Online lover had corpse in freezer
A 28-year-old man has given up surfing the Internet after discovering his new-found love was a pensioner with a corpse in the freezer.
Trevor Tasker flew to America to meet Wynema Faye Shumate who posed as a sexy thirty-something on the web. She was really 65 and kept a dead body in her freezer.
Shumate was jailed for one year while Mr Tasker is now back home in Selby, North Yorkshire. He now refuses to use the Internet.
Mr Tasker flew to South Carolina after Shumate hooked him with sexy chat and sent him a semi-naked photo taken 30 years ago.
His shock at the airport turned to horror when he discovered Shumate had put her dead housemate Jim O'Neil in the freezer.
She kept him there for a year while she lived in his house and used his money. He had died of natural causes.
She had also lopped off one leg with an axe because the body was too big for the freezer.
Trevor, home with his mum in Selby, said: "I'll never log on again. When I saw her picture I thought 'Wow.' But when she met me at the airport I almost had a heart attack. I certainly won't go near that Internet."
Shumate pleaded guilty to fraud and unlawful removal of a dead body and was given a year in prison.
