Hey, grandmas (already dead grandmas) are fair game for this scam, not your own living child!

"Snyder was charged with tampering with records. Jensen was charged with being an accessory after the fact."
This sounds more like defrauding the employer than tampering with records - I don't think of something submitted to a newspaper as a "record."
Can you imagine if causing something untrue to be printed in the paper was a crime? We'd lose half the newspaper staff in the country.

Almost certainly, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier serves as "the newspaper of record" for Blackhawk County. In this capacity, all vital statistics (such as obituaries) and public notices (on government bids, job openings, etc.) in the newspaper are tantamount to legal documents.
The newspaper can be liable if they are in error. Likewise, if they were falsified, the perp can be prosecuted.

Good point - I've heard that term but never made the connection.

So what was his plan for returning to work AFTER his vacation?
Reincarnation?
Possession?
Return of the Undead?

I remember a guy who used his grandmother's funeral five different times to get off from work.Then he started calling in sick on his days off and not call in on the days he was supposed to come in.He did this for a few months before the police broke down his door and arrested him for crack.This guy would make a $100k a year but he couldn't afford a car or buy furniture for his apartment.

Correct me if i am wrong, but i believe death notices filed in the media are legal. Liberal bullpoop media will always be printed without recourse however..

participated in the scam by filing an obituary saying Jensen's 17-year-old son had died, police said. Ok, so he got better.

It crossed my mind once to try this with my alma mater, IU. I wanted them to take me off of a mailing list, and thought faking my death would be a cool way to do it. The only thing that stopped me was that I knew my parents would not get the joke.

Re #18
It would be really something to read about your obituary while you are alive and kicking. I wonder what thought cross this kid's mind when he saw this.:)

He's not dead. He's sleeping. Beautiful plumage.
