Maude Wendell

Maude Wendell was a housewife living in Chicago, Illinois, who had the rather dubious honor of being the first victim of the clone. When part of it emerged from her drain while she was doing dishes, she touched it with her fingers, and instantly the clone began absorbing her. Her husband, Frank, attempted to help her but only became consumed, himself. Neighbors hearing their screams thought they were having an argument.
