My first thought was that this article goes out of its way to blame witches for an unsolved crime.
My second thought was that the evidence does suggest that this wasn't done to steal antique jewelry. But why (and by whom) it was done seem uncertain.
And my third thought was that surely centuries-old dead bodies should only be stolen by pure and righteous scientists endowed with unusual wisdom and clean white coats, to be examined with the very latest in beeping, blinking high tech equipment. Mere amateurs with candles and circles and whatnot have no right to do such a thing. Though I do give them credit for the nice rectangular hole.
