From WKRC:
A Colorado couple was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to concealing a man’s body for more than a year and using his identity to access his Social Security benefits, prosecutors said.
James Agnew, 58, and Suzanne Agnew, 57, each pleaded guilty to tampering with a deceased human body and identity theft in connection with the death of James O’Neill. …
O’Neill died in December 2023 at the Lakewood home he shared with the Agnews. Prosecutors said the couple did not report his death and concealed his body inside a plastic mattress secured with tape. Investigators found his remains beneath a deflated air mattress during a search of the home on July 3, 2025.
Prosecutors said the couple impersonated O’Neill in phone calls and emails, accessed Social Security payments deposited into his account and used his debit card to make purchases. …
The things people will do for money. That's just gory. He'll get in more trouble for abuse of a corpse rather than the fraud, the two or more charges together will insure a very very lengthy time in jail. Who could live with a dead guy in their house for nearly 2 years? I wouldn't think it'd be worth the money, myself. 😳
ReplyDeleteYou would be surprised what one would overlook in order to get a few dollars in their pocket. This is similar to DJT’s cabinet members.
