A 61-year-old Pennsylvania woman was arrested Wednesday and charged with theft and abuse of corpse for allegedly hiding her dead grandmothers body in a freezer for 15 years so she could collect the womans 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 grandmothers Social Security income.
The grandmother was 97 when she died.
Black told police that three years after her grandmothers 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.

Happens more then anyone wants to admit in Japan. Sure some of them live long but every now and then it comes out that grandpa became a breathatarian and has not left his room for 20 years.

The potential buyers had told police they were looking around in an outbuilding when they discovered remains wrapped in trash bags and under blankets in a white chest freezer, When we were house hunting we wanted to move a freezer so we could check the basement wall. Our agent told us that we could do it if we wanted but SHE was going back upstairs. If we found anything just yell. She had 911 on speed dial.
Apparently someone in her office had found a body in a freezer and she decided there were some kind of nightmares she did not need.

Geez. This sounds like it’s a little too common.

When you have money coming in and you see a future where that money is not there because someone has died the temptation is there.
Of course there are some that do not wait for the grim reaper to show up naturally.

1st Timothy 6:10 covers money pretty well. Nothing in there about stealing from the government.

I would think that "Don't steal" covers stealing from anybody or anything.
