There is theft and there are really disturbing stories. There are times when the two collide. Such is the case in the macabre story out of Colorado.

A couple from Craig, Colorado suspected of pilfering the crime scene of the murder-suicide of a Denver father and son were arrested in a Spokane Valley, Wash., last week.  I mean who would do such a thing?  You want to talk about bad karma!

It is Even Worse

Kimberly Mae McCaffery, 35, allegedly used a hacksaw to cut off two fingers of 62-year-old William Ahrold's dead, frozen hand in order to steal the pistol police believe Ahrold used to kill his 9-year-old son, Jackson.

Her boyfriend, Jerod Morris Reeves, 29, is also charged with stealing the pistol, as well as Ahrold's wallet, credit cards, iPhone and gasoline from the Ahrolds' van.

Really Bad Apples

McCaffery and Reeves have a history of drug arrests in western Colorado. They were arrested together in Eagle County on possession of amphetamine, meth and drug making equipment in September. McCaffery had a court appearance scheduled last Wednesday, but she failed to appear, court records note.

On Dec. 13, the day the Ahrolds were reported missing, Reeves posted $5,000 bond in a Routt County case involving drugs and several traffic offenses.

In 2008, he lost custody of at least one child in Moffat County, records indicate. He was divorced there in 2002.

Court records also show that in 2001, Reeves was charged with kidnapping in relation to domestic violence.

Surveillance photos allegedly showing McCaffery and Reeves using Ahrold's credit cards put authorities on their cross-country trail last week.

Spokane Valley police said Saturday the FBI alerted their agency Friday afternoon that the couple was in the area, based on credit card use.

This eventually led officers to the Red Top Motel. Online reviews of the motel are consistently bleak, describing abandoned cars and cheap weekly rates. "All you see is prostitutes and meth users there 2 4/7," according to a review on Yahoo Travel.

Reeves told officers he sold the gun that McCaffery cut from William Ahrold's hand.

Reeves and McCaffery face charges of tampering with physical evidence, criminal possession of a financial device for the credit-card theft, first-degree criminal trespass and abuse of a corpse and other charges.

Really bad people doing really bad things. They need more than a theft class.They need major rehabilitation and punishment for their horrific acts.
