A newly released court document revealed disturbing details about a string of crimes that ended in a standoff at a New Jersey home earlier this month, including that one woman involved took photos with a mans dismembered corpse.

Elizabeth C. Mascarelli, 29, was charged on July 13 with offenses including hindering apprehension and desecration of human remains, the Ocean County Prosecutors Office said. Mascarelli allegedly helped Maxwell Johnston, 35, hide for several days inside the Toms River, New Jersey home where she was living, after Johnson killed his girlfriend, 25-year-old Gabriella Caroleo, HuffPost previously reported.

Mascarelli was arrested after a July 5 police standoff, along with three alleged accomplices: Danielle Bolstad, 42, Jared Krysiak, 34, and Jarred Palumbo, 36. Johnston killed himself before he could be taken into custody, authorities said.

As authorities investigated Caroleos death, they discovered the remains of another person in a separate home in Jackson 56-year-old Kerry Rollason, who owned the home Johnson was hiding in. Rollasons body had been dismembered and stuffed into bags.
