Man Video Recorded Sex With Slain Stepdaughter's Corpse: Prosecutor

Pennsylvania prosecutors have identified chilling evidence in the case of a man accused of killing his stepdaughter for sex.

Police said Gregory R. Graf, 53, admitted to shooting his 33-year-old stepdaughter, Jessica Padgett, and burying her behind a shed on the Northampton County property where he lives with the victim's mother. But prosecutors say they now have evidence of a shocking crime that confirms a motive in the brutal killing.

Investigators said Graf told them that he killed Padgett because he wanted to have sex with her, and that he'd sexually violated the woman's body after she died.

State police searched Graf's computer and found a video in which the suspect abuses his dead stepdaughter's body, Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli told the Allentown Morning Call.

Morganelli filed a misdemeanor abuse of corpse charge against Graf on Dec. 5.

The Allentown Morning Call reports that the new evidence means it is not likely Graf will face the death penalty, since it suggests he did not rape her while she was still alive:

Under Pennsylvania law, a murder in perpetration of a felony is an aggravating factor that allows prosecutors to pursue capital charges. Rape rises to that level, but the sexual desecration of a corpse does not, as case law has established, Morganelli said.

 
 

Padgett went missing Nov. 21 after she left work at a day care center. Police say Padgett's mother was away in Florida at the time of the murder. Graf was arrested after her body was found five days later.

In a statement released last month, the dead woman's family said "[Padgett] was a beautiful, vibrant young woman who was beloved by her family and friends."

I hope he pays when he gets to prison. Most inmates hate SOB's like this.

The death penalty is not used enough. There is no reason for taxpayers to continue to support monsters for years and they provide no benefit to society.

We should have the trial. And, then if found guilty, feed them a last meal and take them out and execute them that day.

PA still has the death penalty available for punishment. But 90% of its cases are overturned.

This is another case that is close to home for me. I know people who searched for her. I am thinking I need to move.

I figured a necrophiliac would do anything to get a night job in a mortuary.

One cartoon I liked showed a courtroom scene ...

The Judge pronounced "GUILTY!!!" then pulled out a .45 and pumped 6 bullets into the defendant.

One of the lawyers said to another, "No one ever appeals his verdicts."
