She Walked Up to the Open Casket… What Happened Next Left Everyone Horrified
What was supposed to be a quiet, respectful funeral viewing quickly turned into something no one in the room could have imagined.
Mourners watched as a woman approached the open casket of Tabatha Lynch. At first, nothing seemed unusual. She leaned in closely, appearing to adjust the deceased’s makeup—something that might have passed as a final, gentle gesture.
But it wasn’t.
That woman was Shaynna Lauren Sims… and what she did in those moments would later shock even seasoned investigators.
By the time funeral staff took a closer look, the damage had already been done. Lynch’s face had been violently disturbed—cut from the hairline downward, her makeup smeared beyond recognition. Portions of her hair had been pulled out. Even more disturbing, staff later realized that parts of her body were missing.
What witnesses initially believed was a quiet moment of grief quickly unraveled into something far darker.
Police were called, and when they searched Sims, they discovered scissors, a box cutter, and clumps of Lynch’s hair inside her purse. But it didn’t stop there.
A search of her home uncovered even more evidence—tools believed to have been used, along with personal items taken from the body.
According to prosecutors, this was not a random act. It was driven by jealousy, resentment, and an obsession that didn’t end even after death.
In 2017, Sims was convicted on multiple charges, including unauthorized dissection and burglary. She was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
What happened inside that funeral home still lingers as a chilling reminder—sometimes, the most disturbing acts aren’t committed in the shadows… but in plain sight, where no one expects them.
