CORPUS CHRISTI -- The plot thickens in the case of embalming fluid found inside a karaoke machine at a woman's home.
Police say the woman who lives at the home -- on Blundell -- bumped into the karaoke machine
and 14 bottles of embalming fluid rolled out on Saturday.
But a person who knows the family -- who didn't want her identity revealed -- says there's more to this already bizarre story.
She said the bottles are the same one's stolen from the Maxwell P. Dunne Funeral Home in July.
Police say dealers dip joints in the fluid for an extra high...and to make extra money.
The woman -- who we'll call Lisa -- said she was there when two of her friends were plotting the burglary.
She said, "He was like we can make all this money he was like it's easy, it's a good lick. Let's go break in there."
Lisa says one of the men hasn't been caught.
But court documents we found reveal 22-year-old Joseph Zamarripas was charged with that burglary about two weeks later.
Lisa says Zamarripas told her he hid near the corpses for several minutes when he heard police search the building.
She said, "He was like I've never been in there but I found my way through there quick. I smelled all the dead bodies when the cops were looking for me and I was like gross."
As for the karaoke machine...Lisa believes it belongs to the suspects who took it to their friends house on Blundell.
She said, "We didn't even know the bottles were in there."
Lisa doesn't believe the homeowner had anything to do with the embalming fluid.
Police haven't charged anyone in the home but they still haven't figured out how the embalming fluid got in the karaoke machine.
