A Pennsylvania man is facing nearly 500 charges after authorities discovered more than 100 human skeletons in his home and storage unit, according to CBS News.
Jonathan Gerlach, 34, of Ephrata, was arrested on January 6, 2026, following a months-long investigation into grave robberies. Police say he stole remains from Mount Moriah Cemetery, bringing them home where investigators found bones stored on shelves, in boxes, and even mummified parts, including infant remains.
