Not in my backyard

Stacy Willis


Vegas, 2003: First, Anna Mitchel's roommate stumbled upon a decomposing hand sticking up from the ground in the backyard of their quiet John S. Park neighborhood home. Then, the body was unearthed: Cecil Wilson, 44, of Ohio. Mitchel had strangled him with pantyhose, sawed his legs off, burned and buried him in the yard, along with the saw and barbecue grill.

Turns out, she did it in 2000 after a few too many cocktails when he made unwanted advances. She's since moved from the suburbs to prison; sentenced in 2004 to seven to 20 years.

And they alway seem so nice.
