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.

He reportedly had a negative rapport with the office manager and he tried to address the issues by sending letters to the woman in question and to her bosses informing them of his displeasure with the way the office was being run due to his belief that she was not performing her job well.

On July 2, the office manager was drinking water from the cup she had on her desk and she believed it had a taste and odor that should not have been present. When looking inside of the mug she noted a white-colored, viscous substance was floating in the water.
