In a courtroom packed with families of the deceased, FBI Agent Andrew Cohen on Thursday detailed that Jon and Carie Hallford used payments from the families to buy two vehicles -- a GMC Yukon and an Infiniti — for more than $120,000, enough to cover cremation costs twice over for all of the bodies found in their business’ storage facility in Penrose, Colorado, last October.

1500 hundred bucks for dinner??? Did they order a whole cow?
Two Colorado funeral home owners accused of abandoning nearly 200 bodies took payments from families that were meant for cremations and burials and instead bought vehicles, cryptocurrency, a $1,500 dinner in Las Vegas and other personal items, prosecutors and an FBI agent said.

Must be something about Colorado. About six months after my father in law died and was supposedly cremated , there was news that the remains might be cement. My sister in law knew the real story , probably got some money out of it , but never told anyone else.
ReplyDeleteThe most expensive dinner I have ever had was in Las Vegas, and we didn't even eat at the most expensive place we saw. The meal was at Prime Steakhouse at the Bellagio, and just my wife and I spend $600 for dinner. It's such an expensive place that they don't put prices on the menu.

We also ate at Carnevita, and the dry aged steaks there were aged for 90 days. The steak alone without sides or beverages was over $300 per person. I didn't order that one, because I wasn't sure about 90 day dry aged meat being good.
Even Gordon Ramsey's burger pub had $40 hamburgers on the menu.
The food in Vegas is great, but pricey.
With Colorado turning left, this is no surprise...
ReplyDeleteIt was probably the wine.
ReplyDelete$1,500 for dinner in Lagas. I bet they were in the company of a couple high end hookers for that culinary sit down to be followed by a pair of juicy fur burger deserts
ReplyDeleteBingo !!!
DeleteBog, they weren't furburgers, it was in Vegas - in the southwest, it is fur tacos.
DeleteThe irony of "According to prosecutors, Jon Hallford was worried about getting caught as far back as 2020 and suggested getting rid of the bodies by dumping them in a big hole, then treating them with lye or setting them on fire", is that if they had put the bodies in a hole and set them on fire, then you could argue that technically they would have cremated the bodies.
ReplyDeleteNot the whole cow. Know a fellow who just bought 50 bread heifers for 2450 apiece. Beef is higher than giraffe pussy right now. Backwoods Okie
ReplyDeleteMy state has gone to sheet. by my old house in Denver they turned one of the hotels into Venezuela, illegal immigrant housing. Crime going through the roof.
ReplyDeleteMilitary, aged Venezuelan everywhere, begging for money, and out on the streets.
Out here in Eastern colo we don't give a sheeit what the front range dictates anymore.Breaking laws is like counting scalps.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you that from 2007 to last week the price of a cremation has almost tripled. It cost me almost $1,700 CAD. If you're in the funeral business, you're probably living like a king, and there's no need to be defrauding anyone to do it. Especially in this era of so many people "dying suddenly of coincidence."
