Colorado funeral home owners arrested after 190 corpses found

The owners of a Colorado funeral home are accused of giving fake cremated remains to some bereaved families, among other allegations.
 
Jan and Carie Hallford were arrested by authorities in Oklahoma on Wednesday.
 
Authorities found 190 sets of decaying remains last month in the couple's funeral home in Penrose, some dating back to 2019.
 
The couple is facing charges of abuse of a corpse, theft, money laundering and forgery.
 
Authorities began investigating the Return to Nature Funeral Home on October 4 after neighbours reported a foul smell emanating from the facility.
 
Investigators entered to find abhorrent conditions with dozens of stacked bodies, some of which had been there for years.
