A gruesome end to a necklace heist involving Jennifer Lopez's latest film.

Police in the Canadian province of Manitoba say a pricey piece of jewelry
purloined from the set of Lopez's now shooting romantic drama, Shall We Dance?,
turned up in the hotel room of a man found very dead and quite dismembered.


The necklace, estimated to be worth $4,000, was reported stolen from a prop
trailer on the movie's Winnipeg set on July 1, said Bob Johnson, spokesman for
the Winnipeg Police Department.


The bauble reportedly appears around Susan Sarandon's neck in the film.


Shall We Dance?, a remake of the acclaimed Japanese film of the same name (after
translation, natch), stars former Fly Girl Lopez as a ballroom-dance instructor
who becomes the object of infatuation for Richard Gere (news), an anguished
accountant locked in a languishing marriage to Sarandon.


Production began in Winnipeg late last month. Johnson said the gone-missing
necklace is the only reported incident of trouble from the set.


And even the necklace didn't stay missing for long.


On July 2, a 33-year-old man, Sydney Teerhuis, walked into the Winnipeg police
station.


"He basically turned himself in and said he believed he had committed a murder,"
Johnson said.


Teerhuis tipped off police to an ugly crime scene at Winnipeg's Royal Albert
Arms Hotel. There, authorities discovered the dismembered body of Robin Robert
Greene, 38, Johnson said. A further search of the room uncovered the hot Shall
We Dance? prop.


Police have ruled out a connection between the trinket theft and the massacre of
a murder. There was no word on possible motive. It appears Teerhuis and Green
only met each other on the night of the slaying.


Although he appeared to be in possession of the stolen necklace, it's not known
if Greene masterminded the heist, Johnson said.


The jewelry has since been returned to the movie production; suspect Teerhuis
has since been stored behind bars, pending trial.


On Friday, Miramax Films, the studio behind Shall We Dance?, confirmed the
necklace theft. There was no immediate comment on a report in the New York Post
that security had been increased on the set in the wake of events.


Lopez, at least, appears unscarred by the scandal, depicted in the online
version of Friday's Winnipeg Sun waving and smiling to fans as she trekked to
her trailer on Thursday.
