DALLAS, Texas– Dallas police have launched an investigation into an incident at a local funeral home after a woman allegedly removed a wig from a deceased individual on May 22.
According to an affidavit filed with the Dallas Police Department, the suspect, identified as Tonya Boyd, entered the facility’s preparation room, where she allegedly took the wig from the head of a deceased woman. The funeral director reported seeing Boyd in the restricted area and immediately contacted authorities.
Officers responded to the funeral home to collect statements and examine potential evidence. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage to determine how Boyd accessed the room and whether anyone else participated in the alleged theft.
