Man Steals Dead Woman’s Ashes Then Threatens To Snort Them

April 17, 2012 at 2:22 pm by  

Man Steals Dead Womans Ashes Then Threatens To Snort ThemLakeland, FL - A man in Florida allegedly stole a dead woman’s ashes and told the dead woman’s mother that he was going to snort the remains.

Joseph Pointer, 51,  briefly lived with Angela Speakman this month. Speakman believed he stole the remains of her sister after he moved out of the residence. Speakman’s sister died in a car accident in 2008 and she shared her sister’s remains with their parents.

Speakman’s mother says that Pointer drove by her home one day last week shouting, “I’ve got your dead daughter’s ashes and I’m going to snort them.”

Pointer may not have gotten around to snorting the deceased woman’s ashes but he was eventually arrested and charged with grand theft. He remains behind bars on $1, 000 bail.

Not surprisingly, this wouldn’t be the first story we have reported on here involving someone in Florida snorting someone’s remains. Last year, a teenager broke into a home and snorted the remains of the owner’s deceased father AND two Great Danes thinking the ashes were cocaine.

       Meth around much?

    • http://www.facebook.com/YourFriendlyNeighborhoodJewishGirl Rebekah Herzberg

      I’m betting meth. Meth tends to induce erratic behavior… Like say threatening to snort someone’s ashes? 

    • reapre

      He could do with a lot less “snorting” and a lot more skin care.

    • Terence Ng

      I think it’s the meth.

    • Coyote

      I’m thinking he’s just a Keith Richards wanna-be; he’s definitely got the look. 

    • RydoLarsson

      that dickhead face looks like hes been on meth since he was born lol but what the woman said he shouted  “I’ve got your dead daughter’s ashes and I’m going to snort them” if those were meant to be his exact words would seem like a weird sentence to shout lol

    • Califboy

      Looks like his face caught on fire and someone used a shovel to put out the fire.

    • RydoLarsson

       looks like hevy meth use lol

    • lyssdexia

      It must be that snorting dead people ashes gives you zombie leprosy?

      But, of course, only in Florida. People, I SWEAR to you, there are at least a couple of semi-normal people here, I’ve seen them! : (

    • LeaveMeBe

      Stealing someone’s ashes gets you a grand theft charge? Holy cow!

    • Abroad

      She *shared* her sister’s ashes with her parents? I might accept a joint custody situation where the urn spends two weeks on her parents’ mantlepiece, then two weeks on hers; but I get the impression they split the cremains into two urns, and that ain’t right……..

    • JohnQknowitall

      Message to the People of the World: If you reside in Florida or your remains, well, remain Florida then you get what you get -and- we, the rest of the world, will continue to make fun of you. Amen.

      That’s exactly what I said when i saw the photo.

      Joseph Pointer only mumbled as his cell door closed. Persons close to Pointer watched him place his right thumb and right pointer finger almost together and heard him say “I was this close.”

      I think there needs to be a prequel to this article – about that time the meth-lab blew up.

    • newstarshipsmell ™

      Well, they could hardly charge him with abuse of a corpse, right?

      Is that Freddy Kruger?

      Strange that this story originates from Florida…

    • http://www.krashthrills.wordpress.com/ Anthony Mandich

      Except people on meth don’t snort it usually.  Nor do they tend to do too many other drugs.  That is assuming you could consider “ashes” a drug…

    • megaflytron

      You know he totally was tryin’ to catch a buzz off this.

      That’s what happens when you use a cheese grater to exfoliate.

       So. My parents recently took my daughter to Disney World, because I can not fucking stand crowds of children. I go bonkers. Not DD bonkers, but “omg Ima claw my own eyeballs out” bonkers. (Ok so that IS DD bonkers. Just not the child beating kind.)

      We have some fish fillets in the fridge, with some of the skin still on (gag!) and she opened the fridge door and screamed “WHY IS THERE SNAKES IN HERE!?!” I explained to her that it was fish, and then informed her people do actually eat snake. I told her that most of the people I knew that did it were in the south. I said “The heat makes people down there a little nutty.”

      She says to me “People aren’t crazy in Florida!”

      … I left the room.

      Thank you, I was thinking they shared?  I loved my Dad – even being the bastard that he could be – and his ashes are in a mausoleum.  I’m guessing we wouldn’t have had any issues as to which kid would share custody in my family – not happening.  Plus I am not the most coordinated individual – they would have made about 2 weeks before they ended up part of my Eureka. 

    • CT

      Don’t judge a book by it’s cover and all the bullshit – yeah, yeah.  LOOK at this guy!  Why the fuck was he ever given access to their house in the first place?  

    • Wolf_of_Mars

      I can almost hear him saying to friends as a twenty-something: ” I remember this one time at METH Camp… ”

    • http://truecrimereport.com iLLusionS

      Maybe he is hoping it will fill in the cracks on his face.

    • LeaveMeBe

      I dunno. I mean, it is still a corpse, right? It’s just powdered, like milk or garlic. They’re still milk and garlic, just dehydrated and in powdered form.

    • http://www.facebook.com/YourFriendlyNeighborhoodJewishGirl Rebekah Herzberg

      My ex husband totally snorted meth with his friends all the time but I am no expert. I don’t touch the stuff. I didn’t think they messed around with other drugs but no telling. 

    • http://www.facebook.com/YourFriendlyNeighborhoodJewishGirl Rebekah Herzberg

      Often times individuals split ashes into two urns. 

    • Califboy

       Or a book???? Dumb ass, everybody knows you don’t snort ashes, you roll’em and smoke them.

    • Abroad

      I still don’t get it. But then I don’t get the hanging on to them either. Take them to the cemetary or a mausoleum if you need to know where they are, scatter them over the sea if you do not.

    • FrikkenFrak

      That face.   That headline.   =  My vote for the DD Hall of Fame.

      lmao!

      I will volunteer my brand new heavy-duty professional grade, not for sensitive skin, sander.

      When I miscarried my four months along baby, I had her cremated. When my ex and I divorced, we split the ashes. I put my half of her ashes in a porcelain, Precious Moments Noah’s Ark box and his share is still in a plastic baggie.

    • sherrdbw

      But what if you hurt the feelings of the law-abiding people in Florida who like it there, have lived there their whole lives or can’t afford to move?

    • sherrdbw

      Some people feel comforted by having the person’s remains close-by. Sometimes it’s a financial reason, because it’s less expensive to cremate a person and just keep the ashes. My aunt requested that she be cremated and have her ashes scattered into the ocean.

    • sherrdbw

      Nah, he would have to mix the ashes with some cheap vodka and spackle them onto his face, then spray some clear, pre-huffed sealant all-over the entire mess.

    • JohnQknowitall

      Sane and (not or) economically challenged Floridians will be exempted on a case by case basis.

    • Abroad

      Very sorry to hear of your loss. I can almost understand sharing the ashes between you in the circumstances you describe (divorce); but I still think I would personally be happier with a grave-site for the baby that we could both visit (or not). Does it not bother you that half your baby’s ashes are languishing in a plastic bag?

    • sherrdbw

      Yes, I wish that I would have never given the ashes to him. I would like to think of a way to get them back. The one thing about ashes is that they are portable, because I don’t know if I will live here forever.

      ewww@ his melty meth face ..

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1616336316 Mary Mahi Mahi

      Maybe he’s a meth addict? It causes acne & facial blemishes so most likely that’s why. Only in Flori-duh right? Having lived there for 33 years nothing surprises me. Lakeland Flori-duh is the pits of h-e-l-l.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1616336316 Mary Mahi Mahi

      Rebekah’s right. Meth also causes faces like this look it up faces of meth it causes acne & blemishes.
