L.A. chef told investigators he slow-cooked his wife’s body for days

LOS ANGELES (MCT) — A Los Angeles-area chef on trial in his wife’s slaying told authorities the reason they couldn’t find her body was because he slow-cooked it for days, then disposed of the remains.

David Viens’ wife, Dawn Viens, disappeared in October 2009. In March 2011, David Viens told sheriff’s investigators why they hadn’t been able to find the body of his wife, who had been missing for nearly a year and half.
