From WISC.TV:
The three men arrested for allegedly digging up the grave of a woman who died last week in Grant County are also charged with attempted sexual assault.
The three men appeared in Grant County Circuit Court on Tuesday. According to a criminal complaint, the three men were charged with digging up the grave at the St. Charles Catholic Cemetery in Cassville with the intent to have sex with the victim’s body, WISC-TV reported.
Alexander Grunke, his twin brother Nicholas Grunke and their friend Dustin Radke — all 20 years old — have been in a Grant County jail since Saturday.
The grave that the men are accused of trying to dig up belonged to Laura Tennessen, 20, of Cassville, who was buried last week after being killed in a motorcycle crash on Aug. 27.
The men were formally charged with attempted theft and attempted third degree sexual assault.
Radke allegedly confessed and said that the incident was an elaborate plan to have sex with the corpse. He told authorities that Nicholas Grunke asked him to help dig up Tennessen’s grave and take the corpse back to a pre-selected location behind his house with the intent to have sex with her, WISC-TV reported.
Authorities said that Radke said that the three stopped at the Wal-Mart in Dodgeville on their way to the cemetery and bought condoms.
If the three men are convicted, they could face more than five years behind bars for both the misdemeanor theft and the attempted sexual assault, which is a felony, WISC-TV reported.
They stopped at Wal-Mart to buy condoms? Geez.
The men had seen an obituary of Tennessen with her photo and wanted to dig up her body to have sexual intercourse. They abandoned their plan and were eventually arrested after a vehicle drove into the cemetery and reported suspicious behavior.
Laura J. Tennessen was a beautiful human that was killed.
Alexander Grunke, his twin brother Nicholas Grunke, and their friend Dustin Radke are non-humans.
This story was from September 6, 2006. Now we learn that the three men have been released because Wisconsin has no law against necrophilia, an appeals court ruled. Just damn.
Sen. Dale Schultz (R-Richland Center) has since introduced legislation that would make having sex with a corpse a felony with punishment of up to 6 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The bill would levy the same penalties against anyone who intentionally disturbs a burial site or a buried human corpse.
Laura J. Tennessen is safe in Heaven now, because I believe Satan has a most special place in Hell for those that would dig up a corpse for the purpose of sex.
