In the video, a woman alleged to be Higgins is seen trying to go through one door, but finds it locked. The woman then finds a door that was left open for members to attend choir practice.
Once inside, she goes downstairs to the area where the book fair was held.
A lock box with about $1,000 inside was then taken.
