Indiana Jones and the Locker Bones

There was this quick story today on the local news about an odd discovery made at a local school that is undergoing construction.

"Milwaukee police and investigators with the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office were called to the French Immersion School at 2360 N. 52nd St. in Milwaukee this afternoon after a worker removing asbestos from the building found a box that he thought might contain human remains, said Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz.

An investigator with the medical examiner's office could not immediately determine whether the items inside the box were human remains, animal remains or some other type of object, Schwartz said.

Further tests will be conducted at the medical examiner's office, Schwartz said."

This is a very odd story indeed. That building is quite old, so it must have been put in the wall at some point when the building was being constructed.

Update: It nows seems that the bones are not human:

The Milwaukee County medical examiner's office has determined that the object found at the French Immersion School yesterday is not human remains.

"Do we know what it is? No, we don't. It could be anything. It's just not human," an investigator at the office said this morning.


Why would anyone go through all that trouble to hide bones that are not human? Plus I can think of plenty of better ways to get rid of bones than hiding them in the wall, but due to my pending court case I cannot discuss these.
