Police Beat: Police Say Woman Dug Up Boyfriend's Remains, Drank His Beer

Bill says:
Hell, I’d dig up twenty corpses for a cold Schlitz beer! I think that his family was pissed that when they went to dig up the beer it was gone, understandable as their anger may be, I really think the girl was in the right here. I mean after ten years, if the family was going to make a beer run, they really should have done it sooner. If I park my car out on Woodward Ave. for ten years, I would be a fool to expect it to still be there!
The family should be ashamed to press charges on a grieving girlfriend.
That’s just heartless!

PORTAGE, Wis. -- It's a case that a Wisconsin detective calls twisted and bizarre.
Karen Stolzmann was busted this week, accused of digging up her boyfriend's ashes from a cemetery more than a decade ago, along with the cigarettes and beer that were buried with him.
Sheriff's deputies in Columbia County say the now-44-year-old woman drank the beer, possibly out of spite for his family. Her boyfriend committed suicide in 1992.
His family contacted police three weeks ago after learning his remains had been stolen. Stolzmann has been charged with concealing stolen property.
