Jewelry stolen from corpse in crypt
Wichita ? Police say thieves broke into an aboveground crypt at a Wichita cemetery and stole a necklace from a woman’s corpse.
The theft was reported Tuesday morning, five months after an attempted grave robbery at another Wichita cemetery.
Captain Darrell Haynes said that in the more recent break-in, a $20 gold medallion made into a necklace is missing from the grave of a 60-year-old woman.
Detectives say it could be linked to an incident at another cemetery in April, when intruders broke into an aboveground mausoleum but couldn’t open the casket.
