Hope they are found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
So sad the disrespect for the deceased.

Old news. That article hasn't had any comments for over 2 years.
What has happened since this article was published in 2013?
I'm aware it happened a few years ago. It's an issue worth discussing and one that happens frequently. So, "old news" or not, I'll continue posting links to topics and articles I believe are relevant to genealogists.
I'm thankful that you continue posting links to topics and articles that may be relevant to genealogists. Thank you and keep at the good work. I never heard of this before, although I've heard of other similar stories of the disrespect at cemeteries with damage to headstones, etc. Needless to say that I'm shocked and outraged to know that people would go to this extreme. Why?! There is no need for this. Also, you've made it possible to inform others that may not be aware of items like this. Are there any updates to this particular article?
Thanks G. Cappello - I think news is valuable, even "old" news, as it affects us today. I have looked for an update on the cemetery and have not been able to find anything. I will post any updates if found.
