Overview
- A 42-year-old man reported that his green backpack holding his mother's urn disappeared after he fell asleep inside a Monterrey bar.
- Municipal officers found the backpack the next morning at Pino Suárez and Reforma with the urn intact.
- The man later approached an officer assigned to a Buen Fin security detail on Avenida Madero and learned the backpack had been located.
- The ashes were from a death five years ago and had been kept in a Guadalupe cemetery until a cousin returned the urn because the family could no longer pay for the plot.
- Police returned the urn over the weekend, the man expressed relief and gratitude, and authorities have not reported suspects or arrests.
