Two co-owners of a Colorado funeral home where around 190 decomposing bodies were found last year pleaded guilty Thursday to federal fraud charges, officials said.
Some of the remains found were of people who died in 2019, four years earlier, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
The Hallfords also admitted to Covid relief fraud of around $800,000, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
The funeral home where the remains were found was later demolished, NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver reported at the time.
Attorneys listed as representing Jon Hallford and Carie Hallford did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday evening.
