Thanksgiving weekend 1991, Costa Mesa, California—police respond to a tip and uncover one of the most shocking crime scenes in California history. Inside an apartment, 23-year-old Omaima Aree Nelson has killed her 56-year-old husband, William “Bill” Nelson. What makes this case unforgettable isn’t just the homicide—it’s what she did afterward: dismembering his body, attempting to dispose of it, and, according to prosecutors, cooking and even tasting parts of him.

In this episode, we break down the full timeline of the Omaima Nelson murder case—how she met Bill, the quick marriage, the alleged abuse, the brutal killing over Thanksgiving, and the sensational 1993 trial that led to her conviction for second-degree murder. We’ll talk about the cannibalism claims, the psychological factors brought up in court, and why this case still ranks among the most disturbing California true crime stories of the 1990s.

You’ll hear:

  • Who Omaima Nelson was before the murder
  • The relationship with Bill Nelson and the fast marriage
  • What investigators found inside the Costa Mesa apartment
  • Why prosecutors said she cooked her husband
  • Her claim of self-defense and abuse
  • The 1993 verdict: 28 years to life
