‘He still wanted to be with at least part of her’: Man charged after toting girlfriend’s body parts to mom’s

Martin’s reason for bringing parts of his girlfriend’s body with him was stunning.

“He indicated that, as grotesque as it might sound, that he still wanted to be with her, at least part of her,” Markham police Chief Terry White said during a news conference on Wednesday.

Snip

CBS Chicago obtained audio of the woman’s 911 call, in which she describes opening one of her son’s suitcases.

“No, I picked my son up. He’s from Kentucky,” the woman says. “I picked him up 'cause he was coming home; he was having a hard time. He took this suitcase in my garage. I just took him to the library and I said, ‘Let me see what’s in this suitcase.’”

When she did, she made a gruesome discovery.

“It looks like it’s a body in there,” the woman told the dispatcher.

That's bizarre, most murderers want to get rid of the body not take it on a visit to relatives! I wonder what he was looking up at the Library. Moo.

Martin was apparently having financial issues related to the Internal Revenue Service. Several letters from the IRS were discovered in his luggage, and he was on the IRS website when he was arrested at the library, White said.

This guy is not playing with a full deck. How long was he going to keep the pieces? He already had them thirty days. Just imagine a piece of meat in the fridge for 30 days. These weren't even refrigerated. He must be mentally deranged. MOO

Sure that will play into his defense.
However he did bury (as stated above in MSM) half her remains in a park.
I am wondering if his SO (girlfriend) was missing for 30 days, how he remained under radar. He had to of had his suitcase at his Kentucky home.

How did greyhound officials not notice the smell. Usually luggage other than carry on is stored under bus.

Again Horrid made of nightmares true crime.

"Authorities are withholding the girlfriend's name until they can locate a next of kin.

They did confirm that she was from Louisville and had been reported missing last week.

Police said her death resulted from a domestic assault and believe her body was dismembered at least a month ago.

The woman's torso was located on Wednesday in the Louisville park following Martin's arrest.

Martin has been charged as a fugitive fleeing prosecution and now faces an extradition hearing back to Kentucky."

Maybe a book on embalming?

What a grisly, grisly murder.
