Police are searching for the people responsible for stealing a woman's body from a mausoleum at the Atlantic City Cemetery in Pleasantville last week.
Cemetery workers say the mausoleum's door was pried open and that the coffin that housed the body of Pauline Spinelli was empty inside.
“The person who came here came with the tools necessary to break into that,” Pleasantville Police Captain Rocky Melendez told NBC10's Ted Greenberg.
The empty coffin was discovered around noon on Saturday, reports NBC40.
They say the body was stolen sometime between Thursday night and early Friday.
“You gotta think…they took her out of the box and threw her in the back of their car with them,” Spinelli's grandson Rocco told NBC10.
Spinelli was laid to rest inside the mausoleum with other family members in 1996. She was 98 years old when she died.
Family members tell NBC10 they believe that a cult has something to do with the theft of the Spinelli's body, although police have not confirmed this possibility.
"Why would someone do this? That’s a very good question. I don’t have the answer to that. I couldn’t imagine why someone would do such a thing,” said Melendez.

Who says anyone got her?
More proof of the Zombie Apocalypse, to me.

“Unpleasantville maybe?”
That’s what I’ve always called it.
To: DoughtyOne
Unpleasant is right. I hope there’s more to this story (however I’m not sure what it could be), because if cult members took her, why? Eee gads. You’re not even safe dead.

It sounds like Palo Mayombe. There’s quite the problem with them in areas of NJ.

I bet she's been voting all of those years since she died.
But, she's probably being used by democrats to fill the seats that will be going empty, with so many congresspeople opting not to attend the democratic party conventions.
Or, she is going to be used to recruit more dead people to vote democrat.

Occultic holiday of “Lammas Day” is coming up—August 1.
Such things tend to cluster around the “cross quarter days”:
