Now what in the world was he going to do with all those bodies? - Page 2

QTE, you're right about that!!

Well the story was that a neighbor just "walked up" on the whole thing. I think she was walking her dog or something. Maybe the dog noticed...

Gives new meaning to the phrase, "Somethin' doesn't smell right"

Also there was a cease and desist order out on the crematorium a few years earlier, but the state lifted it. The sad thing is that so far, all this man has been charged with is theft by deception and nothing else.

On one of the radio stations here, 107.9, the DJ called his grandfather up to get his opinion on this whole thing. Quite simply, the granddad said, "Well, maybe his gas got cut off, you know...he couldn't pay it on time". And he was for real. That had me CTFU!!!

The body count is now at about 150-200.

QTE

You know that there is always one of "us" that has to an exception to something.

I remember watching Jenny Jones a long time ago and there was this black guy on there wanting to join the KKK.

Not only do they have to deal with not knowing where the body of their loved one is, they have to deal with the fact that what they thought was their loved one is really a mixture of concrete, dirt and rocks.

The station replayed that clip this afternoon, both when the DJ told the story AND why he called his Grandaddy to show people he wasn't lying. I HOLLERED.

the more i read about this situation, the more i become sick to my stomach. according to the paper i read today, the newest total is 139 bodies. speculation is that 'mishandling' of bodies at this place dates back at least 10 or even 20 years.

as for the granddaddy's comments, only someone w/a mental illness would say something sick like that, in a time like this...

Plain ole laziness!

Stillwater,

I'm sure granddad didn't really mean that. You know how old folk are sometimes!

Today's body count is at 200+. My heart really does go out to those familes.

Mocha, the incenerator (sp!!) had been off since '96, but some of the bodies have been there 20 years or so. Since 1982, I believe. The clean-up costs are probably going to reach about $10-15 million dollars

and may get bigger than that.

Still, all this Marsh guy is charged with is 16 (right now) counts of theft by deception. I think that's the saddest part of any of this...they can't put a stronger charge on him right now.

The radio station here is still playing the clip. I am still CTFU even after hearing it so many times.

I was also shocked to see that the guy is black. It's a MAJOR embarassment for the entire African-American community. Another sad part is that some of the bodies are those of BLACK people. This is one reason that BLACKS don't support Black-owned businesses and services. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Now THIS man is a classic SICKO. My question is how long did he think that he would be able to do this? It seems to me that all he was doing was using his property as a CEMETARY. How could one eat, sleep, and live on top of all those bodies?Believe me yall, I'm from South Carolina (born and raised). Not all Southerners (or African-Americans for that matter) are like that. Now we've got our share of sickos, but they don't make up the majority of the Southern or African-American populations.

My prayers will be with the families.

Crematory owners known as pillars of community

By Larry Copeland, USA TODAY

Marsh

NOBLE, Ga. — The Marsh family, who ran the crematory here where authorities are uncovering hundreds of bodies, was a pillar of the community. Everybody says so. They are teachers and local political activists who moved in the highest circles of Walker County social life. Ray Brent Marsh, 28, who is under suicide watch in the county jail charged with 16 felony counts of theft by deception, is widely described as a smart businessman and a caring father of a newborn daughter.

I heard on the radio last night that a judge issued a gag order for this case. Which ,in conjunction with all the mess that's happened, makes me think that there is some REALLY dirty sheisty stuff going on. I don't think the crematorium (sp?) owner is the only one involved in this mess. I can't wait to see what happens.

From www.fownews.com

NOBLE, Ga. — Searchers discovered a new pit containing five corpses and investigators said there is no end in sight to their gruesome task of finding discarded bodies on the grounds of a Georgia crematory. The magnitude of the situation has not yet been totally determined, and will not be for some time,'' said David Ashburn, the Walker County emergency management director. Tri-State crematory owner Ray Brent Marsh is led to a court hearing. Searchers found the new pit Sunday as they worked to clear trash, brush and timber from grounds near Tri-State Crematory. They found bones scattered near the surface, then dug by hand and came upon five corpses. The bodies brought the total to 306. Sixty-five had been identified, and authorities hoped DNA collected from families would help identify more. Already, more than 3,500 families have provided information to investigators, Ashburn said.
Some of the families joined residents of Walker County at church services Sunday, using their faith to respond to crisis. How would you explain what happened back here?'' Charles Cornwell, pastor of Center Point Baptist Church, said as he stretched his arm in the direction of the nearby crematory. I think it could be summed up in one word — sin. Sin does two things. Sin blinds us and sin makes us do dumb things.''
The crematory operator, Ray Brent Marsh, remained in jail pending a judge's decision on whether to grant him a bond. There was no word on when the decision might come.
