Missouri Teens Steal What They Think Is Cocaine, End Up Snorting Their Grandfather’s Ashes
Quote:
Here’s a fun one. A trio of teenagers rummaged through a Missouri home when they discovered through Facebook postings that its owner, Debora Matthews, was out of town. They came away with nearly $3,000 in cash and valuables and, they thought, a fancy box filled with cocaine.
She says the three thought the ashes stored in a container was cocaine, but after they tasted it, they realized what they had really stolen. However, instead of bring it back, they scattered the ashes all over the highway as they fled.
So, they snorted a dead man’s ashes (gross) before unceremoniously dumping them in the road (awful). But then, it gets worse:
She also says she believes the minors are two of her father’s grandchildren.
“I’m very upset because of the minors. I mean [they] were his grandsons,” Matthews said. “They did that to their grandfather. They didn’t even realize it was their grandfather’s ashes.”
