I find any descration of a gravesite to be despicable, and I hope these teens, if found guilty, are punished with jail time, though we're clearly not talking about YEARS in jail here. If the motive wasn't witchcraft (a good guess on the part of the police, given that it was a Halloween crime) I would love to know what the motive was before condemning the cops for jumping to conclusions. Most modern witches are not into that kind of stuff. Most teens, however, do stupid things and need to learn not to repeat them.

It wouldnt be just a prank if it was your family member. They deserve jail time. What if that had been their family member?

I think a prison sentence is a bit extreme for a Halloween prank. There was no damage done, give them community service or something.

First report is "remains stolen from grave". Now, it's "believed" the remains were never removed. So is she there or not? Surely some bones would remain even if the coffin had turned to dust.

Hope the PD does a better job with locating the living.

Pretty thin article, especially when I look back at some of the articles that were published when the incident first took place. Did we ever find out from the boys exactly WHY they would want to dig up the body? Something a bit more concrete from the source itself might be helpful. Glad to see the authorities seemed to have backed off the occult angle. Kids pulling some Halloween stunt need not be practitioners of magic nor witchcraft to inspire bad behavior. Truth be told I can’t think of any legitimate Wicca or Neopagan practitioner or group that would go about grave robbing, Halloween or otherwise.
