A 61-year-old Pennsylvania woman was arrested Wednesday and charged with theft and abuse of corpse for allegedly hiding her dead grandmother’s body in a freezer for 15 years so she could collect the woman’s Social Security benefits, state police said.
Cynthia Carolyn Black of York County had told police during their more than yearlong investigation that she had found Glenora Reckford Delahay dead inside their home in the Delaware County section of Ardmore in March 2004, police said.
Black carried the body to the basement and put it in a freezer because, she said, she needed her grandmother’s Social Security income.
The grandmother was 97 when she died.
Black told police that three years after her grandmother’s death, she moved the freezer with the body to Dillsburg, York County, and used the Social Security income to pay the mortgage on a home.

Social Security didn’t find it odd that she was allegedly 112 years old
She probably voted democrat in each election, too (this being Pennsylvania ... )
Was she voting absentee?
I wonder how many elections grandmother voted in during that period.
Some lawyer will say that she identified as her grandmother.
She had 15 years to dispose of the body and she procrastinated for that long?
After 15 years must have had a helluva freezer burn.
Something from an episode of Dragnet or a Quinn Martin show.
Naw. Granny was probably a registered Dimocommie. Free stuff runs in the party.
The poor granddaughter. Just when she was about to cash Grannie’s $1200 check from President Trump, she gets busted.
Computers and software dont care, keep spitting out checks till they are instructed to stop, they never were.
Bet they will want their 15 year or so over payment back.
Red flags should have gone off...you would think SS would have an algorithm to automatically check after a certain age.
Some years back Tokyo began planning a celebration of their centenarians, but while trying to contact the people to be honored discovered many had died years before and their families hid it to keep the pension checks coming.
Anticipating a looming shortage, I bought a GE 5 cu ft freezer from Home Depot to store meat during the pandemic for $250. Good deal, no gouging reasonable delivery time.
Now that the meat shortage doesn’t appear to be a big problem, I figure I could put two bodies in there if I cut them in half if I had to. So the freezer is not wasted money on panic buying or hoarding.
Cool idea. Cold case.
how many times did she vote?
They did and that's why they caught her.
Kudos to you for doing the math, though.
I was still trying to figure out if every woman gave birth at 13 in that family.
