thats bad, but not as bad as the state of GA treated you.....

 

[yakko]

Well at least he didn't kill them himself.

One interesting part of the article is where they describe how some bodies (that has been buried for up to 10 years) were apparently dug up and moved to this place.. No known explanation there..

This is disturbing as hell :|

I wonder what the guy's reasoning is. The incinerator could not have been broken for the 3 year period. The guy probably did it to pocket more money.

I'm beyond words...

Some people ain't right....

 

[notfred]

That is messed up, but why would the Governor declare a state of emergency?

 

[AndrewR]

Revolting.

That is messed up, but why would the Governor declare a state of emergency?

It says in the article -- to give the locals access to state funding and support, presumably because the search and identification will be costly.

 

[Jhill]

I wonder what he gave to the relatives when they asked for the ashes?

 

[Balt]

He gave them ashes from burnt wood.

 

[PsychoAndy]

its also gonna be on the cbs evening news.....just saw a trailer for it

 

[gopunk]

maybe it's just me, but aside from general disgust, i get the feeling there is some outrage over this... just interesting to see cultural traditions in action.

 

[Scootin159]

Reminds me of Jeepers Creepers

 

[kgraeme]

I know I have a pile of backed up work on my desk, but that's just wrong.

 

[hoihtah]

bastard... lock him in.

The local news is having The Biggest Field Day Ever(tm) with this one. The latest is that they have RE-arrested the tool responsible for all this on additional charges of "theft by deception" (ie- taking money but not ever disposing of the bodies as promised). They apparently opened another four vaults today with bodies stacked like cordwood inside. The worst thing are the poor family members that are having to identify long-dead bodies.....they are apparently going to use DNA analysis to ID some of the older bodies. The state legislature is also in the process of some hasty law-making to hopefully prevent this kind of stuff in the future.

I'm sure this will do marvelous things to dispel the notion that people from GA are freaky backwoods wackos.

You mean it wasn't already illegal to dump dead bodies everywhere and charge people for cremation?
