The 41-year-old Odessa woman accused of stealing a $10 ring from a dead woman at a funeral home has been indicted on two felony counts of theft that could land her behind bars for up to two years if convicted.

The indictment was handed down about a week ago and charges Kalynn Homfeld with one count of theft from a human corpse and another count of enhanced theft with a prior conviction, both state jail felonies, Ector County District Attorney Bobby Bland said.

Homfeld faces 180 days in jail or up to two years in state prison if she is found guilty on either or both charges, Bland said. Homfeld, 211 Fitch Ave., was being held Wednesday at the Ector County Detention Center on bonds totaling $20,000.

Homfeld’s suspected actions in mid-April drew headlines when Odessa police said she walked into the Sunset Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home and was caught on video surveillance yanking the ring from the finger of Lois Hicks, an 88-year-old Odessan who was deceased and lying in her casket.

Hicks’ daughters and other loved ones were outraged, heartbroken and stunned by the theft, which they said occurred shortly after they left the funeral home.

Hicks’ daughter Vel McKee said she had returned to the funeral home to touch up her mother’s makeup when she noticed the ring was missing.
