Convicted Killer Joseph Oberhansley Allegedly Murders Fiance, Eats Her Brains

A convicted Indiana killer faces ghastly, new murder charges after allegedly killing -- then eating -- the girlfriend who'd posted his bond on earlier charges.

A probable cause statement released Monday and obtained by WAVE3 says Joseph Oberhansley allegedly stabbed his girlfriend Tammy Jo Blanton to death before eating portions of her brain, lungs, and heart.

Blanton called Jeffersonville police at 3 a.m. on Sept. 11th saying Oberhansley, 33, was trying to get inside her home. Police sent him away, but they returned at 10 a.m. to check on Blanton at the urging of her coworkers.

When officers arrived, they found Blanton's bloodied body in a bathtub with sections of her skull cut out. According to the report: "[Oberhansley] further admitted to cooking a section of her brain and eating it."
