What a nice person he is.......misplacing bodies is one thing.....sometimes people get lost in the shuffle, that was bad but not horrible, but taking advantage of people in their most difficult and vulnerable time? Absolutely no excuse for it. He should be buried in an ant hill up to his neck. Some people are just plain awful, and apparently he is one of them.
