DA: Pa. woman falsely claimed baby’s ashes stolen
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — A western Pennsylvania woman has been charged with falsely reporting that a burglar stole her dead baby’s cremated remains.
The district attorney says the ashes were actually from a cremated cat.
Thirty-four-year-old Carey Toth, of Johnstown, faces a preliminary hearing April 22 on charges of making false reports to law enforcement and unsworn falsification for statements she made to police. The burglary was April 17.
Toth doesn’t have a listed phone and her attorney didn’t immediately return a call Friday.
The Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown reported last week that the Cambria County coroner had no death records for Toth’s son.
