When we last left Emilia Miller, a visitor from Jennigs, La. who was assaulted and robbed outside the Spotlighter's Theatre on St. Paul Street on the Sunday afternoon of Aug. 31, she was pleading for the return of her missing items. Police had caught one suspect, a 16-year-old, but the man or teen who had her pack had gotten away.

The items missing included her black leather pack, $25, a Nikon digital camera, a gold-colored watch, her identification cards and medical records.

Her son-in-law, Michael Brand, sent me an e-mail over the weekend saying that one item was recovered:

"I just wanted to let you know that an attentive and kind lady found my mother-in-law's stolen driver's license and mailed it to her address in Louisiana. She found it near MD General Hospital -- a little to the west of the Wasington Monument -- late Sunday afternoon." That was shortly after she was robbed.

"So apparently one of the thieves was sorting through Emilia's purse/paperwork/cards as he was heading west from the crime scene ... and just dropping stuff as he went. Unfortunately, nothing else has been recovered/returned yet, but we're still hopeful!"
