A bizarre story out of Opelousas, where police are trying to find a burglary suspect and an urn containing the cremated remains of an Opelousas man.

Police say someone broke into Dupuis Memorials and made off with three computer monitors and an urn containing the remains of James Franklin Elder Sr. (left), who passed away in December.

Elder's family hasn't had a chance to bury his remains and desperately want them returned.

If you have any information on this crime, contact Opelousas Police at 948-2500.
