MILTON, Fla. -- Milton police are investigating Monday after a body was discovered in an unmarked grave in the Historic Milton Cemetery.

The body was discovered Monday morning after members of a funeral home were digging a grave in preparation of a funeral.

VIDEO AT SITE.....................

Milton Police Chief Tindell told WEAR Monday that cemetery records do not show that a body was buried in the location where the discovery was made.

Chief Tindell says the burial could be at least 20 years old.

Chief Tindell mentioned that there was a granite slab weighing more than 1,200 pounds over the burial plot.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Medical Examiners Office have been called to the the scene to exhume the remains.

Chief Tindell says there is currently nothing that they have seen to suspect foul play.

According to the cemetery's website, some of the graves date back to the 1830's.

Okay, I found it, yes they did see the coffin, but Holmes didn’t realize he’d been tricked until later because the police came and made them leave the house immediately...............

I have the book near my bedside, I’ll have to look at it and see how Doyle wrote it.

In another case I always thought Holmes would have nailed “Irene Adler” when she spoke to him in male dress. A guy as acutely observant as Sherlock Holmes would have picked up chest resonance, gait etc and yanked the disguise off of Adler.

Both canonical. “Musgrave Ritual” and “Lady Frances Carfax”. Neither is one of the better-known stories.

Whoops! Miscommunication somewhere. Or a back order that never went through.

At least they know who it is!
