The corpse of a 25-year-old woman was stolen from inside of a San Antonio funeral home last week, police say.

“I have never in 22 years in law enforcement ever heard of anything like this”, San Antonio Police Department Sgt.

Salazar stated that after Mott’s service ended round 1:30 p.m., a casket together with her stays was taken into a personal visitation space behind the funeral residence. “There wasn’t any forced entry to the facility”, Sergeant Javier Salazar told CNN affiliate KSAT.

“I don’t think many people would have the courage to do something like this”, Salazar said.

The funeral home’s owners are close friends with Julie’s family and knew Julie since she was born. Because there has been no leads in locating the woman’s remains, SAPD created a post on Facebook Friday asking the public for their help.

“So disturbing and unbelievable that someone would do this”. “It’s been a mean world without you”.

The next morning, employees discovered the body was missing.
