Jewelry stolen from corpse in crypt

? 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.
