I can understand wanting a little variety for that Thanksgiving dinner. I'm not much of a cooked turkey guy myself (tastes liked cardboard), and I'd welcome a change of pace sometimes (lasagna, ham, whatever). But this broad took Thanksgiving experimentation to hellish lows, whacking out her husband over the Thanksgiving weekend in 1991 before cooking him into a dinner and gobbling him up.She's ex-model Omaima Aree Nelson (pictured above and then below with her dead old man), and she's spent the past 20 years in the state hoosegow in Cali. How such a deliberate murder (topped off by cannibalism) only garners a sentence of "27 years to life" -- along with parole eligibility -- I'll never know. Then again, it is California. And now Omaima has a parole hearing this week where she'll plead to be let out the joint.
The then-24-year-old Omaima had only been married to her old man (56-year-old William Nelson) for a month when Thanksgiving rolled around in 1991. But instead of making hubby a bird, Omaima whipped up a last supper with the old man as the main course.
Omaima first put her old man's head in a giant pot and boiled it up on the stove like a whole chicken. But she didn't forget a side dish. For that, she fried up the old man's paws in cooking oil.
And no Thanksgiving feast would be complete without some kind of juice or gravy to smother everything in. Specifically, Omaima has admitted to dipping her cooked hubby's remains in a damn vat of barbecue sauce!But dinner with the deranged Omaima came crashing to a halt, apparently, when neighbors heard and complained of "constant chopping sounds" coming from Omaima's home, not to mention the endless churning of her garbage disposal for "a long time."
"Omaima Nelson did not seem like a person that was coherent," crowed local cop and rocket scientist Bob Phillips at the time. He added: "Omaima Nelson is the most bizarre and sick individual I've had the occasion to meet." Something tells me that Phillips has never met Janeane Garofalo, but I digress.
Now, in case you're worried that Omaima's next Thanksgiving banquet might be prepared on the freedom of the outside, the local district attorney maintains that "the parole board doesn't want to let a cannibal out." So: Garden-variety murderer -- maybe. Cannibal -- nothin' doing. Such sticklers, these California parole boards.
