Douglas Layman : Ohio women put dead man in car, withdraw money – police

It’s a crime story that sounds almost too bizarre to be true.

Two women in the Cleveland area are facing charges after allegedly putting a deceased man in the passenger seat of their car, driving to a bank and withdrawing money from his account on Monday.

The man was “propped up in the passenger seat so that the teller could see him,” Ashtabula Police Chief Robert Stell told the Star Beacon news outlet. “The bank had allowed this previously as long as they were accompanied by him.”

The women, identified as Karen Casbohm, 63, and Loreen Feralo, 55, have been charged with gross abuse of a corpse and theft.
