(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Jon and Carie Hallford, the Return to Nature Funeral home owners, are scheduled to appear in person on Friday, Sept. 20 for a final arraignment hearing. They will either take a state plea deal or proceed to trial. This comes after the Hallfords accepted a federal plea deal on Thursday, Sept. 12. Change-of-plea hearings set in fraud case for owners of funeral home where 190 bodies found The Hallfords were indicted in April on fraud charges, accused of misspending nearly $900,000 in pandemic relief funds on vacations, jewelry, and other personal expenses. The 15 charges brought by the federal grand jury are separate from the more than 200 criminal counts pending against them in state court for corpse abuse, money laundering, theft, and forgery. Meanwhile, victims of the Return to Nature Funeral Home are still waiting to find out what happened to their loved ones. "How do we heal, how do you move forward when you're still anchored trying to figure out what it is you're dealing with," said Crystina Page, whose son was identified at the funeral home. "My husband died after a long-term battle with Parkinson's last July, and three months later, the FBI called and notified that he was found in the building," said victim Carol Prest. Jon and Carie Hallford owned and operated the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, where nearly 200 bodies were discovered in October of last year. The indictment alleges the Hallfords gave families dry concrete instead of cremated ashes and buried the wrong body on multiple occasions. The couple also allegedly collected more than $130,000 from families for cremations and burial services they never provided. "My daughter Shanelle passed away November 23, 2019, and I used Return to Nature," said Angelika Stedman. "I asked to have her cremated and they told me they were going to use Roselawn, but of course, there's no verification to that. Up to this point, I have no certainty of where my daughter's remains are." Carie Hallford filed a statement with the court Thursday saying “a disposition has been reached in the instant case” and asking for a change-of-plea hearing. Jon Hallford’s request said he wanted a hearing “for the court to consider the proposed plea agreement.” The judge granted their request to vacate the Oct. 15 trial date and all related dates and deadlines. The change-of-plea hearings were set for Oct. 24. Carie and Jon Hallford accepted the federal plea deal, but they still face state charges. Victim's family members tell FOX21 News that on Friday, Sept. 20, prosecutors will request a state plea extension. As a reminder, the state's plea offer to Carie is 190 counts of corpse abuse and a 15 to 20-year sentence in the Department of Corrections, concurrent to the federal sentence she receives. Jon faces the same counts for a total of 20 years also concurrent to his federal sentence. "For them to be able to plea out is absolutely disgusting to me," Page said. Victim family members are inviting the community to a Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) event. As victims wait for justice, they've formed a new family they never once thought they would need. On Nov. 1, the group will hold their first event to honor the dead and to honor their fight together.
