Alleged tomb-raiding trio arrested in cross-country cemetery spree 'to steal from the dead,' police say

Three individuals from Indiana, Drake Lee Milam, Angela Christine Garrett, and Porsche Roschell Bancroft, are accused of conducting a cross-country cemetery theft operation, targeting mausoleum niches containing cremated remains and stolen jewelry left as memorials. Authorities report 20 confirmed cases in Florida alone, with suspicions of many more undetected incidents. The suspects allegedly broke into niches across multiple states, including Oklahoma, Minnesota, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina, and New York. Milam and Garrett were arrested in Indiana, while Bancroft surrendered in Florida. All three face charges such as disturbing graves, grand theft, and damaging tombs. Law enforcement is urging the public to inspect local cemeteries for signs of tampering.
