NYC woman is found guilty of robbing homes of victims while they were at the funerals of their spouses after finding targets through obituaries


An New York City woman has been found guilty of robbing a half-dozen homes of victims who were attending their spouses' funerals after finding her targets through obituaries on Legacy.com.

Latonia Stewart, 30, from the Bronx, was found guilty of six counts of robbery in a Westchester court on Thursday and could face more than 20 years in prison.

Stewart she broke into a half-dozen homes between Winter 2017 and Spring 2018.

The 'Funeral Burglar' now faces between 3 and 15 years in prison for each of the six counts after jurors only deliberated for two hours. She will be sentenced on November 22.

Stewart targeted mourners who had lost their spouses, using Legacy.com to find her victims.

'This defendant targeted these grieving people because she knew they wouldn’t be home,' said Assistant District Attorney Stefanie DeNise in her closing argument.

In case you happen to be looking for a babysitter, Latonia also babysits when she isn't looking through obituaries for houses to rob.
