Tomb Raiders Wanted For Multi-State Spree, Including Iowa

Deputies in Florida are looking for information regarding some suspects they've determined are who they're looking for in an investigation into multi-state tomb raiding.

"What a horrible person you are if you decide to steal from the dead," Orange County Sheriff's Office Corporal Cole Brazee said.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office says they're searching for three people who hail from the Indianapolis area. They say the trio have been going to cemeteries across the country, breaking into niches containing cremated remains and stealing any family heirlooms that people leave behind for loved ones.

The trio have been identified as 33-year-old Drake Lee Milam, 32-year-old Porsche Bancroft, and 52-year-old Angela Garrett.

"Typically, in these mausoleums, inside of a niche, their urn is inside of it," Brazee said. "Their loved ones will leave like some jewelry that meant something to them in that niche with their remains."

These thieves have been working all over the east half of the nation.

"They've been everywhere from Oklahoma City to Minnesota to Texas, here in Florida," Brazee said. "They visited Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina and even so far northeast as to Buffalo, New York."

In total, detectives said they're following 20 cases in Florida that are being investigated, and they believe there is more than likely more.

"There could be a significant amount of individuals that have been victimized that just don't know it yet," Brazee said.

He suggested that if you haven't visited your loved ones' grave in a while, you should go check to make sure everything is as it should be.

"They all have full extradition warrants out of Central Florida, and if you see them, if you know who they are, you know where they are, please call Crimeline and turn them in because there are warrants for their arrest," Brazee said.
