He Was Afraid People Would Think He Killed Her
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Wisconsin authorities said a man told them he kept his mother's body in a freezer for more than four years to collect her Social Security checks.
A woman's body was found encased in ice, in a sitting position.
Police said Philip Schuth told them his mother died of natural causes in 2000, but that he was afraid to notify police because he thought they wouldn't believe him.
Investigators found the freezer at the end of an all-night standoff at Schuth's home in the town of Campbell. A neighbor was shot during a dispute and SWAT teams responded.
Schuth surrendered without incident. Investigators found 15 to 20 homemade explosive devices and more than a dozen firearms.

Shooting neighbours because of misbehaving children, freezing your mothers corpse for four years... its hard not to be judgmental...
