A Michigan morgue employee was caught trying to burglarize the home of a deceased person in suburban Detroit, police said.
"We recognized that it was the house we were at, the day before, for a death investigation," police Chief Everette Robbins said. The day before, on Valentine's Day, officers were at the home in the Huron Estates Mobile Home Park for a natural-cause death. Franklin-Smith allegedly told police he was at the home on the day of the death as well.
Carnell Franklin-Smith was caught trying to burglarize a home a day he had previously visited while working for a company that subcontracts with the Wayne County Morgue, police said. "He works for a company that subcontracts with the Wayne County Morgue," Robbins said."That company he is subcontracted to comes in and respectfully removes someone who is deceased, and transports them to the Wayne County Morgue."
"What more a crime of opportunity, to be able to have access to a home, know the resident is deceased, interview and talk to the family and ultimately be able to scope out inside the residence, to see what you want to come and take the next day," he said. Both suspects allegedly told investigators they owned a business called"No Evidence" and that they were at the home to clean it despite not having cleaning supplies.
