A Bridgeport mom whose 16-year-old daughter, Trinity Paige Rogers, took her own life in 2022 says she is "shocked and heartbroken" that her grave has been vandalized.
"I came here on Sunday to spend time with Paige, and to tend her grave, and I couldn't believe what I saw. All the precious little mementos we had left here were destroyed and broken," Tiffany Mennillo said Monday.
Police say they're investigating the vandalism at Park Cemetery.
"It's disgusting that somebody would desecrate a grave this way - and we will be doing everything we can to find that person," said Police Chief Roderick Porter.
Anthony Monelli, a member of the cemetery's board of directors, said the board will work with police to investigate the vandalism, which he described as an isolated incident.
