“On their way to dig up a grave in rural southwestern Wisconsin, the Grunke brothers and a friend stopped at a Wal-Mart to pick up some condoms, authorities said. Three days later, on Tuesday, twins Nicholas and Alexander Grunke, 20, and Dustin Radke, 20, were charged in Grant County with attempted theft — and attempting to have sex with a corpse. ‘In different schools that teach you about bizarre behavior, necrophilia is one of those things that you hear about, but never think you’ll have to deal with,’ said Grant County Sheriff Keith Grovier. A Cassville police officer arrived at the St. Charles Cemetery on Saturday night after a neighbor alerted police to suspicious activity, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday. The officer found an abandoned vehicle parked near the cemetery. Minutes later, the complaint stated, the officer saw Alexander Grunke walking toward the vehicle, dressed in black and sweating profusely. After being questioned, Grunke told the officer his brother and Radke were trying to dig up a grave, according to the complaint. The two drove into the cemetery to find the partially dug grave of a 20-year-old woman who was killed in a motorcycle accident Aug. 27 in Cassville. The diggers had only managed to reach the top of the grave’s concrete vault… The complaint said Radke told police that Nicholas Grunke had asked him to help dig up the Cassville woman’s body and take it to Grunke’s house, so that Grunke could have sex with it. On the way to the cemetery, Radke said, they stopped by a Dodgeville Wal-Mart to buy condoms ‘because Nick wanted to use them when he had sex with a corpse,’ the complaint added. Grovier said the three did not know the woman but had seen her picture in a newspaper obituary.” — Pioneer Press (US)

Usually you can go quite a long while between necrophilia stories, but lately there has been a relative abundance of them in the news. In the last month there were a case in Africa and another in Sweden that PervScan never had the chance to write up. Maybe Necrophilia Variations has kicked off an epidemic.

According to the web site of the Wisconsin court system, the Grunke twins have never been in more serious trouble than “underage drinking” and a speeding ticket. Check out their pictures on thesmokinggun.com — Nicholas has that dyed black hair, and his brother looks like an adolescent. Then look at Mr. Radke, who resembles a film major at some community college. He has a rather long rap sheet that begins in 2003 with loitering and moves on to include underage drinking, disorderly conduct, battery (dismissed), “display of power” (what’s that?), theft, resisting arrest, and numerous traffic violations. It’s not the worst rap sheet in the world, but it certainly paints the portrait of a hellion scuffling with the cops in a small town.

When you look at Nicholas Grunke’s mug shot, you can’t help but imagine that he has a MySpace page somewhere. You can see what it looks like — red type on a black background, some obscure death metal tune looping over and over. PervScan wasted a whole morning searching for it, to no avail. Then a thought slowly started to form: why would Nick Grunke have a MySpace page? The site is for social networking, making friends, scrounging up dates. Evidently Nick Grunke wasn’t into that. It was his idea to go graverobbing. Probably he would have preferred to dig up dates on the rather uncouth MyDeathSpace site, which serves as an obituary for MySpace users who’ve died.

And now that you’ve looked at the perps, have a look at the victim. Here is her picture and here is an obituary (scroll down the page). She was an attractive girl with pretty eyes. It’s easy to see why her picture might have jumped out of the local paper’s obits at Nick Grunke. You can imagine a conversation that starts as a joke and proceeds to an absurd reality. Nick: “Look at this girl.” Alex: “Wow. How’d she die?” Nick: “Motorcycle accident.” Dustin: “Too bad. She was so hot.” Nick: “I’d do her.” Alex: “You’d still do her.” Dustin: “Yeah man, the only way you’d get a girl this pretty is if you dug her up.” Nick: “Hmmm…”
