Jim Roden's Body Was Found in a Chest Freezer

Bill Rothstein disposed of Jim Roden's bad frame and bloodied vinyl flooring underneath at a nearby landfill. Bill used a saw to destroy the shotgun and then an acetylene torch to melt the fragments. Later he went for a drive and threw the scraps out of his car window. Marjorie and Bill then wrapped Jim's body in plastic and transported it to Bill's garage, storing it in a chest freezer that Bill purchased especially for the body. All of this occurred weeks before the collarbombed death of Brian Wells. Police felt Bill had great potential as a prosecution witness against Marjorie for Jim Roden’s death.
