Bones - Jonathan Christian Gerlach

from True Crimecast Hosted by Stove Leg Media

In January 2026, Pennsylvania police conducting surveillance at a historic cemetery spotted a man emerging from the shadows with a crowbar and a burlap bag. What was inside that bag launched an investigation into what authorities called "a horror movie come to life." This episode of True Crime To-Go digs into the macabre case of Jonathan Christian Gerlach. We explore the discovery of over 100 human remains—including skulls, mummified limbs, and even an active pacemaker—hidden in a basement and a storage unit. It’s a story of graveyard desecration on an industrial scale and a man who treated a 200-year-old cemetery like his personal warehouse. -- For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!
