The Case of Jonathan Gerlach


Listen Later

This week, Drewby and Yergy do something a little different... We'll be discussing the case of 34-year-old Jonathan Gerlach of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, who was arrested in January 2026 for allegedly stealing human remains from the historic Mount Moriah Cemetery. Investigators discovered over 100 sets of human remains, including skulls and mummified parts, at his home and storage unit. He faces hundreds of criminal counts, including burglary, abuse of a corpse, and desecration of public monuments, and is currently held on $1 million bail.


Note: Yes, I know we're pronouncing "Gerlach" wrong. We noticed after the fact while we were already away. We'd normally just re-record those parts, but we don't have the set up to do that overseas. This is why I probably shouldn't write or record with an active fever ever again... Oops. Since he's the perp, I think we should just call him "Jonathan Grossguy."
