There was a woman who went missing from Greeley CO many years ago. LE knew her ex-husband was a stalker/peeper and probably killed her but only recently arrested him. He confessed and led them to her body, which he disposed of in a fresh grave at a nearby cemetery. I don’t think he had prior cemetery experience other than living near one and observing how they operated.Wow. I wish I could remember more specifics but I read a "true crime" book many years ago that discussed the problem serial killers have of disposing of bodies. There was a killer in Providence, RI (I recall this detail because at the time I read the book I had recently been to a burial in Providence) who grew up next to a cemetery who realized the graves were dug late in the afternoon for the burials the next day. When he started killing he would take his victims to the cemetery, put them in the freshly dug grave, and cover them with an inch of dirt. The next morning a coffin would be lowered onto the body he was trying to conceal. No evidence ever connected him to the bodies, he was only caught because he confessed.
If anyone here remembers the case and names, please chime in. There is probably a thread here, but it was before my time. Thanks!
