“#Texas Teens Charged After Stealing Necklace From Dead Body — And Posting It On Snapchat
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nTwo Texas teenagers have been arrested and charged by local authorities after they posted a video to\u00a0Snapchat<\/strong> showing themselves stealing a necklace from a dead body.<\/p>\n

Bethany Martin<\/strong>, who is 17 years old (pictured above, inset), and a 16-year-old friend (not publicly named or pictured because she is a juvenile) were out walking last Monday when they happ<\/a>ened upon a man\u2019s corpse in a drainage ditch, according to the Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/strong>, based in San Antonio.<\/p>\n

The girls admitted to authorities that they were walking through a recently-developed neighborhood when they saw \u201csomething awkward by the drainage ditch and went to take a closer look.\u201d Then, upon finding the body, instead of calling police, they called a male friend of theirs who joined them at the scene.<\/p>\n

At some point, the 16-year-old spotted a necklace on the deceased man\u2019s neck, and decided that she liked it because \u201cit matched her fashion style.\u201d So, Martin told investigators that she removed the necklace carefully, \u201cmaking sure not to touch the body,\u201d while the younger teenager used the 17-year-old\u2019s phone to film the ordeal and post it to\u00a0Snapchat.<\/p>\n

Did\u2026 did they not realize they were committing a crime?? Why would they post that??<\/p>\n

Eventually, the video made its way onto the\u00a0Nextdoor<\/strong> app, where neighbors in and around the development shared the clip with law enforcement. Apparently, a family member related to the deceased man was also one of the ones who happened to view the video \u2014 without knowing beforehand the identity of the victim.<\/p>\n

Unbelievable\u2026<\/p>\n

After being called to the scene, the sheriff\u2019s office identified the deceased man as 25-year-old\u00a0Marcus Adams<\/strong>. His death has been ruled a suicide.<\/p>\n

Upon learning of the Snapchat video from tips on the Nextdoor app, law enforcement arrested Martin on Tuesday and charged her as an adult with felony theft from a human corpse or grave. She\u2019s since been released on $2,000 bail; the 16-year-old was also arrested and faces the same charges, but as a juvenile.<\/p>\n

Sheriff\u00a0Javier Salazar<\/strong> (pictured above) spoke to the media<\/a> about the disturbing incident, and even he was clearly shaken up over what transpired:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen my homicide sergeant pulled me aside and said \u2018I\u2019m going to show you video that\u2019s going to be very, very disturbing.\u2019 And he showed me the video and it was\u2026 I\u2019m shook! I am still shook. I\u2019m disturbed by it.\u00a0If it weren\u2019t on video? I wouldn\u2019t believe that it happened. It was disturbing because they\u2019re laughing. \u2018I can\u2019t believe you\u2019re doing this,\u2019 and words to that effect, treating it as a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow\u2026 Talk about heartless.<\/p>\n

Marcus Adams Sr.<\/strong>, the dead man\u2019s father, also spoke to the media about the terrible incident, telling\u00a0KENS 5 News<\/a><\/em> (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bad enough to steal from the living. But to steal from the dead? He\u2019s helpless. He\u2019s no longer here. He couldn\u2019t fight back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to the police arrest affidavit, the necklace has since been returned to Adams\u2019 family.<\/p>\n

Still, what a terrible thing for his poor family to go through. What were these girls thinking?!<\/p>\n

Ugh\u2026<\/p>\n
