Been meaning to bring this up but always forgot.. But I'm guessing this is where Vince and the wrtiers got the idea of Walt's body disposing methods.

The woman was a biochemist who murdered her husband by knocking him out and then stuffed his body in a barrel filed with hydrophloric acid. The cops discovered the body... basically the same way Walt discovers Krazy 8's cousin in the bathtub at Jesse's house... but in a barrel. Her and her family lived in an area close to the city I lived in so it was kind of a big deal in the area.
