A bedridden 80-year-old in Oregon was killed and stuffed into a suitcase after her house was taken over by squatters, with cops and friends saying they turned it into a “base of operations to commit crimes” — including the woman’s murder and “abuse” of her corpse.

“She didn’t even know who was living there,” said one of Judy Hurley’s only reported acquaintances, Justin Misner, who spoke to local Fox affiliate KPTV about the octogenarian’s death this month at the hands of 54-year-old Michael Moody, who was arrested Thursday and charged with second-degree murder.

“I was disgusted and it’s horrible,” said Misner’s partner, Leslie Ortiz. “Nobody deserves to go that way regardless of your history.”
