The cemetery is abandoned and records are poor. The body that was exhumed was a male and the victim was female. But detectives say they're not giving up.
The State Street Cemetery in Hamden, Connecticut goes back centuries.Authorities exhumed a body in a Connecticut cemetery Wednesday in hopes of identifying the victim of a nearly half-century-old homicide only to find that they'd dug up someone else's remains.
The victim's body was found wrapped in a tarp in a drainage ditch behind a now-gone department store in East Haven on Aug. 16, 1975. Police have determined that she was buried in 1976 at the State Street Cemetery. But Murgo said her grave wasn't marked, making it difficult to locate.
