Husband wrapped ‘grandma, 82, in plastic and put her in freezer when she was ALIVE after vowing to put wife 6ft deep’
A GEORGIA man is accused of murdering his grandmother by putting her inside a freezer while she was still alive.
Robert Keith Tincher III, 29, of Armuchee, Georgia, allegedly placed the 82-year-old in plastic bags before putting her inside a large freezer.
Floyd County Police Department investigators made the discovery on Thursday after a family member voiced concern about the woman, who experienced a fall before the incident.
Police allege that Tincher failed to seek help when his grandmother fell in late 2021, and instead placed the woman in the freezer, the reports.
Tincher is accused of dragging the woman through the residence in plastic bags while she was still alive, breaking several of her bones in the process, police said.
"He described her movement and breathing when the freezer was locked," FCPD investigator Brittany Werner wrote in the report.

Tincher reportedly told police that her back broke as he placed her into the freezer, according to a jail report.
The report went on to say that Tincher was worried the freezer would be found, so he moved it to a nearby storage unit where it was discovered by police four months later.
The victim has yet to be identified publicly.
Records show that Tincher is charged with felony murder, concealing the death of another, and aggravated battery.

He is also being charged with failure to appear on two felony terroristic threats and acts charges stemming from June 2018, reported.
Tincher, then 25, and Steven Walter Brooks were accused of conspiring to kill Tincher's then-wife, Courtney Tincher, the news station reported.
Courtney reportedly told police that her husband vandalized her car a few months earlier, and allegedly posted on Facebook about hiring a hitman to kill her.
Authorities said at the time that Robert Tincher used Facebook Messenger to contact Brooks to discuss a “contract” to put Courtney “6 feet deep.”
Court records obtained by WSB-TV showed that Brooks was acquitted of the charges in January 2019.

Robert Tincher was indicted in September 2018, but failed to show up for a court date, according to the news outlet.
A bench warrant was issued for his arrest the same month that Brooks was found not guilty, and the warrant was reportedly still in effect when Tincher's grandmother died.
