For sale online from "deadshitdaddy" Gerlach

(BorisT.) Metalhead Jonathan Gerlach, 34, from Ephrata, Pennsylvania, arrested for stealing more than 100 human remains in repeated burglaries from a historical graveyard named Mount Moriah Cemetery in Yeadon Borough and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Yuck! Did he also listen to pop or rap or ska?

Metal leads to madness and disinterring corpses? It might for some given the lyrics of such bands as Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Exhumed, Avenged Sevenfold, Septic Flesh, and even old-time punk rockers T.S.O.L. It may start as a joke -- or hardcore fandom/fanaticism about horror movies -- but who knows who might take it literally or as a suggestion?

Gerlach, as passionate as a ghoul about death

WIKI: In January 2026, Jonathan Gerlach of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged with burglary, abuse of a corpse, and the desecration and theft of venerated objects stolen from Mount Moriah Cemetery. Authorities had been investigating vandalism and theft of 26 mausoleums and underground vaults from the cemetery that began in fall 2025. Gerlach was caught leaving the cemetery at night with a sack containing the mummified remains of two children, three skulls, and various loose bones. An investigation of his house in Ephrata revealed over 100 pieces of human bones stolen from the cemetery (Source: Man stole hundreds of skulls and bones from Mount Moriah Cemetery, authorities say).
