"They found like a gelatinous mass in the septic tank because all the body parts had fused into a clump. You're not allowed to say the words "gelatinous mass" again!" Christi is very upset with Stephen because when he's not intentionally messing up words to keep his husband on his toes he's either struggling to say the right words at all or he won't stop saying "gelatinous mass"! What stories might compel Stephen to repeatedly use the phrase "gelatinous mass"? Well he's got two recent true crime stories for our Ghouls and Goblins this week that more than justify the use of the phrase.

Our first story concerns the crimes of Xu Guoli, who was recently executed in China for the murder of his wife. Security footage showed his wife never left their residence and yet it took almost an entire year for the police to find her remains. How did Xu manage to hide the body for that long? The answer is so outrageous even Christi had a hard time believing it was real.

In our second story we jump to Thailand where a Spanish celebrity chef, who also happens to be the son of two high profile Spanish actors, was just this week charged with the murder of a Columbian plastic surgeon he was meeting up with for a music festival. The detail of how he got caught and his "plan" might be up there for some of the dumbest crimes we've yet to cover. It turns out when you're rich you really can fail to the top, even when it comes to murder.
