Husband Kept Wife’s Body for Months | Louisville News

A chilling case from Radcliff: John Emrich, a husband, has been indicted for allegedly keeping his wife’s decomposing body in their home for months—possibly since February. Deputies responded to a welfare check in June after no contact from the family; Emrich confessed to her death. The scene was horrific, with the body severely decayed and preserved with cleaner, possibly to continue collecting her Social Security. Investigators suspect he hid her death to keep receiving benefits. Neighbors say they barely saw the couple. Emrich’s bond is $5,000 cash, with court set for September 8th—a case that’s left even seasoned officers stunned.
