A convicted killer, Joseph Oberhansley, 33, allegedly forced his way into the home of his partner Tammy Jo Blanton, 46, in Jeffersonville, Indiana, on Thursday, killed her and made a meal out of her heart, lungs and brains, police said.
Officers found Blanton dead under a tarpaulin in the bathroom of her home, with fatal injuries to her head, neck and torso, according to a police affidavit.
An arrest report said that Oberhansley admitted to police that he had cooked and eaten parts of his lover’s brains.
Oberhansley has served time for killing before. He was convicted of the manslaughter of his teenage girlfriend in 1998. He was released from prison for that felony in 2012.
