Crime Stoppers... This week’s crime of the week comes from the files of the Niles post of the Michigan State Police. The Mt. Zion Cemetery on Buffalo Road in Buchanan is the final resting place of six-year-old Casey Pollitt, who died three years ago of Leukemia. Casey’s grave site has been the scene of many recent unsolved thefts. About a year ago, a cement fawn was stolen from her grave. Over the weekend of July 23, 1994, a cement statue of a small girl with pigtails was stolen. Several hanging flower baskets were also removed from the grave site, along with a wooden cow with a bell around its neck. The family members are at a loss to explain why the memorials placed at Casey’s grave site have become the target of all of these thefts. If you know who has been committing these thefts, and call Crime Stoppers this week, you can receive a cash reward of up to SI,OOO, upon arrest or indictment of the suspect involved. Remember, you can call Crime Stoppers about this or any other felony crime or fugitive. In Indiana and Michigan, call toll free, 1-800-342-STOP. You will be given a code number, and Crime Stoppers won’t ask your name. Crime Stoppers...it works!
