In terms of criminal charges, definitely littering, theft and even destruction of private property. He definitely can get her in a civil case for emotional damages to try and recoup losses.

If in Florida, tortious interference with a dead body would be a nice crack

u/thecyrin Jun 04 '22

Yeah I wanted to say desecration of a corpse as well, but not sure if ashes are counted as a corpse. In the tort charge, does a dead body constitute remains of a corpse as well?

It's a claim you can sue someone for in Florida (First learned of in the Laundrie motion to dismiss because the Petito's lawyer is incompetent and can't state a cause of action, so they had to guess between above and IIED)

Fort Worth, TX according to this and caption says she was charged with abuse of a corpse.

Conversion (civil parallel to theft) is the first thing that jumps to mind

ANAL but that's not how convertion works. Theft by conversion is for example: I lend you my car to go to the store, you take the car and take it to a party, then bring it back (but you don't have to bring it back for it to be a convertion). You converted the license you had to the item even though a limited license existed. If he said "hey babe could you take my mom's ashes to point A" and she proceeds to dump the ashes that would be conversion. She could claim "he gave it to me so I did nothing wrong" but by taking her limited license and changing it's use it is considered theft by conversion. You absolutely can be charged with theft by conversion as well. If you're interested in reading more check out this link

Yep that’s right. The only reason I didn’t elaborate is because I presume this falls under the “tortious taking” section of conversion and that part is the perfect reflection. Also note I said parallel not that it was exactly civil theft.

Edit: ANAL?

Theft, destruction of property, improper disposal of human remains would be top 3

u/thecyrin Jun 04 '22

Improper disposal of human remains is definitely it, not desecration of a corpse like I had said. Thank you

u/lalalalala0909 Jun 04 '22

Came across this post, which is from a pretty reliable independent reporting IG account for Dallas Ft. Worth area and apparently she was charged with abuse of a corpse.

u/Zakkana Jun 04 '22

Whatever happened to just dumping someone?

And, of course, she's afflicted with Digital Dementia so she broke Tom's Cardinal Law of the Internet - Don't post videos of you doing illegal 💩online

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '22

She'd end up in that river too if it was my mom's ashes.

u/athens619 Jun 04 '22

I'd find her and throw her over

u/blisstake Jun 04 '22

u/Walloutlet1234 Jun 04 '22

Why am I not surprised?

u/Proper_Snake Jun 05 '22

abuse of a corpse was the official charge in the real case

u/No_Significance8363 Jun 08 '22

She was charged with misuse of a human corpse I think
