Looks like she had a skeleton in her closet, literally and figuratively.

Christ that is creepy.

ooooooooh grandma's being naughty!!! :X

What the...?

Could you imagine? Dealing with the grief of losing mom and then dealing with the question as to where the HELL that body came from and who it was??

Wow...can't even fathom.

Yeah sucks for the family, but I'm having a harder time imagining going to sleep every night with a dead body in your closet. What'd she do just wrap another layer around it when it started to smell?

"It was now midnight, and my task was drawing to a close. I had completed the eighth, the ninth and the tenth tier. I had finished a portion of the last and the eleventh; there remained but a single stone to be fitted and plastered in. I struggled with its weight; I placed it partially in its destined position. But now there came from out the niche a low laugh that erected the hairs upon my head. It was succeeded by a sad voice, which I had difficulty in recognizing as that of the noble Fortunato. The voice said--

"Ha! ha! ha! --he! he! he! --a very good joke, indeed --an excellent jest. We will have many a rich laugh about it at the palazzo --he! he! he! --over our wine --he! he! he!"

"The Amontillado!" I said."

The police are really on this one. Come on, it doesn't take Columbo to figure this one out. The old girl passed, and mom hid her in the closet to keep cashing her checks.
