Loved ones devastated after couple's ashes stolen on the way to Southern California memorial

Loved ones remain devastated after thieves broke into a car and stole boxes containing the ashes of a beloved couple in Los Angeles. Robert Gallagher took a flight from Ohio and landed at the Los Angeles International Airport on Friday morning. Gallagher was carrying precious cargo with him — the ashes of his beloved friends and couple, Leslie and David Hunt. “It’s a good love story which is one of the reasons I’m here,” Gallagher said. Leslie and David were married for 25 years and lived in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. They owned a local restaurant together and shared a lifetime of love and commitment. David passed away in 2016 and his wife Leslie passed away in December 2023. Leslie’s last wishes were for her and David’s ashes to be reunited in her hometown of Huntington Beach. But things took a terrible turn when thieves stole the couple's ashes. KTLA's John Fenoglio reports on April 20, 2024.
