MILO, Maine -- A Milo man faces a charge of abuse of a corpse after police found him burning what are believed to be the remains of an infant, police said.

Ralph Disley, 46, was arrested Friday after police received a call from a resident who thought the remains of an infant were on Disley's property, said Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety.

When Maine State Police detectives arrived at Disley's Lyford Road home, they found him burning what appeared to be an infant's remains outside on his property, McCausland said.

A Milo man who originally was accused of abusing a corpse two years ago was ordered on Tuesday to pay the maximum fine after he pleaded guilty in Piscataquis County Superior Court to destroying evidence...

The remains of the infant were recovered on April 2, 2004, from a pile of burned debris in the backyard. Also living at the residence at the time was Disley’s wife, Kelly, and their two teenage daughters...

The state medical examiner was unable to determine whether the infant was born alive or its gender... It also was never determined if the baby was related to someone living in the house.
