Watch: Footage shows woman stealing ring from a corpse in a funeral home

Police have arrested a woman suspected of stealing a ring from a corpse at a Texas funeral home in an incident captured on surveillance video. Odessa police on Tuesday, April 12 arrested 41-year-old Kalynn Homfeld on a charge of theft from a human corpse. Police said the ring stolen last Friday was worth about $10. 

Investigators did not immediately say what led them to Homfeld or whether the ring was recovered. Police on Monday released security video of a woman seen entering a viewing room at Sunset Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home, reaching into an open casket and fumbling to remove something from the female corpse.

The suspect drove off in a car. The theft was discovered Saturday. Online Ector County jail records didn’t yet list custody or attorney information for Homfeld.
