She claimed her husband was in a nursing home. The truth shocked everyone

An Alaska woman told neighbors and acquaintances for years that her husband was in a nursing home, while his benefits continued to flow into the bank account. After her death in 2025, the body of her husband, Thomas Pascuan, was discovered in a freezer at their home in Juneau. The investigation revealed that Pascuan died of natural causes from heart disease, and his wife, McDonald-Pascuan, concealed his death and continued to receive Social Security, pension, and Alaska state benefits. Investigators estimate the body was placed in the freezer between 2018 and 2025. Absurdly, the money continued even after the woman's death, until July 2026, when the remains were found. The police closed the case since the main suspect is deceased.
