New York State Police seek help after lost urn found in Hudson Valley
New Yrok State Police are asking for the public’s help with a recently discovered rather personal item. Investigators say some hikers found the object and then took it to police in hopes of finding quick answers. The problem is that there is not much to do at the moment. The New York State Police have shared a photo of the article of unknown origin on their news page and are asking for your help.
The object is a cremation urn, although there isn’t much other information about it. Police say hikers found the urn unmarked on the Stone Bridge Trail in Rockefeller State Park. The park is located in Mount Pleasant, at the eastern foothills of the Hudson River in Westchester County. According to the police, there is no identifying information on the ballot box. The photo released by police shows a somewhat weathered golden urn that appears to have been left behind for some time. Some of the ashes can be seen coming out of the urn.
If you have any information, please call the New York State Police at (845) 677-7300.
Do people often lose ballot boxes?
It can happen. A college junior received a pretty shocking surprise in the mail in January. No, it wasn’t a tuition bill or an embarrassing note from their parents. It was something completely different and unexpected, which had to be delivered to another part of the state. WBNG says this accidental experience terrified this poor student and led her to sleepless nights.
WBNG says this Binghamton University student received a mangled FedEx package delivered to their dorm. But while the box may have had its name, address, and tracking number, something was wrong. And by not fair, we mean there were cremated ashes spilling out of the box. WBNG says the box containing the cracked urn and cremated ashes was intended for a family in Auburn, NY. Somehow he got to college instead. Sources say she was able to contact the family, who came to collect the ashes they had been waiting for.
Yeah.
