Neglected Colorado Funeral Home Unearths Gruesome Discoveries

An FBI agent testified about the grisly discoveries at a Colorado funeral home, where nearly 200 abandoned bodies were found, including stacks of partially covered human remains, bodily fluids on the floor, and flies and maggots throughout the building. The owners, Carie and Jon Hallford, are accused of abusing corpses, stealing, laundering money, and forging documents. Text messages revealed their financial pressures and fears of being caught for mishandling the bodies, with one suggesting getting rid of them by digging a big hole and treating them with lye or setting them on fire. Several families who hired the funeral home to cremate their relatives have confirmed their remains were among the decaying bodies.
