I know. My heart is just sick for the family. Just sick. Just think of all the dreadful things going through their minds. I so hope some business in the area had cameras. Why in heavens name aren't their people on duty to watch the deceased? And how did they manage to pick her up and walk out with her? Unseen?That's creepy. What in the world would someone want with a dead body?

Wow! Reading between the lines of the article, it sounds like maybe a friend or other relative may have been opposed to the cremation. How sad for her family.
From the article:
Robert Tips, owner of Mission Park Funeral Chapels and a friend of the Mott family, told the Express-News that the thief may have been influenced by an ideological opposition to cremation, preferring that Mott’s body undergo a traditional burial instead.
They didn't say. See Nadine's quote. That's why I said "reading btwn the lines".Well, then I would think the police would know who to start the investigation with first. Who opposed the cremation?

I know! I couldn't believe that either!How can stealing a body from a funeral home not be a felony?
...I think it comes in as a Fifth degree Felony in most places, but maybe their legal statute is different...until somebody fesses up or an eyewitness comes forward...this travesty will go unsolved....I am amazed at the depravity people will perpetrate, AND that the place was without security....I know! I couldn't believe that either!

Start shaking down employees. Unless there was forced entry into the place, you'd have to know the layout of the building, where the body would be stored and a timeline of when employees were there, etc. Said perpetrator may have had inside help.
?
Okay, so anybody know the recent where abouts of one, Thomas Petty?...just thought it needed to be asked
