Dominatrix in Bizarre Death Case
Q U I N C Y, Mass., Aug. 15 -- Police say a man missing for more than a month died during a sadomasochistic sex game, then was hacked up and stuffed into a trash bag by his panicked partner.
Michael Lord, 54, went missing early last month. But police say they traced his phone records to a dominatrix, and visited her Web site. When confronted, the woman admitted to being with Lord when he died.
The woman, who has not been identified, said he died during their encounter at her condominium on July 3. Afraid to go to the authorities, she enlisted the help of her boyfriend.
The two cut up the body with a hacksaw and removed the man’s organs — preserving them in ammonia — before putting all the body parts in eight double-bagged trash bags and tossing them into a trash bin in Maine, the woman told police, according to the Patriot Ledger of Quincy.
No Arrests
No arrests have been made, and the body parts have not been recovered. Salem, N.H., police found Lord’s car.
A spokesman for Norfolk County District Attorney William Keating told the Ledger that the man’s cause of death may have been related to “consensual adult contact.”
The woman’s neighbors were shocked when told of the story.
“It is quite shocking, but she was a very polite woman and seemed keep to herself,” said one stunned resident. “I had seen her at our association meetings, and that’s why that’s quite a shock to me.”
Neighbors say police spent several days in the building last week.
