Norman's Confession and Cooperation
- Norman admitted to dismembering Elsie but denied murdering her, claiming she hanged herself.
- He cooperated fully with police, leading them to all her body parts on his property.
Understanding the Torso and Decapitation
- The torso typically includes the rib cage down to the pelvis, excluding head and extremities.
- The complex decapitation described helped preserve the neck for forensic examination.
Head Preservation for Evidence
- Norman likely preserved Elsie's head in a tin to maintain forensic evidence of the neck.
- This suggests the neck injuries were crucial to determining cause of death.
