$100 REWARD
From Larry Alston
Wetumpka
“This is a picture of the Christmas tree my wife spent hours of her time decorating for her daddy’s gravesite. A lot of love, money and pain and suffering due to health problems went into this tree. Some low life decided they needed the tree more than her daddy did. She would have gotten one for you if you needed it that bad. Putting flowers on his grave is the only thing she has left that she can do for him. The money it costed is not the issue.
The tree has a very special meaning behind it. If your life is so bad that you must steal from the deceased, please seek help. If anyone has any information on who did this with proof that will lead to their arrest for theft, please send me a message. This happened at Pine View Memorial Cemetery in Wetumpka. There is a $100 reward for that info!”
Also, readers, you can contact the Wetumpka Police Department if you have information. Central Alabama CrimeStoppers also has a tip line you can call and remain anonymous! Call 334-215-STOP or visit their website at http://www.215stop.com/
As Alston told the EAN, this is not about the money. It is simply the fact this tree was placed with love for someone who has passed on. He called the thief a lowlife. We would just like to run their mugshot and make them famous. That is lower than low….. – Sarah
