Some people have always participated in some grisly, inhumane, and downright ugly practices. In modern society, however, we’ve become more and more privy to this bad behavior because so many people have video cameras and can either live stream or upload footage of their disturbing actions to the internet.
One example of this is a Snapchat video of teenage girls stealing a necklace that’s been making headlines all over the internet.
Bethany Martin and her friend were arrested after they videotaped themselves stealing from a corpse. The crazy video was posted on Snapchat. It showed Martin, 17, and her 16-year-old friend stealing jewelry from a dead body that was laying in a drainage ditch.
According to police, Martin and her friend found the corpse of a 25-year-old man in a drainage ditch in Bexar County, Texas. The pair recorded the incident on Snapchat, a popular social media platform where videos are deleted after 24 hours. Police were notified of the footage and arrested the two girls on Tuesday.
According to AWM:
After ripping the jewelry from the dead man’s throat, Martin took apart the pendant and gave the medallion to her friend while tossing the unwanted chain in the grass. After this, the girls called another friend, who arrived on the scene and did the responsible thing of calling 911 because there was a dead man in a Texas rain ditch.
When police arrived at the scene, they heard from the girls about what happened. The teens explained that they were in the middle of a walk to a nearby gas station when they happened to find the dead man in the drainage ditch.
Nevertheless, the girls first used the man’s corpse as a prop to get more likes and followers on Snapchat. In one video, they showed themselves hanging around the dead man and a second video showed Martin stealing the pendant from the dead man’s neck.
The BSCO investigator who had witnessed the entire scene recognized the girls’ faces after seeing the said footage. After that, Bethany was interrogated where she revealed that her friend liked the pendant.
However, another 16-years-old girl who was with Bethany had returned the necklace to the authorities who have given it to the family. Being a juvenile, her name has not been disclosed. Martin was arrested while her bail was set at $2,000 while her friend was also charged with theft.
Besides, the dead body has gotten identified, and as per reports, it is of a 25-years-old man named Marcus Adams who died by hanging. His family even created a GoFundMe page to collect donations so that they can bear the expenses of his funeral. So far, $9,000 has gotten raised.
