Missing N.Y. Woman Found in Storage Unit

By WILLIAM KATES

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - The body of a woman missing since 1990 was found stuffed inside a container at a rental storage unit, and authorities charged her then-boyfriend with murder.

George W. Geddes Jr. was ordered held without bail Monday in the death of Margaret Reome, 31.



Her badly decomposed body was found inside a container last week at a U-Haul Self Storage facility in Cicero, about 10 miles north of Syracuse.

Reome's dental records were used to identify her. Officials said she died from severe trauma to the head.

The victim's three children attended Geddes' arraignment Monday.

``I want to tell him how much I hate him,'' Jerilyn Reome said, ``because he took my mother.''

Geddes had a criminal history dating back to 1978, and he was convicted in 1993 of raping a 13-year-old girl.

``That girl was me,'' Jerilyn Reome told The Post-Standard of Syracuse. ``I think (my mother) found out he sexually abused me and she confronted him.''

``Talk about dying for your kids,'' she said. Her mother disappeared just two weeks after Geddes was arrested in the rape.

Last summer, local authorities learned that Geddes was renting the 5-foot-by-5-foot storage unit. But it wasn't until last month that they realized he had not reported it to federal officials as required by the terms of his probation, Sheriff Kevin Walsh said.

The FBI obtained a search warrant.

``I don't think there's anybody in law enforcement who would think a defendant would be that stupid to keep a dead body in a storage shed rented under his own name,'' District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said. ``Luckily, people like this keep us in business.''

Reome apparently was killed sometime in February 1990 at the apartment she shared with Geddes in Mattydale, a Syracuse suburb. Investigators searched the apartment at the time, but did not find any evidence, Walsh said.

Walsh said the family waited a month to report Reome missing, which gave Geddes a chance to conceal his crime. Police believe Geddes may have stored the body shortly after the murder. He was paying $38 a month for the unit.

``Contrary to what you see on television shows, dead bodies are difficult to get rid of,'' Fitzpatrick said.

Fitzpatrick said Geddes gave investigators a statement incriminating himself but declined to offer any specifics. FBI agents took Geddes into custody Thursday.

Police said the unit smelled when they opened it, though no one had apparently noticed the odor before.

I'm really upset, even furious. This sick individual who raped a teenager then brazenly killed a lady should be placed on a South Louisiana work crew in 103-degree heat with 84-degree dewpoints, in the direct sunlight and forced to swing a pick or use a come-along to pull concrete or run a 90-pound jackhammer.

Jail is too good for these criminals. They should be worked to the bone. It's bad enough that my tax dollars go to feed and house these low-lifes. Make 'em work it off, 14 hours a day, with Sunday off because it's good to fear God and set His day aside each week. But these criminals need to pay HARD time for the crime.

That sounds "easy" compared to what I was thinking...

But on a serious note, I can't stand it either; our tax money is going towards these cowards' CABLE TV and such. (Basically, it's the Hilton with bars, and conciege that walk around with guard uniforms. )

Jeb...you and our Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, see things the same way. He manages criminals in his tent city in the summer heat...wearing pink underwear and feeding them green bologna!

I agree these types of criminals are among the worst offenders in society.

I'm wondering -- did investigators check to see if he had a storage unit in the local area or surrounding communities? He MUST have been a suspect if he already had a violent criminal history. So were they able to dig that deep or did they miss that possibility? Maybe I watch too much "Law & Order: SVU," but if, as a term of his probation, he's required to report to the federal authorities that he has a storage unit rented, then wouldn't that already be something they tend to investigate and question people about (in regards to those who don't report having one)?

He's scum. That's all I can say.

I for one think we need to bring back the old chain gangs. This BS of wasting my tax money giving criminals a life that isn't "cruel and unusual punishment" NEEDS TO STOP!!!! Those criminals and perverts live better than millions of people in this country and billions around the world do and the only thing those people did was be born poor.
