BURIED TREASURE: Deputies from the St. Bernard Parish, La., Sheriff's
Office arrested Kenneth Rabalais, 19, after he allegedly pried open the
tomb of his cousin, who was killed in an auto crash ten months ago. "He
believed there was money and possibly marijuana behind the face of the
tomb," a sheriff's spokesman says, "but apparently there was nothing
there." Rabalais was charged with misdemeanor grave desecration and
faces six months in jail. Meanwhile, detectives in Columbia County,
Wisc., investigated the theft of the cremated remains of Michael
Hendrickson, who committed suicide 10 years ago. He had been buried
with several items of "memorabilia", including some beer. Detectives
went to the home of Karen Stolzmann, 44, his former girlfriend, with a
search warrant and say they found his cremation urn and some of the
memorabilia, but think she drank the beer. They were not able to charge
her for grave desecration, a felony in Wisconsin, since she dug him up
shortly after he was buried, and the statute of limitations has
expired. (New Orleans Times-Picayune, Portage Daily Register)
