SOUTH BEND, Ind. — REAL News Michiana has obtained documents showing the Indiana Attorney General’s Office is continuing an investigation into career conman turned activist, Vernado Malone, and his non-profit Justice for Michiana. An RNM investigation in 2021 uncovered a scheme in which Malone was using his non-profit and influence to give him access into a funeral home where he took hundreds of full-body nude photos of the recently deceased. Alford’s Mortuary in South Bend, which was working with Malone, settled a lawsuit with multiple families of the deceased. However, a lawsuit is still pending regarding Malone and Justice for Michiana.
