Morgue worker admits to having sex with corpses

HAMILTON COUNTY, Ohio -- A man who worked at the county morgue for 16 years and is serving time for having sex with a corpse admitted on Monday to having sex with two more bodies during his employment.

Kenneth Douglas, 56, of Westwood, pleaded guilty to two counts of gross abuse of a corpse before visiting Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Niehaus. He could be imprisoned for a maximum of three years at his Dec. 10 sentencing.

Douglas was employed for 16 years, from 1976-1992, as a night attendant at the morgue. He told authorities previously that while there, he invited women in and partied with them with drugs and alcohol. He also admitted to having sex with bodies being stored while awaiting autopsies.

He is currently serving a three-year sentence for having sex with another corpse -that of Karen Range, an 18-year-old murder victim who was nearly beheaded in 1982 and had been in the morgue cooler for hours.

Douglas said nothing Monday except to give respectful, short answers to routine questions from the judge.

On Monday, Douglas admitted he had sex with the bodies of two homicide victims as they were awaiting autopsies:

- Charlene Edwards, 23, also known as Charlene Apling, who was strangled to death. He had sex with that body Oct. 1, 1991;

- Angel Hicks, 24, who was pushed from a third-story window and died from blunt trauma. He had sex with that body Dec. 8, 1991.

Douglas pleaded guilty without a plea deal. Assistant Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said his office would offer no deals to Douglas.

After Douglas pleaded guilty in 2008 to having sex with Range's corpse officials conducted an extensive investigation comparing Douglas' DNA to that of other bodies in the morgue during the time Douglas worked there.

Initially, officials feared there could be dozens of other victims, based on some of the stories Douglas told them. They were able to indict him on two additional charges.

“He told us he was out of control,” Prosecutor Joe Deters said in March after Douglas was indicted on the two charges he pleaded guilty to today.

“This is off-the-charts weird.”

Douglas was first caught when he violated his probation on a previous conviction, and his DNA was taken by officials and placed in a database. The database showed Douglas' DNA matched that of the semen left in Range's body.

That was good news for David Steffen, the man who spent 26 years on Ohio's death row for Range's murder but who insisted he never raped her. Now, Steffen's attorneys are using Douglas' acts to try to get Steffen off of death row.

This is just gross.

Makes you wonder how many other cases could be out there where a knucklehead either gets a bad guy off, or screws over a good guy...

I wonder if her pulled her hair and held her close and whispered in her ear, "You better not tell anyone b!t(h"...

I am just wondering...I don't condone this sort of activity.

As funny as 5 gallons of baby schit in a 2 gallon bucket.

(CNN) -- Police say guilt was written all over their faces.

Police received a call Friday night that two men with hooded sweatshirts and painted faces had tried to break into a man's home in Carroll, Iowa.

When police stopped a vehicle matching the caller's description blocks away, they were stunned by the men's disguises.

There were no ski masks or stockings pulled over their heads; instead, Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, streaked their faces with permanent black marker.
Carroll Police Chief Cayler told CNN the strange disguises made it easier for his officers.

"We're very skilled investigators and the black faces gave them right away," Cayler said jokingly. "I have to assume the officers were kind of laughing at the time. I've never heard of coloring your face with a permanent marker."

Cayler said police believe one of the alleged burglars targeted the home because he suspected his girlfriend had a relationship with the man who lived there.

"They probably were just not thinking straight and figured we'll go out and scare the guy or whatever," Cayler said. "[They were] being dumb and combine that with alcohol and it was the perfect storm."

Both men were charged with attempted burglary, and McNelly was charged additionally with operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Lawyers for the two men could not be reached for comment.

Cayler said he's been fielding calls about the case from news media outlets from all over the country -- mostly because of their funny-looking mug shots.

"I've been chief here almost 25 years, been with the department 28½ years and I've seen a lot of things that make me laugh and weird things but this was probably the best combination of the two -- strangely weird and hilariously funny all at the same time."

Committing crimes in blackface. Hilarious.
They look like what we'ld do to Joe's that passed out in our barracks room. KIWI'd!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH permanent marker!!1 Classic , the first guy tried to make his face look like KISS

The kid has a star on his cheek with marker. Why, oh why?
Someone's in need of shotgun-therapy.

Thats what happens when you try to apply KISS makeup while intoxicated!!

absolute azz clowns!!!

Nice dress, Principal Tredway

High-heeled Indiana educator in Halloween drunk driving bust

NOVEMBER 10--Meet Tracy Tredway. The Indiana elementary school principal was leaving a Halloween party at a bar when cops spotted him walking unsteadily. Which, of course, could have been on account of the high heels he was wearing along with a pink dress and wig.

But when Tredway, 43, got into his car and began weaving across the road, Argos Police Department officers quickly pulled over his vehicle. After failing field sobriety tests, Tredway was arrested November 1 on a misdemeanor drunk driving charge (his blood alcohol content was .188, more than twice the legal limit).

Tredway, pictured below in a Marshall County Sheriff's Office mug shot, has been placed on paid leave from his post heading Riddle Elementary School.

Police: Man Wearing Ladies' Swimsuit Exposes Himself



OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma City man is accused of exposing himself while wearing a women's bathing suit, pantyhose and makeup.

Phillip John Ortega, 56, was arrested early Monday morning on a complaint of indecent exposure. According to a police report, Ortega exposed himself to a woman who was standing on a porch near N. W. 98th Street and Indiana Avenue.

Terri Carter told police she was outside smoking a cigarette when she saw what she thought was a woman walking toward her. As the person got closer, she realized it was actually a man who was wearing a women's one-piece swimsuit, pantyhose and makeup.

The man kept asking "Where'd my friend go?" Carter said. She told him she didn't know what he was talking about and asked him to not get any closer. The man then pulled out his genitals and said, "Hey, look at this."

"This guy come up, I could tell it was a guy, but he was dressed up in like a woman's pink bathing suit with pantyhose and a white sweater and makeup looking like a woman, dressed like a woman. He come up, pulled out his thing and said 'here,'" Carter said.

Police searched the neighborhood and located Ortega a few blocks away. He matched the description and was later identified by the woman, according to the report.

Ortega remained in the Oklahoma County jail on Thursday afternoon.
