http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/08/11/france.restaurateur.body/Paris, France (CNN) -- The body of a retired restaurateur who's been missing for two years has been found in a freezer in the French city of Lyon, police there told CNN Wednesday.
The corpse of Jean-Francois Poinard, 71, was discovered Tuesday in the apartment he had shared with a girlfriend in Lyon, regarded as the culinary capital of France.
Police said an autopsy will be conducted.
The French newspaper Le Monde cited a police source as saying the man's girlfriend, 51, has been taken into custody in connection with the case.
Police said the body was found after a tip from a close family member of Poinard, who was considered one of Lyon's top chefs in the 1970s and 80s.Tip from a close family member. I'm sure this was proceeded by the phrase; "It's ok, I'll go get the ice." Wouldn't that have been a sight...
