A Pennsylvania man has been accused again of stealing a human skull and bones from a cemetery crypt.
The Times-Leader of Wilkes-Barre reports Geasey had been charged in a similar incident at the same cemetery in 1998. Police at the time said the bones were used for satanic rituals.
Geasey now about 100 miles away in Hanover, York County. He was jailed in Luzerne County on assault allegations when authorities filed charges Wednesday including abuse of a corpse, burglary and institutional vandalism.
It was not clear if he had an attorney.
The raided crypt belonged to Louise Bana Kidder, who died Dec. 31, 1926.
