Woman gets more time in faked death, corpse case PDF Print E-mail

DILLON, S.C. (AP) — A Dillon County woman's guilty plea has ended a bizarre case where her husband dug up the remains of another woman and she put them in her car and set it on fire to fake her own death. Sandra Grice, 38, is already serving a 10-year sentence in Marion County for arson and desecration of human remains, along with federal prison time for a probation violation on a drug charge. Grice tried to fake her own death to avoid the federal sentence, authorities said.

"That is the weirdest case I've ever worked on," prosecutor Kernard Redmond said. "Everything ticked me off about this case."

Grice's husband dug up the body in October 2002. It was placed in her car along with Grice's identification and set on fire, prosecutors said.

Grice then called her family, telling them she had been in a wreck and she was trapped in her burning car, authorities said.

The scheme unraveled when an autopsy showed the remains in the front seat of the car died four years before the fire.

A judge last week sentenced Grice to years in prison on accessory before the fact of desecration of human remains and conspiracy charges. She will serve that sentence after her prison time for setting the fire is over.

Grice's husband, Willie, pleaded guilty to desecration of human remains, conspiracy and obstruction of justice. He was sentenced to five years in prison suspended to one year, plus two years probation. After he pays $525 to rebury the remains, his probation can be lifted.
