Police Officer Gives Woman a Ride to the Cemetery, Only to Learn She Had Been Sleeping on Her Husband’s Grave for Months

A Syracuse police officer, Jamie Pastorello, offered a ride to a woman, Rhea Holmes, who was carrying groceries. During the ride, Holmes revealed she was headed to a cemetery where her husband was buried. Pastorello was shocked to learn that Holmes had been living in the cemetery, sleeping on her husband's grave for months while experiencing homelessness. Pastorello helped secure temporary housing for Holmes and started a GoFundMe that raised over $27,000, allowing her to move into a fully furnished home.
