METTER, Ga. — A Georgia funeral home direct⛄or is accused of leaving human remai🀅ns in a shed behind his Metter business.
Th๊e Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the state Bureau of Investigation bel🍎ieves 70-year-old Percy Hodges was storing the bodies until they were claimed or funeral arrangements were made.
Hodges told authorities the bodies were st🌟ored in the 1980s or 1990s. The GBI is now𓄧 asking for information on the bodies identified as Theresa McClarin, Leroy Dixon and Mamie Fredricks.
The GBI says a crew removing the shed last month found two containers and a casket that they tried to sell at a scrap yard. But one item opened while being offloaded and revealed human bones. Hodges was arrested Thursday on charges including abandoning dead bodies. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.
