MIFFLINTOWN, Pa. (AP) A Philadelphia woman is facing escape charges after she allegedly hid in a coffin at a central Pennsylvania funeral home after slipping away from authorities.

Nineteen-year-old Nicole April Kelly was arraigned Monday on charges stemming from the alleged escape on May 13.

Police say Kelly was being transported to jail to await extradition to Delaware County on other charges. Authorities say Kelly escaped from custody in Mifflintown, Juniata County, prompting a search that lasted several hours.

Sounds like she ran into a dead end.

The sound of fear CLICK.

"Investigators say she was discovered at the Brown Funeral Home by the business's owner, who held her until police arrived."

That must have been rather startling.

LOL - no doubt!

LOL! I remember that episode (in both the 50s and 80s Hitchcock shows)!!

**To much Hitchcock**

I remember that episode! It terrified me for weeks as a child!

Reminder to self...Have a “Batson’s Belfrey” installed on my coffin!

Inventive thinking for someone who is toast anyway.

Now that’s a chick who thinks inside the box.

Cute name, Nicole April Kelly. Sounds too cute to be on the lam and hiding in coffins.

“”Investigators say she was discovered at the Brown Funeral Home by the business’s owner, who held her until police arrived.”

I wonder if he sat on the coffin until the cops got there? ;-)

[Pollster1]

It could have been far worse. Imagine if he had not discovered her - until the police ordered the coffin exhumed a week or a month later.

I have the best hiding place; they'll never find me here!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Maybe she was trying out a new form of sexual harassment of dead people by women. Even cougars don’t do that!

[Moltke]

Why is she being charged? Whoever let her escape from custody should be charged!

[Snickering Hound]

Yeah, that's why she was "hiding" in the coffin. Someone make her drink some holy water to check out the story.

Somebody is yet another Twilight fan.

Hey! Mifflintown! That’s my old hometown! Moved there when I was eight and was back summers through college and between first and second year of grad school.
