MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. -- An anonymous call to police led to a disturbing find at one of the oldest cemeteries in Miami-Dade County.
Police found desecrated graves at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery along Northwest 41st Street Monday. They found a bag of human skeletal remains mixed with chicken bones, one burial vault open and two others tampered with.Albert Keton's father was laid to rest at Evergreen 10 years ago, so he rushed to the cemetery after hearing news."It made me upset. That's why I ran over, cause I don't know whether its my fathers grave or who, you know what i'm saying? That's no respect for people's remains," Keton said.Many of the gravesites are not marked so police are working with the cemetery owners to go over any records they may have. The remains found in a bag are at a forensics lab for identification.
