NEW ORLEANS - A note found on the body of a suicide jumper led police to a French Quarter apartment where they found his girlfriend's charred head in a pot on the stove, her arms and legs in the oven and her torso in the refrigerator, a law enforcement officer said Wednesday. New Orleans Police spokesmen confirmed that a 26-year-old woman was found dismembered Tuesday night in her apartment above a voodoo shop.
Details from the kitchen were released by a law enforcement officer close to the investigation who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity and unidentified officials who spoke to the Times-Picayune newspaper and WWL-TV.
A woman who identified herself as Priestess Miriam in the Voodoo Spiritual Temple and Cultural Center below the apartment said Wednesday that the couple had recently moved in.
"You see people and never know what's going on with them," the woman said.
Police said the 28-year-old man leaped from the seventh-floor of the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel in the French Quarter on Tuesday night. When officers checked his pockets, they found the note, which led them to the apartment and the woman's body.

You know it's bad when you have to get "Priestess Miriam" from the downstairs voodoo shop to say "they were such a quiet couple."
There's a long thread on this already, BTW.
VOODOO!
He said the woman worked as a waitress ...She was the kind of girl who really threw herself into her work.
Sorry; did a KWS but didn't find anything.
I think it's a slightly different article.
Link?
I'm sorry, but this is too weird not to laugh a little.

I don't know ... I'm kinda' thinkin' ... when you move on top of a Voodoo priest, you never know what's going on with her.
It's entirely possible that I know these people.
If I rented an apartment above a voodoo shop I would fully expect to eventually cut somebody up and cook them then kill myself.
Sounds like things are getting back to normal in New Orleans.
They're macabre, but stories like this kill me.
The other thread has pictures and recipes, too.
:)
I'm not quite sure I'd admit that.
My condolences.
The article said the couple lived above a voodoo shop. Can't help but wonder.
