Colorado funeral home owners accused of misspending nearly US$900,000 in pandemic relief funds and living lavishly, all while allegedly storing 190 decaying bodies in a building and sending grieving families fake ashes, pleaded guilty Thursday to federal fraud charges for defrauding customers.
This combination of booking photos provided by the Muskogee County, Okla., Sheriff's Office shows Jon Hallford, left, and Carie Hallford, owners of Return to Nature Funeral Home.
The Hallfords used the pandemic aid and customers’ payments to buy a GMC Yukon and Infiniti that together were worth over US$120,000, laser body sculpting, trips to California, Florida and Las Vegas, US$31,000 in cryptocurrency and luxury items at stores like Gucci and Tiffany & Co., according to court documents.
Crystina Page, whose son’s body was left languishing in the funeral home after his death in 2019, spoke in court Thursday, saying she understood the plea deal was as close to justice as she was going to get, but that it “only scratches the surface of the atrocities they committed.” Stunning fossil trapped in amber reveals previously unknown species that lived during the time of dinosaursThe Maritime Sikh Society says the body of a young employee who died at a Walmart in Halifax last weekend was found by her mother.Montreal police say four teenagers suffered stab wounds after an altercation near John F.
