I found this interesting...

On Sept. 24, 1988, Mel Ignatow forced Schaefer, his girlfriend, to strip naked, tied her to the top of a GLASS COFFEE TABLE and then a bed, and sexually tortured her before killing her with chloroform -- later telling a judge "she died peacefully."

A Kenton County jury acquitted him of the murder in 1991, but a year later undeveloped film was found in a heating duct of a home Ignatow had owned. It showed him sexually abusing Schaefer, 36, on the night of her death.

Ignatow later confessed, but the legal doctrine of double jeopardy prevented the state from retrying him for murder.

He eventually served five years on a federal perjury charge, then was convicted in state court in December 2001 of being a persistent felon and of perjury for lying about his relationship with Schaefer. He was released from prison five years later.

MEL IGNATOW, THE POOR BASTARD, WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS APARTMENT A FEW DAYS AGO...

Taylor said Ignatow's autopsy has been completed, but the cause of death is pending as she waits for more information, including a toxicology report, from the state medical examiner, which could take weeks.

Ignatow's son, Michael, said his father fell through a GLASS TABLE over the weekend and walked around various rooms, yet never called for help before apparently bleeding to death.
