DILLSBURG, Pa. - A Pennsylvania woman was charged Wednesday with hiding her grandmother’s remains in a freezer so the dead woman's Social Security checks would continue.
State police say they charged Cynthia Carolyn Black of York Haven with abuse of a corpse, theft and receiving stolen property.
Police were summoned to a home in Dillsburg in February 2019, to investigate a body in a freezer. RELATED COVERAGE: CRIME & PUBLIC SAFETY Investigators used DNA to help determine that the remains were those of Glenora Reckord Delahay, born in 1906.
