Two plead guilty in Buhne Crypt vandalism case PDF Print E-mail

Eureka, California Eureka residents Marsha Markussen and Daniel Malin both entered guilty pleas to vandalizing a crypt and disturbing a corpse Monday afternoon. They are scheduled to be sentenced June 29.
Earlier this year, Markussen and Malin were charged with removing human remains from a place of interment and vandalizing and desecrating a tomb or gravestone. The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred Jan. 24, when the Buhne Crypt in the cemetery in Myrtletown was vandalized.

On the weekend of Feb. 10, an informant came forward and told Eureka Police Department detectives that the skull found in Cooper Gulch Jan. 29 had been taken from the crypt.

The skull belonged to the remains of Kenneth Newett Jr., who served as Humboldt County District Attorney in 1914 and died in June of that year from complications from surgery.

At the time of his death, Newett, 49, had been married since 1910 to Sophie Buhne, one of Hans Buhne’s daughters, Jager said.

Markussen and Malin were conditioned on grants of felony probation, meaning they won’t have to go to prison at the outset. They will remain in custody until sentencing.
