4 charged with digging up graves and reselling the plots

         I was speaking with my boyfriends grandma and she had brought up this story that had happened back in 2009. I decided to read up on it and was very disgusted. There were 4 individuals-cemetery manager Carolyn Towns; foreman Keith Nicks; dump-truck operator Terrence Nicks; and backhoe operator Maurice Dailey who were all charged and convicted for their roles in the macabre scheme. These individuals dug up dead bodies and dumped the dead bodies behind the cemetery to be able to resell the plots to make more money. Not only did they dig up dead bodies they were burying people on top of other people. This happened at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, IL. I do not understand on how people can be in the right mind set to be able to do something that sickening to other families. Those people really thought that they would be able to get away with something that terrible. I feel so sorry for those family members who had to face such a horrible situation like that, and have their own family members be disturbed at rest. I had read another article and it had said that all of the bodies that were dumped are getting put back into the ground.
