A Hard Case

In fact, prosecutors said Brooks asphyxiated Andrews. He and an accomplice encased the body in a concrete-and-chicken wire egg that Brooks built in a backyard rock garden at his landlord's home in San Diego.

After Brooks was arrested for investigation of financial fraud, a neighbor who thought there might be cash and jewels concealed in the egg broke the concrete and smelled a foul odor.
