West Valley Police Seek Owner of Cremated Remains Box

Police in West Valley City, Utah, are searching for the owner of a box that appears to contain cremated human remains, which was left outside the local fire station at 5372 West Upper Ridge Road. The brown box has a partially legible label that possibly reads 'Stevens, John,' though the rest of the label is worn and difficult to decipher. A person reportedly found the ashes and dropped them off at the fire station, unsure of what to do next, prompting the fire station to hand the remains over to police. Authorities are asking anyone with information about the box or its owner to contact the West Valley City Police Department at 801-840-4000. Police do not know how or where the remains were originally found but believe they were discovered outside. The investigation is ongoing as officials seek to identify and notify the rightful owner.
