RED BLUFF -- A mother and son accused of cremating their 84-year-old mother and grandmother in their Corning backyard in December changed their pleas to guilty Tuesday morning before their preliminary hearing.
Kathleen Theresa Allmond, 50, and Tony Ray, 30, pleaded guilty to one count of felony grand theft of personal property and a misdemeanor charge of disposal of human remains outside of a cemetery, according to a press release from the Tehama County District Attorney's Office.
They are set for sentencing Dec. 22. They each face a maximum of three years and six months in jail.
The pair was arrested after the Tehama County Sheriff's Department was called out to do a welfare check on 84-year-old Ramona Allmond.
Investigators soon learned Ramona Allmond died in December 2007 and was left lying on her bedroom floor for about a week until her daughter and grandson decided to cremate her in a concrete cooking pit in her.
