Cemetery vandal ‘fingered'
FLEMING - Matthew Panarisi's voice broke as he looked at his parents' headstone lying face-up on the grass.
“I feel bad enough to cry,” said Panarisi, who with his wife Nancy, visited St. Joseph's Cemetery in Fleming Monday afternoon, unaware that more than 50 monuments and statues had been vandalized earlier that morning. “Those were the greatest two people on earth.”
Nearby, downed monuments scattered the cemetery landscape. In some rows, several headstones were pushed over. In others, none were touched.
