Shawn Parcells, 42, on Tuesday filed a notice of intent to change his plea to 10 federal charges of wire fraud. A change of plea hearing is scheduled for March 3. Prosecutors say he used his business, National Autopsy Services in Topeka, to charge clients $3,000 for autopsies on their loved ones but never performed the procedures.

He reportedly made more than $1 million from the alleged scheme.
