SEPTEMBER 6--When Nicholas Grunke last week spotted a newspaper photo of Laura Tennessen, the Wisconsin man apparently became so smitten that he plotted a rendezvous with the 20-year-old woman. But the photo Grunke saw accompanied an August 29 obituary of Tennessen, who died in a motorcycle accident. Undeterred, Grunke allegedly plotted with his twin brother Alex and a friend, 20-year-old Dustin Radke, to rob Tennessen's grave so that he could have sex with her corpse. Details of the trio's degenerate scheme are contained in a criminal complaint filed yesterday in Grant County Circuit Court. A copy of the document can be found here. In a police interview, Radke said that he and the Grunke brothers stopped at a Wal-Mart to buy condoms on their way to the cemetery. The necrophilia plot was disrupted Saturday night when police received a report of a suspicious vehicle near St. Charles Cemetery in Cassville, where Tennessen is buried. When confronted by a cop, an "very nervous" Alex Grunke admitted to the grave robbing scheme, noting that his cohorts were then digging up Tennessen's coffin. When police arrived at the gravesite, Nicholas Grunke and Radke were gone, though cops noticed that a hole had been dug down to the concrete vault encasing the woman's coffin, according to the complaint. Nicholas Grunke and Radke were later arrested while walking about eight miles from the cemetery. The men are each facing sexual assault and theft charges that could land them in prison for more than five years. Though bail has been set at $1000 apiece for the Grunke brothers and $1500 for Radke, the men remain in custody at the Grant County Jail, where the below mug shots were snapped. Pictured from top to bottom are Nicholas Grunke, his brother Alex, and Radke.
Okay.. I'm gonna go there... this bunch looks like they would have a hard time getting it from a live female. Still, that does not make acceptable molesting the dead. That poor girl probably had a bad enough death from what the story said. Being defiled by this crew would make anyone want to come back and haunt.

You know I've always wondered about that in morgues. There's so many sickos out there, I have to wonder what's been done to some corpses late at night when it's just the corpse and a lonely mortician
There are some for sure sickos out there in this world. Remember that story about the crematorium in I think it was Georgia where the guy who ran it didn't get his oven(?) fixed, so instead he was dumping bodies somewhere close by and giving phoney ashes to the families? My dad was so paranoid about that happening to him. He obsessed on that idea for months. It was so bad that when he finally did pass away he had my brother all neurotic about it. He wanted me to go with him to the local crematory to make sure they really did cremate dad... he even wanted to see if he could push the button to start up the fire. I told him he was sick and wrong.
I can't imagine how bad it would have been if dad was concerned about being defiled too!
