"When my great-uncle died in the '90s, my family went through his stuff before selling the house. They found the dead, decomposed body of a woman in the basement freezer..."
"It turned out to be a woman who went 'missing' in the '60s. The woman also happened to be his girlfriend at the time. Newspaper clippings showed that her family thought she ran away to Europe, and my great-uncle had 'confirmed' that she did. My family still refuses to talk about it."
No, DNA isn't identical, similar yeah..
what Sinah said..
biologically, the same, emotionally, not so much
The houses were close together, and she tossed a burning dishrag from her kitchen window onto the neighbor's roof. It smouldered, sparked a flame, and that was that.
She never told them what happened. Continued to live next to them for decades. Even saw them in church.
Dirty family secret. I didn't learn about it until 20 years after the fact.
