Colorado funeral home owners who abandoned bodies spent cremation, burial money on vehicles, $1,500 dinner
Fox News
Jon and Carie Hallford, the Colorado funeral home owners accused of abandoning 190 bodies, allegedly used families' payments for burials and cremations to make lavish purchases.
Adam Steigerwald, Jon's lawyer, argued that the prosecution has not proven the money from their business account was spent to conceal the source of the funds, meaning it does not fit the crime of money laundering. He also said the couple used money from the federal Small Business Administration to buy the Yukon.
Cohen said the money – which they received as an adjustment to a pandemic-era small business loan – used to buy the Yukon was obtained fraudulently after Jon lied and said he was not behind on child support payments.
