Authorities received tips about decomposing bodies on the grounds of a crematory 10 months before they began investigating.
During those months, 66 more bodies were delivered to the facility, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday.
The investigation of Tri-State Crematory began in February and turned up 339 bodies strewn about or buried on the property. Its operator, Ray Brent Marsh, is awaiting trial for allegedly taking money for cremations that were not performed.
Authorities received a tip in April 2001, when an oil company driver reported seeing the bodies while making a delivery.
