Police: Women Use Dead Body to Withdraw Cash at U.S. Bank
Two women are facing felony charges after allegedly using their deceased roommate’s body to withdraw cash from his U.S. Bank account. The incident occurred in Cleveland, Ohio, when Karen Casbohm and Loreen Feralo discovered their 80-year-old roommate, Douglas Layman, dead in their house.
Unusual and Unfortunate Situation
Karen Casbohm and Loreen Feralo reportedly came up with a plan to take advantage of their deceased roommate’s bank account. They decided to drive Layman’s body to the bank in order to carry out the withdrawal. They propped Layman’s body in the front seat of their car and went through the bank’s drive-through knowing that the presence of the deceased victim would allow them to make the withdrawal.
Successful Withdrawal and Hospital Drop-Off
The women were successful in withdrawing $900 from Layman’s account using this method. After completing the transaction, they dropped off Layman’s body at a nearby hospital. The authorities have not disclosed any information about why they chose to drop off the body or what happened next.
Felony Charges and Potential Prison Sentence
Karen Casbohm and Loreen Feralo are now facing felony charges of theft and gross abuse of a corpse. Prosecuting Attorney Cecilia Cooper has stated that although the three individuals lived together, they are not related. Each charge carries a potential one-year prison sentence.
Ongoing Investigation
The police investigation is still ongoing, and authorities have not ruled out the possibility of filing additional charges against Casbohm and Feralo. This bizarre incident has been described by Police Chief Robert Stell as an unusual and unfortunate situation. Stell, who has 28 years of experience in law enforcement, states that he has never seen anything quite like this before.
Hot Take: Using a Dead Body for Financial Gain is Shocking and Morally Wrong
It is shocking and morally wrong for individuals to use a dead body for their financial gain. This incident highlights the lengths some people are willing to go to exploit others, even in the most extreme circumstances. The actions of Karen Casbohm and Loreen Feralo demonstrate a complete disregard for the dignity and respect that should be afforded to the deceased. It is important for justice to be served in this case to send a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated.
