L.A. woman's necklace was stolen and it held her daughter's ashes. She makes a plea to the thieves
On Dec. 15 a 75-year-old woman in East L.A. returned home after shopping when a white car pulled up and its occupants called her over. The occupants asked, "My mom's really sick, do you know if there's a pharmacy nearby?" She saw two women and a child and noticed a knife near the center console, so she moved away. A woman exited, offered money and a chain, hugged her and insisted on putting a chain on her neck. The woman resisted, then the passenger removed the victim's gold necklace and golden cross and left a cheap chain. Family members reported she was hysterical and Jesse Guerrero witnessed the incident from nearby.
"She was crying hysterically, saying, 'They stole my chain, they stole my chain!'"
"My mom's really sick, do you know if there's a pharmacy nearby?"
"'No, I don't need anything,' Guerrero said."
