Necrophilia motivated man to kill stepdaughterEASTON, Penn. – Necrophilia motivated a man to fatally shoot his stepdaughter last month, according to a Pennsylvania prosecutor. Gregory Graf (above left) recorded himself sexually assaulting the body of Jessica Padgett (right), Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said Friday. The video was discovered a day earlier on Graf's computer.
Padgett, 33, was last seen alive Friday, November 21, when she left work at a day care center. Graf was arrested five days later after police found her body buried behind a shed on the property where he lives with Padgett's mother.
Graf, 53, is being held without bail on a homicide charge. The fencing company owner confessed to killing Padgett, a recently married mother of three, according to Morganelli.
The victim's family said in a statement last month that Padgett "was a beautiful, vibrant young woman who was beloved by her family and friends. The world shines less bright today."
Graf applied for a public defender, saying in court Friday that he didn't want to burden his family financially. A judge turned him down, ruling he had enough money to pay for his own defense.
Morganelli said Graf will also be charged with abuse of a corpse.Source: Associated Press, December 8, 2014.

So he killed his daughter-in-law because he was a necrophiliac? There's more to this story than that. If he was in such a frenzy for a dead woman, why not steal one from the funeral home, or do like Ed Gein and dig up a newly buried corpse?

I'm with you, Catherine, there's more to this than has been publicized. That's one of the most dumbassed excuses I've ever heard for killing someone.

Funeral home corpse would be cold. A fresh corpse would be warmer and more pliable.

Necrophiliacs don't want warm bodies, they want them cold and dead. If he wanted a warm woman, he could have just drugged her with GHB, or fed her a handful of sleeping pills in food. That way, she would have passed out, he could have had his way with her, she wouldn't have known what happened and he wouldn't be charged with murder.

Being a first timer he didn't know the rules of necrophilia. *makes a silly face*
Maybe he thought there would be cameras at the funeral homes. They are certainly popping up every where.

I doubt that he's a first time necrophiliac because he's too old. This is probably just the first time he's been caught. He actually videotaped himself having sex with the corpse and now he's hired a high priced lawyer in the area to defend him.

I wonder if she rejected his advances, and that is why he killed her instead of finding himself the corpse of some random woman to sexually assault.
