A high school science teacher is facing charges after police say she broke into a century-old funeral vault and even had two students hold the bones while she took pictures.

Candace Longworth, 31, is facing a felony charge of disturbing and defiling a dead person from a place of burial and two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The teenagers were charged as juveniles.

Longworth is a biology and earth science teacher at Rocky Gap High School. She's been suspended from her job.

School administrators contacted the Sheriff's Department when at least one of the students was showing pictures of herself inside the vault holding the bones.

The vault is partially below ground along the West Virginia border and holds the remains of 114 coal miners who were killed in a mine explosion in 1884.
