CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago woman faces charges of first-degree murder and other counts after officers discovered human stays inside a freezer at a boarding house, police said Wednesday.
Sandra Kolalou, 36, also faces a felony charge of concealing a homicidal death within the death of Frances Walker and a misdemeanor count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against a 24-year-old tow truck driver, Chicago police said. It wasn’t clear how old Walker was.
Kolalou is due in bond court Thursday. It wasn’t clear Wednesday if she has an attorney who might comment on her behalf.
Police said they found Walker’s stays contained in the freezer within the rooming house she owned Monday while they were checking on her welfare.
A resident of the boarding house who had filed a missing individuals report on Walker told officers that Kolalou called a tow truck and carried a heavy bag out to the truck when it arrived. Kolalou then dumped the bag in a garbage can at a beach along the lakefront, police said.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said Wednesday the contents of the bag weren’t human stays.
The tow truck driver told police that Kolalou had pulled a knife on him.
