YEADON, Pa. – A Pennsylvania man is facing more than 500 charges after investigators say they discovered more than 100 human skeletal remains in his home.

Authorities said 34-year-old Jonathan Gerlach broke into mausoleums and gravesites multiple times at Mt. Moriah Cemetery in Yeadon, Pa. since Halloween.

    Selling them makes it less ok than if he were just a crazy guy collecting bones to make a skele-army.

      I firmly agree, if that turns out to be the whole story. Criminals are so rarely driven by interesting motives. Always sex, money, or power.

      If I was going to ruin my life with hideous crimes at scale, I would at least develop a compelling dramatic backstory.

      He already did the hard part of joining Batman’s rogues’ gallery as “The Psychopomp” - the digging! Spend a day workshopping it, it’s your entire life you’re ruining for this!! How do people not see that?

      Sorry. I just hate to see a bad script get greenlit…
