LaPorte Co. headstone needs grave
LAPORTE, Ind. -- Police hope to return a gravestone, found in the front
yard of a northwest Indiana vacation home, to the cemetery where it belongs.
The homeowners found the two-foot high marble monument Monday outside
their home on Saugany Lake, about 15 miles west of South Bend, LaPorte
County Police said.
The marble marker has the name Victor Lundstrom and the dates 1866 to 1943.
"I feel sorry for the poor family that had to have this taken away from
one of their loved ones," said Stan Hynek, the caretaker at St. John
Kanty Cemetery near Rolling Prairie. "I think this is a sick individual
or individuals to do something like this."
Hynek was helping police search several area graveyards, but they were
unable to come up with any missing tombstones.
The grave marker was being kept in a police evidence locker. It appeared
to have been on the property for quite some time but was in good
condition, police said.
The tombstone was probably too heavy for an average person to carry any
great distance, Hynek said.
Police hope Lundstrom's relatives will contact them so the tombstone can
be returned to the burial site, LaPorte County Police Capt. George
Ritter said.
"I don't know what else we're going to do unless we get someone to call
and say there's one missing," he said.
