File this one in the “odd news from around the country” bin. Minneapolis CBS-owned station WCCO told viewers about a woman who sent anonymous threats to a family saying she wanted to eat their children.
Police arrested Carrie Pernula who they say admitted to making the threats. In one letter she wrote, “The children look delicious. May I have a taste?”
“She was angry because the kids were leaving things in her yard and I think being a little noisy, being kids, the way kids are,” Schmidt said.

Pernula has not been charged.
