got caught) and then fled the country.

yeah it was an insane story, my neighbor was a truck driver, and the dude was his helper, so they drove around together for like 8 hours a day for half a year talking about sports and girls and stuff all the while his helper's brother is dead in his freezer. Really makes you think about what kind of secrets your coworkers have.

It's still a skid mark.

10th to 13th is the best, 4th to Front and 15th to 18th are OK. It's interesting how it just carves up a good spot too, like you can have nice areas on both sides of Snyder but Snyder Ave gonna Snyder.

Oregon is huge and arterial and doesn't have the same issues. I think all the poop is leaking out the asshole on Broad and Snyder. Between the subway and Wedge, plus the homeless colony and the junkie store that buys food stamps and the rows of empty businesses, it's a disaster.

When I was a kid, there was n open air market on that stretch of Broad where they sold bootleg DVDs, cologne, and stolen sneakers and those guys kept it clean as hell and chased away the riff raff. When the city made them leave, it got ugly again.

Central pa is great for meth and literally 0 jobs. And it's not like this stuff doesn't happen out there... The first two experiences I ever had with bodies chopped up and put in a freezer being found were in a small quaint town in central pa

I wonder what circumstances led to it being discovered? Looks like this happened very early in the morning today, so my guess is that the actual incident of violence had recently occurred and the noise caught someone’s attention. The headline sort of lends itself to the suggestion that a body had been in the freezer for a while, like a serial killer situation, whereas it seems more likely that someone just committed murder and tried to hide it there.

Edit: NBC article has more detail; the family discovered the person after a welfare check. I feel for them, horrible thing to witness. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/body-freezer-south-philadelphia-home/3458181/?amp=1

In all of the articles I’ve read, it says family members went to check on the father and son that periodically live in this home because they hadn’t heard from them. The family members discovered the scene because there was a lot of blood in the home leading to the basement.

My dad used to travel for work and would always bring home something different from where he had visited.

On one such occasion, he brought home an issue of either The National Inquirer or another newspaper, I can't recall exactly. The headline was "Sayonara Stinky!", a picture of Einhorn in an orange jumpsuit, and an image of the trunk at bottom right corner of the page. My dad thought the title was funny, although my parents didn't think what happened was a laughing matter. They were both following the case on the news and didn't think he would be caught.

“According to police, the body, later identified as a man, was discovered in a freezer in the basement around 6:28 a.m. Friday. Medics pronounced the man dead at 6:50 p.m., officials say.” Is that a typo or does it sometimes happen that 12 hours passes before someone is pronounced dead after being found in a freezer with a bag over his head?

IIRC, the “Stinky” moniker also describes einhorn’s personal hygiene. He was an old-time hippie who wasn’t into bathing, shaving, etc and went around smelling pretty ripe.

That case was so sad… neighbors had been complaining to the City about the smell for quite some time. Of course, by then it was too late, but it could have saved her family some of the anguish of not knowing whether she was dead or alive. I used to attend volunteer group meetings in this very old farmhouse in Pennypack Park, and occasionally a mouse would get caught between the walls and die. It only happened during the Winter, when the mice came in for the warmth. That smell was awful, and it was everywhere. If one tiny mouse can create such a stench, I can’t even imagine how bad a decomposing human body smells, and in the heat of the Summer, too…

I know it sounds ridiculous to say this, but putting someone’s body in a freezer after you murder them seems more sinister than just leaving them on the ground.

There is more thought and calculation put into it. Plus, people don’t tend to nicely fit in freezers most of the time. Imagining someone coldly manipulating a corpse and trying to get them to fit inside of the freezer, pushing, rearranging, slamming the door closed, etc. It’s just creepy.

Holy shit, he was (unsuccessfully) defended by attorney Charles Peruto, who ran as a Republican against Krasner in the last election.

Peruto, for those who might not recall, made the news in 2013 when a 26-year-old paralegal, an employee of his, was found dead in his bathtub. Investigation later ruled the death an accidental drowning likely caused by a seizure, and her blood alcohol was purportedly above .40.

It’s Snyder, I’m not surprised. This might be the least shitty part but go two blocks down there’s practically a homeless encampment. Go down toward 7th street there’s addicts and hookers chilling all day it’s a wonderful place to be.

Word of the grisly discovery caused a stir in the neighborhood Friday.

"This is a shock to the community, for people to wake up and see this," said Yusuf Mitchell, who lives nearby. "It's a Friday, Christmas coming up, and it's a bad way to start off the holidays."

"It's a nice neighborhood, I ain't never seen nothing like this happen in this area."

Wow, I knew he was a hippie, although I did not know that was why he was called "Stinky". Thank you for mentioning it! I thought it had to do with stuffing Maddux's body into that trunk. Still, so barbaric and horrifying. Nobody could ever come to terms with anyone close to them dying that way.

Your mouse example is spot on. My co-worker's neighbor died in his hot tub and wasn't discovered until almost a week later. The temperature of the hot tub liquefied the body and the odor from the decomposition made the house unliveable.

Nah, I get it. I mean the city has had over 500 of these dead bodies this year. Ultimately, they're all just as dead and those lives are done. That's the primary aspect. But yeah there is a difference between firing some shots then running and stabbing/storing someone. I think this one was found out immediately but I was going to add for those who do this and live with the body in their home for months/years. It definitely makes for a more attention-grabbing story. And the video of the body is now online.

“You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now, is it?”
