Chilling Incident Unfolds in Ohio Home
In a bizarre and macabre turn of events, two Ohio women have been arrested for allegedly using the corpse of their elderly roommate to withdraw money from his bank account. The shocking incident took place in Ashtabula, Ohio, where the women, identified as Loreen Feralo and Karen Casbohm, found their 80-year-old roommate, Douglas Layman, dead in the home they all shared.
Gruesome Details Emerge
Instead of immediately reporting Layman’s death, the women decided to take matters into their own hands. With the help of an unnamed third person, they placed Layman’s body in the front seat of his car and drove to a local bank. The women allegedly propped up Layman’s body in such a way that he would be visible to bank staff, allowing them to withdraw money from his account.
Police Investigation Unveils Disturbing Actions
Authorities were alerted to the situation after the women left Layman’s body at the emergency room of the Ashtabula County Medical Center without identifying him or themselves. The Ashtabula Police Department launched an investigation, leading to the arrest of Feralo and Casbohm on charges of theft and gross abuse of a corpse.
Community in Shock
The local community has been left reeling by the shocking nature of the incident. Police Chief Robert Stell told the Star Beacon that the bank had previously allowed the women to accompany Layman for withdrawals, indicating a history of disturbing behavior.
Legal Proceedings Underway
Preliminary hearings for Feralo and Casbohm are scheduled for Tuesday as the legal process unfolds. The disturbing case has sent shockwaves through the quiet town of Ashtabula, leaving residents questioning the motives and actions of those involved.
