Man Accused of Stealing Teddy Bear Holding Child’s Ashes

What began as a short-lived relationship allegedly turned into a stalking investigation after a Florida woman reported that a teddy bear containing her deceased son’s ashes had disappeared from her hotel room.

Investigators alleged the missing keepsake was only one part of a pattern of harassment that unfolded over several days. According to the investigation, the woman also received dozens of threatening text messages and repeated phone calls after ending the relationship. One message allegedly threatened to destroy the teddy bear, while others warned that she would continue being harassed if she ignored him. The suspect also allegedly claimed authorities from another state were on their way to arrest her.

The two had dated for only a few weeks before she decided to end the relationship because she said he had become verbally aggressive and increasingly controlling.

In what one onlooker said was “a little bit crazy like a movie scene,” the suspect, who got stuck in traffic, allegedly began slamming into the other vehicles on the road in a purported attempt to escape. He was ultimately unsuccessful, and the police forced him to get out of his truck at gunpoint.
