Two Ohio women propped up a dead man in the passenger seat of his car this week and drove to the bank, where they withdrew money from his account, and then dropped his body off at a hospital.

Karen Casbohm, 63, and Loreen Bea Feralo, 55, have been charged with gross abuse of a corpse and theft, WYFF reported.

Ashtabula Police said they were were called by the Ashtabula County Medical Center after the women dropped off the body, but they left without identifying the man or themselves. Hours later, one of the women called the hospital, and the dead man was identified as Douglas Layman, 80.

Lt. Mike Palinkas said that one of the women was in a live-in relationship with Layman,

The women told officers it was normal for them to go to the bank to take out money from his account, so when News 5 asked Palinkas why the women went to the bank before dropping his dead body off at the hospital, Palinkas said they didn’t receive a full explanation besides this:

“Allegedly, they wanted to pay some bills but outside of that, there wasn’t a specific motivation provided,” said Palinkas.

“Allegedly, one of the females was in a relationship with him for about 7 to 8 years and then moved in shortly after they entered into a relationship. The other female moved in a couple months ago and was just staying there,” said Palinkas.

The women found Layman dead on Monday and called a friend to help them get him into his car and then drove to the bank. They told police that they would routinely go to the bank to take money from Layman’s account and that the bank typically let them do it as long as he was in the car.

Palinkas said they didn’t wholly explain why they went to the bank, withdrew “an undisclosed amount of money,” and then drove to the hospital.

“Allegedly, they wanted to pay some bills but outside of that, there wasn’t a specific motivation provided,” he said.

Casbohm was arraigned this week and given a $5,000 bond. Feralo is scheduled for arraignment next week. Police said further charges are possible but that an autopsy to determine the cause of Layman’s death may take up to eight months.
