Woman hides mother's body in freezer to collect welfare payments as police discover grim evidence

A woman who found her mother dead of natural causes bought a deep freezer and stuffed her corpse into it so she could get her hands on her disability payments, police have said.

Sebastian Police Department said in a Facebook post that they have arrested Michele R Hoskins, 64, of Sebastian, Florida for failing to report the death of her mother, Marie Hoskins, and tampering with evidence.

In April, officers located 93-year-old Marie dead inside a chest freezer after a welfare check at the house she shared with her daughter, the department wrote on Facebook.
