Officials sort through corpses
The Associated Press
NOBLE, Ga. — Distraught families began the wrenching task of trying to identify loved ones yesterday in this rural community where dozens of decomposing corpses were being removed from a crematory.
Authorities said they had recovered 97 bodies — including one infant — from storage sheds and scattered in woods behind Tri-State Crematory in this hamlet about 25 miles south of Chattanooga, Tenn.
The final toll is expected to be at least 200, said Dr. Kris Sperry, Georgia's chief medical examiner. Sixteen people have been identified so far. The discoveries began Friday when a woman walking her dog found a skull.
"We're just barely skimming the surface," Sperry said. "Some of the remains are mummified."
Officials requested federal assistance and equipment to help process the remains, a task that has overwhelmed local resources, Sperry said. Investigators believe the crematory had stacked the corpses for up to 15 years.
"They just piled them on top and then piled more on top. And then they just left them," Sperry said. "I wish we had a good explanation for this, but we don't."
Ine crematory's operator, Ray Brent Marsh, 28, was charged with five counts of theft by deception, a felony, for taking payment for cremations he didn't perform. Walker County and state authorities said other charges are likely against Marsh.
A magistrate released Marsh yesterday after he posted a $25,000 bond.
Officials, who have set up a morgue on the site, said they will also search Marsh's entire 16-acre property and a small adjoining lake.
When asked why the bodies had not been cremated, Marsh said the crematory incinerator was not working, Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead said Saturday.
Families on Sunday completed Red Cross paperwork to help identify the bodies and several dentists opened their offices to make dental records available.
Sperry said authorities suspect Marsh may have provided ashes from wood chips to clients as the remains of loved ones.
CORRECTION
A correction in Friday's Kansan incorrectly stated that misinformation about an accident in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street early last Wednesday morning came from a KU Public Safety officer. The misinformation came from a Lawrence Police Department officer.
CAMPUS CLAS to interview new dean candidates
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is searching for a new dean.
Four candidates will interview for the position in the largest school on campus. The candidates have scheduled visits to the University of Kansas from today through Monday, March 11.
The first candidate to visit the University is Kip Hodges, a professor of geology and former dean for undergraduate curriculum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. An open forum with Hodges will take place from 2:30 to 4 p.m. today at Alderdson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Students, faculty and staff are invited to attend.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the search committee would meet after all candidates had been interviewed and make a recommendation to Provost David Shulenburger. The interviews will be done by spring break.
Bretz said the provost would make the final decision on the new dean.

STATE
Senator urges leaders to remember heritage
TOPEKA—Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri told Kansas Democratic leaders they need to build on the party's heritage in the state.
"We are the party that dreams and dares and delivers," Carnahan said. "Democrats should be proud of our heritage, proud of who we are and proud of what we have accomplished."
Carnahan was the keynote speaker Saturday night at Washington Days, the annual celebration hosted by the Kansas Democratic Party. She spoke to about 400 Democrats.
