Niblet frequently took her brother’s urn around with her; she referred to it as her lucky charm. It is a tiny, silver container about the size of a key fob.

Niblet stated to FOX 2 San Francisco on Tuesday, “I just want my urn back.” “I carry it everywhere I go,” I said. “It means nothing to you, but it has a lot of importance to me.”

John Jackson, Niblet’s brother, passed away in February 2019. She demands that the offenders restore her brother’s remains, claiming that the incident has been traumatizing.

Niblet bemoaned, “It’s like he died all over again.” “He’s with me everywhere I go, so I just want the urn back,” she said.

She added, “Forget the wallet and the backpack. “I only want my brother’s urn back; none of those other things matter to me.”

The investigation into the event has been confirmed by the San Leandro Police Department to Fox News Digital.
