It’s a bizarre mystery but with a happy ending for family members in Georgia who have never been able to figure out what happened to their sister’s cremains.
Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called out to Gulfshore Drive in Destin July 7th after a man found a plastic bag with what appeared to be cremated remains inside that had washed ashore.
The bag also contained a tag with a name, date of birth, social security numbers, case number, and location of death as DeKalb County Georgia, as well as the name of a funeral home.
OCSO Evidence Technician Monique Caldwell today made contact with Wages and Son Funeral Home in Lawrenceville Georgia and confirmed the bag contained the cremains of a woman named Ngacloan Hua.
Contact was made with a sister of Hua. She told Caldwell that she and other family members had gone to a spot in Georgia to pray and she thought Hua’s cremains were with her, however the box containing the ashes disappeared.
The family never knew what happened to the cremains.
The sister believes it’s possible someone took the cremains while the family was praying. Her family has no connection to Destin and no clue how they ended up on a Destin beach.
Caldwell says the sister was absolutely elated to learn the remains had been located, and asked that the OCSO package the bag and return it to the family.
