ODESSA, Texas (AP, Sept. 30, 2016) — A West Texas woman has been sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing a ring from a corpse at a funeral home in an incident that was captured on surveillance video.
Kalynn Homfeld was sentenced during a court hearing in Odessa on Thursday after she pleaded guilty to theft from a corpse as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
Police have said the stolen ring was worth about $10.
Ector County District Attorney Bobby Bland said in a news release that the daughters of the victim supported the plea deal.
Authorities say 41-year-old Homfeld was caught on video stealing the ring in April from the body of an 88-year-old woman who was in her casket at Sunset Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home.
