S=NEW STORY Robbers steal 75-year-old corpse PARKERSBURG, W.Va. - Robbers dug open a 75-year-old grave and made off with the coffin, body and tombstone, Wood County sheriff's deputies said. "I've never seen anything like this before," Cpl. Harold Phillips said. "All they left was a hole where the grave had been." Mountwood Park cemetery officials discovered the theft Friday. Cpl. Phillips said the grave dated to 1917. "We've had reports of vandalism, with tombstones and graves being knocked over and a few with tombstones missing, but never a report where everything was missing," said Chief Deputy Dale Wilcox. "Personally, I think this is pretty sick." Police did not reveal the name of the person who was buried in the grave. This article is copyright 1992 The Washington Times.
