STRANGE: AFTER SHE DIES HER BODY WAS STOLEN, Read why
Julie Mott, 25, died Aug. 8 after a life-long battle with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe.
Her body was stolen after her funeral in San Antonio on Aug. 15 which would have been her 26th birthday, Sgt. Javier Salazar said.
Mott's body was discovered missing the next morning, when staff went to take her for cremation and found the casket had been broken into, Salazar said.
