The family of the late Doris Mooren flew from California and Texas to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on Saturday, with Morren's ashes inside a piece of checked luggage, Cleveland 19 reports. 

According to her son-in-law Harold Karaka, Mooren asked to be buried in the same cemetery as her mother in Northfield, Ohio.

But the suitcase containing her ashes reportedly went missing at the airport.

“We met in Dallas and then flew into Cleveland and upon arrival went down to get the luggage and it was gone," Karaka told Cleveland 19. "It was scanned by American Airlines and they said it did arrive and it came down the turnstile. Somebody else picked it up possibly by mistake or it was stolen.”

The Cleveland Hopkins International Airport told Fox News that it had no comment on the situation at this time.
