Police: Stolen backpack containing young cancer patient's medical records and sentimental items returned

ATLANTA - The family who said some of the medicine, medical records and sentimental items connected to toddler battling stage 4 cancer has been found. Those items were taken earlier this week after a thief smashed their SUV window as it sat parked at a downtown hotel.

Hailey Holder's mother, Hailey Allen, said a backpack filled with medicine and crucial information was stolen. It also contained her daughter’s Beads of Courage.

“It's a program through the hospital that helps children document their cancer journey. Children receive beads every time they get poked or stay in the hospital, everything has a coordinating bead to it," said Allen.
