Funeral home of horrors: Owners arrested after 190 rotting corpses found

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Authorities on Wednesday arrested the owners of a southern Colorado funeral home after discovering 190 decaying, improperly stored bodies at their facility—a discovery made only after reports of a putrid smell seeping from the facility.

The Hallfords were arrested without incident on four felony charges: abuse of a corpse, theft, money laundering, and forgery.

The probable cause affidavit is sealed, but Allen told reporters at a press conference Wednesday that he would not contest releasing it to the public at a later date, according to NPR.

In early October, reports of a stench brought authorities to the Hallfords' property in Penrose, Colorado, which is about 100 miles south of Denver in Fremont County.

In an October 6 press conference, Fremont County Sheriff Allen Cooper called the findings in the facility "horrific" and "very disturbing."

Jared Polis issued a verbal disaster declaration, and local, state, and federal authorities were brought in to help, NPR notes.
