Shinnston widow maker body snatching case shocks town
Police traced a burned car to Royal Chrysler in Shinnston and linked it to a plot to fake a death. The corpse was embalmed, with two gasoline cans found inside, and a scheme led by Jerry Miller to stage an accident for financial relief. Several suspects, including Molisee Johnson and Wiant, faced arson and disinterment charges as investigations continued.
