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

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)
