ST. LOUIS: The bodies of a man and woman, married and homeless, were found at paper recycling centers more than 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) apart after police say they fell asleep in a recycling container in St. Louis.
Thomas Jansen, 53, who had been missing since late last month, was found last week at a paper plant in Arizona. He was identified Tuesday, using partial fingerprints, after workers found a body in a large container used to collect rejected material.
The body of Jansen's wife, Susan, 48, was found May 24 on a conveyor belt at a St. Louis recycling center.
Police believe the couple, who recently had become homeless, went to sleep in a recycling container in St. Louis County when it was emptied into a truck and compacted.
Officials said there were no obvious signs of foul play on either body.
