WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ore. — The Washington County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) is looking for information that might lead to the suspect who stole an urn containing the remains of a woman’s husband.
According to WCSO, deputies responded to a burglary in progress on Jan. 19 on SE 199th Court in Aloha. The woman whose home was being broken into had called 9-1-1 to report that her home had been entered.
