EPISODE 95 - The House Of A Thousand Corpses part 1

The Tri-State Crematory was a family-run business that operated for over two decades, serving funeral homes in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Ray Brent Marsh, who took over the crematory from his father in the mid-1990s, was responsible for handling cremations. 
In February 2002, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received an anonymous tip regarding human remains being improperly disposed of at the Tri-State Crematory. A propane gas delivery driver also reported seeing a human body on the crematory's property. Authorities responded and made a grim discovery. Over 300 decaying bodies were found scattered on the grounds of the crematory in various stages of decomposition.

Some bodies were hidden in buildings, while others were left in the woods or dumped in pits. Despite having received bodies from families for cremation, Marsh had not cremated many of them. Instead, he returned boxes of cement powder or dirt to grieving families, leading them to believe they had received the ashes of their loved ones.
