Complaint: Sex with body motive for grave digging

Three men charged with attempting to rob a grave Saturday in Cassville were doing so because one of the men had seen the dead woman's obituary photo and wanted to have sex with her body, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Grant County Circuit Court.

 

The men had stopped at a Wal-Mart and bought condoms before heading to the cemetery, police said.

 

"One of the crimes we study in abnormal criminal behavior is necrophilia. I guess that would be the motive," Grant County Sheriff Keith Govier said Tuesday, adding that he had never before dealt with such a case.

 

Govier said the men apparently didn't know the dead woman.

 

"They just saw her obituary picture in the newspaper," he said.

 

Cassville Police Officer Brent McDonald was sent to St. Charles Cemetery in Cassville about 11 p.m. Saturday on a citizen's report of a suspicious vehicle.

 

McDonald found Alex Grunke, 20, of Ridgeway, dressed in black.

 

Grunke was "extremely nervous" and "sweating on a very cool night," McDonald said in an interview. Grunke told McDonald that two other men were in the cemetery digging up the grave of Laura Tennessen, 20, who died Aug. 27 after being thrown from the back of a motorcycle.

 

At Tennessen's grave, officers found a hole that uncovered the concrete vault that encases the coffin. The two men were gone.

 

Sunday morning, Nicholas Grunke, 20, of Ridgeway, and Dustin Radke, 20, of Dodgeville, were found walking along Highway 81 in Beetown, about eight miles from the cemetery. The Grunkes are twin brothers.

 

Each man was charged with being party to attempted third- degree sexual assault and being party to attempted misdemeanor theft. Bond was set at $1,000 each for the Grunke brothers and $1,500 for Radke.

 

According to the complaint, Radke told police that Nicholas Grunke asked him to help dig up the grave so that Grunke could take the corpse behind his house in Ridgeway and have sexual intercourse with the body. On the way to the cemetery, the men stopped at the Dodgeville Wal-Mart and bought condoms, Radke told police.

 

Govier said he spoke with members of the Tennessen family about the incident.

 

"I can't come to the word to describe (what they're going through)," he said. "Having to put their daughter to rest, and then having to deal with this. It opens up wounds that I don't know anybody could experience."

 

The Rev. John Norder, Laura Tennessen's priest at St. Charles Catholic Church, said she was the type of person who was always smiling and never judged others.

 

"She always said, 'You know, you never know what people have been through in their lives.' (She was) a really good kid."

 

Staff reporters Deborah Ziff and Patricia Simms contributed to this report.

And here's a picture of our merry necrophilliacs

From the picture that I saw of her, the intended victim was pretty hot before she died.

 

Not hot enough to fuck a few days after death, but plenty hot none-the-less.

Just for the sake of completeness and not because I'm some weirdo, the obit photo:

Who'd hit it?

Minus a couple days worth of rot...yeah, she was pretty.

 

And those three look like the type that have to resort to that

[Guest Felonies!]

Wisconsin creepiness strikes again!

He'd hit it

Beware of people with surnames ending in ke. For my own amusement, I've decided to convince myself Nicholas and Alexander are not related.

She looks better as a zombie.

How can they be charged with sexual assault.

My favorite paragraph:

 

According to the complaint, Radke told police that Nicholas Grunke asked him to help dig up the grave so that Grunke could take the corpse behind his house in Ridgeway and have sexual intercourse with the body. On the way to the cemetery, the men stopped at the Dodgeville Wal-Mart and bought condoms, Radke told police.

 

1) They bought rubbers.

 

2) Those two agreed to dig up the body for the one guy to have sex with.

 

3) The corpse was going to be brought back to Grunke's house. (I think his parents' house would be a more accurate description.)

 

4) Even with the chick dead, she's still probably better than any of those three could hope for.

 

5) I wonder if their defense lawyer will say the WWE Katie Vick storyline made them do this?

So then I said, "Tell my DOCTOR? If I had an erection for eight hours, I'd tell EVERYONE!"

[Guest NYankees]

Why did they buy condoms? Were they afraid of getting her pregnant or turning into a zombie themselves?

[Guest Vitamin X]

Those three look like manga dorks.

[Guest Felonies!]

Dustin Radke has the same facial hair as Minnesota Twins star pitcher Brad Radke.

 

Brad Radke = corpsefucker

This story is awful and makes he hate people. Really.....if you're that horny, just fuck each other.

 

I did laugh a little at these idiots buying condoms, though.

How can they be charged with sexual assault.

 

Dead chicks can't say yes.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

They don't say no, either.

 

More wacky (alleged) sex stories from the Cheese State:

 

Complaint: 11-Year-Old Milwaukee Girl Gang-Raped By 15 To 20

 

MILWAUKEE -- A children's court prosecutor said that Milwaukee police are still trying to find all the individuals involved in the apparent gang rape of an 11-year-old girl.

 

A 16-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy have been charged in the assault.

 

Criminal complaints said that the young girl was repeatedly assaulted by up to 19 boys in a north side home on Monday night as the 16-year-old girl told her what sex acts to perform.

 

The complaints filed in Milwaukee County Children's Court said that a 40-year-old relative of the 16-year-old also participated in the assault.

 

Assistant District Attorney Matthew Torbeson said that the victim has said 15 to 20 individuals were involved in the assault.

 

Torbeson said that the man is the uncle of the 16-year-old.

 

The prosecutor said that he will likely ask that the 15- and 16-year-olds be waived to adult court.

For all of you who said you are great best friends, ask yourself this important question: If your buddy asked you to help dig up a corpse so he could have sex with it, would you?

 

True friendship, it lives in Wisconsin.

If your buddy asked you to help dig up a corpse so he could have sex with it, would you?

 

Only if the corpse had a hot friend that puts out.

I just noticed in the topic...can anyone think up any other reason for three guys to dig up a corpse? Seems like a pretty obvious motive right there.

Only if he lets me go at it first. I don't want sloppy seconds.

You can always DP her.

[Maztinho 0]

I would imagine that they bought condoms so that they wouldn't leave DNA in the body.

 

And she looks cute. Shame she'll be famous because some dudes wanted to bang her corpse.
