Georgia community horrified by discovery “All we know for sure right now are the 80 bodies, 13 of those have been identified, Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead said Saturday night. ‘But they’ve found so many other partial skeletal remains and evidence of graves, we don’t know how many more are out there.’ When asked why the bodies had not been cremated, Marsh said the crematory incinerator was not working, Bankhead said.”
The crematory owners, Ray and Clara Marsh, turned the business over to their son in 1996. The couple has turned over company records to authorities and were cooperating, Walker County chief deputy Hill Morrison said.
Some bodies were found in rusty coffins, some as much as 10 years old, that had evidently been buried and then later disinterred, Bankhead said. (Can’t believe it’s not Flint)
