Grave Digger Pleads Guilty

Grave (dug up)

Michael Day, 38, has pleaded guilty to helping a woman ransack her father’s grave in search of his “real will.” 

Day, along with three others, conspired to raid the vault holding the remains of businessman Eddie Nash from a Colebrook cemetery last May.  Nash’s 53-year-old daughter, Melanie, is among those charged. 

Prosecutors in New Hampshire say that Day should have to volunteer at a cemetery as part of his sentence.
