Hey, everyone back to crime weekly news. I'm Derek Levasseur. And I'm Stephanie Harlow.

And before we dive into this week's episode, just a quick shout out to my brother, Matt, who is being promoted to lieutenant today for his fire department. I'm not going to say what fire department, but shout out to my brother. Proud of him. Congratulations, Matt. Shout out, Matt. Good job, buddy. Keep it up. Do the work that I'm just talking about now. I feel so when he gets promoted like that, I'm like, man, where would I be right now? Where would you be right now? Yeah, like what rank would I be at, you know? Oh, if you stayed on the force. Does make me wonder. I mean, me and my brother have always competed. So he has now officially gotten higher ranking than me because I retired as a sergeant.

Are you rethinking our life together and making you take in a different back? No, God, no. I think about my salary that I was getting as a police officer. No, hard no. Oh, sad. No, I'm good. Shout out, Matt. I'm thinking about you from here, buddy, from the distance. He's saying you may be more broke than him, but you have a higher rank. Yes. Yes. Yes, exactly. You're doing, you're doing well. I'm proud of you. Okay, so we're going to talk about something today that's different than anything we've ever talked about before. And when we were

getting ready to record, Stephanie was like, there's a market for this. So we're going to discuss it

because there definitely is clearly by this guy's action. So for anybody who does not know,

34-year-old Jonathan Gerlach of Efforda, Pennsylvania is alleged to have systematically broken

into mausoleums and underground burial vaults and historic cemeteries, most notably Mount

Moriah Cemetery over the course of several months,

removing human remains, including skulls, long bones, mummified parts, and entire skeletons.

He is now facing hundreds of criminal charges related to grave robbing, abusive corpses, theft,

desecration, and related offenses. And this is something that's horrific on multiple fronts.

First thing you think about is that these are real people.

Yeah.

These are real people that he's digging up.

And you think about all their loved ones out there who are now finding out that someone

who is very important to them that just wasn't a skeleton has now been disrespected in this

manner. And God knows what has been

done to their skeletal remains after the fact. Well, so that's kind of where I was, I was kind of

thinking of it. When the news first broke, they didn't say what his motive was. They were just like,

hey, this guy's got like a hundred corpses in his house. And I was thinking, is this some weird sex thing? Right? Because whenever you hear something, whenever you hear something like this, you didn't? Nope. So what's wrong with me? Because I think, I think they're skeletal remains. So I think sexual and nature is less likely. And I'm not trying to be too graphic here. But it would be something weird,

something that's like, this guy is not normal. And now you come to find, well, he's selling them online.

And then, you know, at least you're like, oh, few, it's not something, some weird sex thing.
