Paula Peltonovich and her sister Darlene Lynch said their parents were both police officers and wanted to donate their bodies to science. They learned their father's remains were among those said to be stolen. And now they want their mother's body back.

The couple's home had been raided back in March, but they weren't arrested until Wednesday — leaving their neighbors in shock.

It's like not real, but it is real," Paula Peltonovich said.
