Kare 11
October 22, 2015
As if dealing with the sudden death of her mother wasn’t enough, a Twin Cities woman is struggling to understand how anyone could be cold enough to steal a purse from someone who had collapsed and was in medical distress.
Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon tells KARE 11 officers were called to a laundromat at the corner of Xerxes Avenue and Northway Drive Tuesday afternoon on reports of a woman who had collapsed and needed medical attention. While they were trying to save the woman, identified as Kim Elgren-Rheault, two witnesses came up and told officers that a man grabbed the victim’s purse and ran off.
Elgren-Rheault was released from the hospital Tuesday night and subsequently died on Wednesday. Her daughter, Corie Elgren, posted a picture of her and her mother along with a message to the man who stole the purse.
Around 6 p.m. Friday, Brooklyn Center police found the man suspected of taking the purse. Police arrested him at his Brooklyn Park home. The victim’s cell phone was returned to her family. KARE 11 is not naming the suspect in the crime until he is formally charged.
Here is what she wrote:
To the young man at the Brooklyn Center laundromat:
You’ve never met me, but you met my mother yesterday, pictured here on the left. She became unresponsive and while the paramedics were called, you walked away with her purse. I understand the appeal of an easy target and I don’t have any ill will toward you. I don’t know you or your situation. If there was cash, I don’t want it back. I don’t care about the credit cards.
My mother passed away last night. As everyone woke up this morning, she didn’t. As much as we need to grieve, and as much as I want to pull out my hair and beat on the ground, there are things we have to do and steps we have to take. Again, I don’t need the cash back. The credit cards can be dealt with. But please, please, please find it in your heart to return the purse itself to us. Her keychain was a gift from her best friend and my second mom, also deceased. The knick knacks came from all over and mean so much more to me than they could to anyone else. Her phone isn’t worth a lot, it’s old and won’t sell like the newer models, but it has her contacts and pictures of our family that we can not replace.
Pictures like the one below, taken less than a month ago when we celebrated my engagement, as well as pictures of her 50th birthday party, pictures of her grandchildren, and pictures of her
own mother before she passed away.
I won’t ask any questions. I won’t ask for any of the money back. All I would like is the pictures and the pieces that mean nothing to you but everything to me. Please reach out to me here or drop it off at the Brooklyn Center Police Department, or even at the Sears Auto Center, where her grieving husband works. I hope you’ll feel for us and you’ll do what you think is right.
