Two women in Ohio have been arrested after they allegedly “propped up” the body of a dead man in their car and drove to his bank’s drive-thru ATM — where they made sure he was seen by tellers — and withdrew money from his account.

While the bizarre allegations may seem to come straight out of a macabre sequel to the movie “Weekend at Bernie’s,” Karen Casbohm, 63, and Loreen Bea Feralo, 55, are both facing multiple felonies for the alleged attempt to steal the dead man’s money. The duo was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with one count each of gross abuse of a corpse and theft from a person in a protected class, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

The investigation into the women began when officers with the Ashtabula, Ohio Police Department on Monday, March 4, responded to a call from the Ashtabula County Medical Center (ACMC) where staffers said that two unidentified women had just “dropped off” the body of a deceased elderly man, the department said in a news release.

The two women — later identified as Casbohm and Feralo — were said to have left almost immediately after leaving the body at the facility “without providing any information about the man or themselves.” However, a few hours later, one of the women called the hospital and told a staffer some personal information about the deceased man. Authorities were then able to identify the man as 80-year-old Douglas Layman of Ashtabula.

Officers were then dispatched to Layman’s home where they made contact with Casbohm and Feralo and interviewed them inside of the home.
