A 91-year-old woman who stored the corpses of her husband and twin sister on her property will be allowed to keep them if she installs a crypt, a prosecutor in northern Pennsylvania said.
Jean Stevens plans to build a crypt on her property outside Wyalusing, Bradford County District Attorney Daniel Barrett said Tuesday.
Stevens says she kept the embalmed bodies of her husband and twin because she wanted to be able to see them and talk to them. She also says she's claustrophobic and couldn't stand the thought of her loved ones in a casket in the ground.
The bodies were discovered in mid-June. Authorities haven't yet released the identities of those who retrieved them. A decision on charges could be made as early as Friday, Barrett said.
