A Lancaster County man is facing more than 500 charges after investigators say they discovered more than 100 human skeletal remains in his home.

Officers say a Tuesday night arrest of 34-year-old Jonathan Gerlach culminated a monthslong investigation into break-ins at Mount Moriah Cemetery in Yeadon, where at least 26 mausoleums and vaults had been forced open since early November.
...
He was arrested as he walked back toward his car with a crowbar at the 1855 cemetery, police said, and a burlap bag in which officers found the mummified remains of two small children, three skulls and other bones.
...
Police believe the remains were also taken from other cemeteries throughout the region. They are also investigating a Facebook group titled "Human Bones and Skull Selling Group," where Gerlach was tagged and pictured holding a skull.

6. It sure is.

This morning I finished reading the NF book, "The Lady And Her Monsters...", by Rosanne Montillo about grave robbers and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. And now this story!
