DECISION IS PERMANENT Vic Regnier Must Not Move Bodies Without Relatives' Permission. A Johnson County builder has been enjoined by the Johnson County District court from disturbing the Linwood cemetery in Leawood, which he has owned since 1958. Judge Raymond Carr gave a decision Tuesday to prevent Vic Regnier, president of the Vic Regnier Builders, from moving bodies from the cemetery near Ninety-fifth street and Mission road.

In the same civil suit, filed by relatives of persons buried there, Judge Carr issued a permanent injunction against Regnier from removing top soil, trees or headstones from the cemetery. The plaintiffs stated in their petition that Regnier, developer of the Ranch Mart Shopping center just west of the cemetery, had. removed the top soil and was preparing to move some of the bodies. The petition further alleged that the company planned to convert the cemetery to other uses. Regnier acquired the property partly on a warranty deed and the balance on quit-claim deed from the Methodist City Mission society of Kansas City, Kansas.

The enjoinment action states that Regnier cannot re move any of the bodies without the permission of the relatives. The plaintiffs stated in their petition that they had not and would not give Regnier permission to move the bodies. Included with Regnier as defendants were the Johnson County commissioners, Carl M. Standiford, Herman Higgins and Harry King; Lloyd Squires, former county clerk, and Milton J. Quaintance, county treasurer.
