Tulsa woman accused of disfiguring corpse during funeral home visitation

Police say Shaynna Smith (also known as Sims) went to the Moore Funeral Home Eastlawn location and found the woman’s body and cut her hair, smudged the makeup and cut the woman’s face.

They said the woman’s mother saw Smith with her hands in the casket, but she took them out and left after the mother walked up to her. They said that’s when the family saw the woman’s face and hair were cut and the make-up smudged.

They called police who found Smith inside the woman’s apartment. They said the woman’s son let her in because she said she was getting jewelry for the woman’s funeral.

Police said they found a knife with hair on it, a box cutter and make-up on Smith when they arrested her. They aren’t sure of an exact motive but said Smith and the woman were ‘frenemies’ and Smith’s boyfriend used to date the woman.
