Man and woman charged with 'abuse of a corpse' after a body wrapped in plastic is found behind an apartment house
A man and a woman have been charged following the discovery of human remains in a shallow grave behind an apartment house in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Erie police have reported finding a body wrapped in plastic Saturday that was exhumed by detectives and members of the Mercyhurst University forensic anthropology team, The Erie Times-News reports.
Thirty-three-year-old Antonio McLaurin and 28-year-old Elizabeth Taylor are charged with neglect of a care-dependent person, aggravated assault, abuse of a corpse, conspiracy and evidence-tampering.
Investigators said in an affidavit of probable cause that the remains are those of a man for whom the defendants were caregivers.
