Colorado Judge to Decide on Plea Deals for Funeral Home Owners Accused of Storing Decaying Bodies
A Colorado judge is set to decide on Monday whether to approve the latest plea deals for two former funeral home owners accused of storing nearly one hundred ninety decaying bodies in a bug-infested building in Colorado Springs. The new deals propose thirty to fifty years for Jon Hallford and twenty-five to thirty-five years for his wife, Carie, who ran Return to Nature Funeral Home. Family members of the victims plan to protest again at the hearing, pushing for one hundred ninety-one years behind bars for each—one year per body—and they want the cases to go to trial for full accountability. The couple admitted to one hundred ninety-one counts of corpse abuse, handing out fake ashes, and dumping bodies from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty-three, plus federal fraud for nearly nine hundred thousand dollars in pandemic aid. The scandal sparked tougher funeral home rules, including routine inspections, amid other grim discoveries like decomposing corpses in Pueblo. Checkout Solipillow.com
