Traci Alderman lost her 22-year-old son to leukemia just over a month ago.

He was laid to rest at Hillcrest Memorial Park and Mortuary in northeast Bakersfield. Two weeks after her son’s burial, Traci noticed her son’s flowers and decorations were going disappearing.

Traci was shocked to find a woman, captured on surveillance cameras, taking the things from her son’s grave. She posted the pictures on Facebook and received several messages from people saying they had their things stolen too.

Traci says she will continue placing decorations and flowers for her son, but wants the thieves to stop.

23ABC reached out to Hillcrest  but they referred us to their corporate offices who did not return our calls.
