I read a few other news blurbs on the link from the column on the right [as it were] and this one caught my attention, might be one of those cases where the company didn't really mind if they hadn't used their brand name.

When they searched Stephen David Royds' room, they found the body inside a Rubbermaid container filled with dry ice, he said.

"It's definitely weird," Sailor said.

An autopsy of the body was "inconclusive" because there was no sign of trauma, and her death did not appear to be a homicide, said Dan Akin, an Orange County supervising deputy coroner.

Police identified the woman as 33-year-old Monique Trepp. It wasn't clear how long she had been dead, Sailor said.
I didn't know Rubbermaid had human sized containers, Tupperware maybe.

And Waterboarding figured into all of this in some way, I suppose?

Um, those convictions were overturned on account of prosecutorial malfeasance, weren't they?

Please note that many of these "instances" were nothing more than accusation.
