Funny how she stayed with him despite his history.

Imagine being this kid and finding out about your parentage...

"...And then he went to jail for killing your mother, and when he got out after his next girlfriend paid his bond, he killed her and ate her brains!"

I don't know if the new victim was aware of the old victim.

She probably really got off on her Drama Queen production...right up to the point where it got a little bit too real.

"Monsters are bad. Stay away from monsters, m'kay?"

Here is the local news report. She had changed the locks which suggests she did wise up, just too late. This story also omits that he seriously injured his mother in the 1998 attack.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A southeastern Indiana man admitted to police officers that he fatally stabbed his girlfriend and then mutilated her body, including cooking and eating some of her organs, according to police documents released Monday.

Joseph Oberhansley, 33, of Jeffersonville appeared in court Monday, where he was formally charged with murder in the death of Tammy Blanton, 46. He also was charged with abuse of a corpse and breaking and entering.

Oberhansley denied the allegations against him and told Judge Vicki Carmichael he’s not the man police say he is, claiming that his name is Zeus Brown, the News and Tribune and The Courier-Journal reported.

“You’ve got the wrong guy,” said Oberhansley, who also told the judge he didn’t need an attorney because he was innocent.

Public defender Jeffrey Stonebraker was appointed to represent Oberhansley. Stonebraker did not immediately respond to a message from The Associated Press seeking comment.

Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Mull said he doesn’t believe Oberhansley’s statements.

There’s “no doubt in my mind” he did this, Mull told The Courier-Journal.

According to a probable cause affidavit, police were called to Blanton’s home twice last Thursday. The first time was at 2:50 a.m.; Oberhansley was upset he couldn’t get inside the home he shared with Blanton because she had changed the locks. Police said they told Oberhansley to leave.

They returned to the home shortly after 10 a.m. after a co-worker reported Blanton hadn’t shown up for work. Police said Oberhansley answered the front door and said he didn’t know where Blanton was. Police said in the affidavit that they saw what appeared to be a fresh injury to his hand.

Police said he had a pocket knife in his back pocket with blood on it. An officer reported seeing blood in several places in the house, then found a large amount of blood in the bathroom with fabric draped over the tub. Another officer lifted the fabric and found Blanton’s body, according to the affidavit.

Detectives and a deputy coroner were called to the scene. The deputy coroner said a large portion of the woman’s brain and her heart were missing.

Police said Oberhansley initially denied knowing what happened to Blanton’s body but later said he broke into the home and into the bathroom where she had locked herself, the affidavit said. He said he struck her several times with a knife and used a jigsaw to cut open her skull, according to the affidavit.

He told police he ate her heart, and parts of her lung and brain, the affidavit says.

He was ordered held without bond last week.

Authorities say Oberhansley was convicted of manslaughter in the 1998 shooting death of his then-girlfriend, 17-year-old Sabrina Elder, in suburban Salt Lake City just days after the birth of their son. The prosecutor in the Utah case said during Oberhansley’s sentencing hearing in 2000 that the shooting followed a two-to three-week drug binge and that he probably wasn’t rational at the time.

I live in Louisville Kentucky and the news here is reporting that the girlfriend knew nothing about the last girlfriend being killed. She just thought that he got into trouble for domestic violence. His mother, who he shot in the same incident in 1998, defended her son saying that it was all due to drug use.


Oberhansley's mother, still nursing pain from where she was shot in the back in the 1998 shooting, continued to defend her son.
"I think the drugs had a lot to do with it," she said.
When Oberhansley was paroled he was allowed to move to Indiana to be supervised through the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision. Utah Parole Board did not receive any reports of violations while Oberhansely was on parole despite run-ins with the law, including a police pursuit in Louisville. Now Oberhansley is facing charges of murder, abuse of a corpse and breaking and entering after police found Tammy Jo Blanton's mutilated body in her Jeffersonville home.

Well, it was domestic violence.
