Delahay’s 61-year-old granddaughter, Cynthia Carolyn Black, allegedly told police she kept her grandma’s corpse because the family needed the money from her Social Security checks.

She also claimed she had moved the freezer to Dillsburg, more than 100 miles west of Ardmore, in 2007, the Patriot-News reported, citing state police.

Police discovered the body in February 2019 while responding to a report regarding human remains inside a Warrington Township home.

Black was arrested Tuesday and taken into custody at the York County Judicial Center, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. It was unclear whether she has an attorney who could speak on her behalf.

Black is facing charges of abuse of a corpse, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 10.
