Years later, Shaun meets a man who knows all of Brent Marsh’s secrets, and travels to Noble, where it all started.
This podcast contains graphic descriptions of death and decay.
Please listen with care.
Roughly five seconds after the news about Tri State hit the airwaves back in 2002, every lawyer within spitting distance of Noble began recruiting clients.
Some attorneys put out newspaper ads.
And one law firm creates a website just to lure in families who were victims of Tri State Crematory.
A flurry of lawsuits follows against the funeral homes in Brent Marsh and his family.
Luckily, the Marshes have a homeowner's policy with Georgia Farm Bureau Insurance, and the company ends up providing them with representation for the civil cases.
That's how a tall and lanky lawyer named Stuart James gets involved.
A guy from the insurance company calls Stuart to ask if he'll help defend the family.
And he said, I got a bunch of lawsuits for you.
And I said, really?
He said, I got about, I think it was like 115.
And I said, what are you talking about?
He said, well, you know about that guy who had the dead bodies on the property.
And I said yeah.
And he said, well, we insure them.
And I said, really?
So I went down to Georgia and I picked up 115 lawsuits in total.
The Marshes and the funeral homes Brent worked with face more than 250 civil suits.
In three states combined.
