Pennsylvania Man Charged with Over 450 Counts After 100+ Human Remains Found
A 34-year-old man, Jonathan Gerlach, from Ephrata, Pennsylvania, was arrested on Tuesday after authorities found more than 100 full or partial sets of human remains in his home, a storage unit, and his vehicle. Police observed bones and skulls in plain view as he left Mount Moriah Cemetery near Philadelphia carrying a burlap bag and crowbar. Human Remains District Attorney Tanner Rouse…
Horror in Pennsylvania..
Jonathan Gerlach allegedly has an Instagram account by the username “deadshitdaddy” with the subtitle “Ledger of the Dead”. On the page he claims he is a private consultant conducting “provenance & forensic documentation of human remains”
Court records revealed that Gerlach allegedly stole supplies from a local hardware store to dig up graves, open caskets, and even repel using rope down in to a mausoleum. There are also allegations that Gerlach was in part, openly advertising the sale of the bones online, including Facebook Marketplace.
The investigation began in November when people reported missing remains from the cemetery. The investigation gained traction when an anonymous tip gave police info. The tipster claimed to have been inside the home and witnessed dead bodies hanging from the ceiling. The tipster also said that Gerlach traveled as far as Chicago to deliver bones to a customer.
Police set up undercover surveillance at Mount Moriah Cemetery in Yeadon and caught Gerlach in the act.
According to court documents, investigators recovered more than 100 human skulls, long bones, and mummified human feet and hands from his basement. Eight corpses, along with body parts, ashes, jewelry and clothing believed to have been taken from graves, were found inside the storage unit.

Police say Gerlach targeted mausoleums and underground vaults at the 1855 cemetery. It's considered the country’s largest abandoned burial ground, according to Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery, which helps maintain the 160-acre landmark in Yeadon that's home to an estimated 150,000 grave sites.
Police say the investigation remains active. Authorities are urging anyone with loved ones buried at Mount Moriah Cemetery who has concerns to contact Yeadon Borough Police.
