Killed, Dismembered, Cooked and Ate Her Husband in 1991 … is she still a threat to society? …
Omaima Aree Nelson in 2006 (California Dept. of Corrections)
COSTA MESA, Calif. — A prosecutor is opposing parole for a former model convicted of killing her husband, then cooking and eating his remains 20 years ago.
Omaima Aree Nelson is seeking early release from her 27-years-to-life sentence for murdering William E. Nelson, 56, over Thanksgiving weekend in 1991.
Nelson is scheduled to appear at a parole board hearing Wednesday in Chowchilla State Prison in Central California.
Her first bid at parole was rejected in 2006.
The prosecutor who helped send Nelson to prison has written a letter to the board saying Nelson would be a threat to public safety if released.
He says he'll never forget the horror of visiting the couple's home.
"There were suitcases and plastic bags soaked with dark liquid from his body parts. In the fry cooker there sat Mr. Nelson's hands and when we opened the refrigerator, there was Mr. Nelson's head with stab wounds," Palowski recalls.
"She had his entrails in his Corvette and she was trying to get an ex-boyfriend to yank out the dentures from the head so she could dump it in the Back Bay."
Nelson, who worked as a part-time model and nanny in Egypt, immigrated to the U.S. in 1986.
She was in her 20's when she killed her husband and then dismembered and cooked parts of his body in their Costa Mesa apartment.
