(USA Today)A woman's body found in a Clearwater, Fla., storage unit may have been stored there 17 years ago, WTSP in Tampa reports.When Ann Bunch died in 1995, the family had her body prepared for burial at a funeral home in Alabama but then ran out of money, according to News Channel 8 in Tampa.Bunch's daughter, Bobbie Barnett Hancock, decided to place the body in a special container in a unit at U-Stor Self Storage in Clearwater. As Hancock was dying of cancer last year, she told her daughter, Rebecca Ann Fancher, what she had done.After the manager of the storage facility warned that the contents of the storage unit would be auctioned off for non-payment of rent, Fancher admitted to him that the unit contained a body, News Channel 8 reports.
Well, I have a few questions about this story. First off, I’m pretty sure you can’t just give dead bodies out to the public. “Hey, sorry. Ran out of cash.” “No problem lady, pull your pick up around back I’ll help you load her in.” Like, what’s your next move? You can’t just drop Granny off on the curb and wait for your weekly pick up. And I’m almost certain it’s illegal to start a bon fire in the backyard and have a Granny roast. So I guess putting her in a storage unit is probably your best bet. My second question is, didn’t anyone every wonder where she was buried? “Mom, I’d like to pay my respects to Grand ma-ma, it is her birthday/mothers day/ anniversary of her death for 17 years. What cemetery is she in again?” “Oh, she’s in the self storage lot off I95 - unit 43.” When it gets to the part in the article about how the Granddaughter was “forced” to tell the manager there were human remains, because they were going to auction off the contents of the unit, I cant help but think about the 2nd best show on television: STORAGE WARS......YEPPPPPP. You could literally watch this fucking thing for hours on end. One time I flew on JetBlue from JFK to San francisco, and thank God there was a marathon on T.V. on the flight. It’s a big blur of little air plane bottle’s of jack, mixed together with Dave Hester and Barry Weiss, and that losers hot wife with the big titties. I’m just waiting for the day when one of them buys a unit just like this and has to deal with the aftermath of there actions. Maybe they could do a cross over with Criminal Minds to try to identify the remains and find the killer. I could see it now.
P.S.- I wonder if this is how they transported her...
or maybe Clark W. Griswold style
