USA: Anonymous Letter Leads to Infants Decomposed Remain

 
An anonymously written letter led police to the decomposed remains of 11 infants hidden in a ceiling compartment of a shuttered Detroit funeral home. Authorities confirmed about the incident and it has become the shocking news for the closed funeral home.
Brian Bowser the Detroit police lieutenant, said the bodies were found in a hidden false ceiling between the first and second floors during a search of the former Cantrell Funeral Home on Friday. And nine bodies were in a cardboard box and two were in trash bags in a single casket, Bowser said. Some of the infants were apparently stillborn, Bowser said, adding that authorities do not know how long the remains were stored and have not determined who might have left the bodies there.
Authorities confirmed that they had determined the names for some of the infants and would try to contact the families. “Obviously, it was either an employee or someone who had knowledge” of the funeral home and the building, Bowser said. He added that the remains “were kind of hidden away”.
The funeral home has been closed since April, when state inspectors suspended its license following the discovery of bodies covered with what appeared to be mold.
In response to questions, the funeral home’s designated manager for a year before its closure Jameca LaJoyce Boone, said she was shocked by the discovery of bodies in the ceiling.
