A flight attendant traveling in Alaska lost her late husband's ashes when her rental car was broken into and the urn carrying the ashes was stolen. Now, she's looking for help.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Tonyeka Williams-Birdow and her husband Albert spent their 18 years together flying around the world.
Albert died in 2018, after a long, 14-year battle of congestive heart failure. However, his journey of being Williams-Birdow’s travel companion did not end there. Instead, for the past three years everywhere Williams-Birdow went, she carried a part of Albert with her in a heart shaped urn. Last week, Williams-Birdow found herself having a 40-hour layover in Anchorage for her job. For the first time ever, she was finally able to make that trip to Alaska she had been dreaming of. But a dream trip quickly turned into a nightmare on her last night in the state.
Williams-Birdow hit the ground running. She searched the garbage bins around downtown Anchorage and spoke to numerous establishments, hoping someone had seen her belongings. Using her phone, she was able to track certain items inside her bag, but everything kept leading to a dead end. Now back at home in Texas, Williams-Birdow is preparing for a trip back to Alaska. As she keeps her vows close to her heart, she is on a mission to bring her husband back home.
