Police are looking for a woman apparently filmed prying the wedding ring off a deceased woman’s body in a Texas funeral home after a surveillance video was posted on Facebook by the deceased’s granddaughter.

The minute-long video shows a woman leaning over the open casket of deceased 88-year-old Lois Hicks, and then reaching in and struggling with the corpse’s hands before readjusting them and leaving the room.
