Kansas Couple Charged with Collecting Relative's Retirement Funds While Living with Corpse

A Kansas couple has been charged with fraudulently collecting over $215,000 in retirement benefits on behalf of a deceased relative whose body was found mummified in their home six years after his death. Prosecutors allege that Lynn Ritter and Kirk Ritter continued to deposit and spend from the deceased's bank account while concealing his body, and family members were misled into believing he was still alive. The couple is set to appear in federal court to face multiple charges.
