TUCSON, Ariz. -- An empty casket with a military seal was discovered in a desert area south of Tucson, and sheriff's deputies were looking for the body.
"Obviously it had the smell, and there was other evidence that it had been inhabited recently," Deputy Dawn Barkman said Sunday.
Forensic investigators took DNA samples, and a nationwide alert was issued in hopes of finding out who was the recently-used casket, Barkman said.
Deputies were called to a desert area near Interstate 10 around 5:30 p.m. Saturday after two people playing paintball found the casket, Barkman said. The casket was metallic silver with a U.S. Army insignia on it, she said.

Caskets are... "inhabited"??
> Caskets are... "inhabited"??
No... they are haunted.
holy crap! strange...
They have "wildcat dumps" in AZ? That was in the story about the casket's origins.
Ummm, people in AZ shoot enough wildcats that they have to have a special dumping place for the wildcat remains? Why haven't I ever heard about this? Have the wildcats killed a lot of people or attacked any babies? How scary!
Did you get that one at the dump?
The sun came up as the vampire was trying to make his escape across the desert.
But who takes home a casket smelling of death when you find it at the dump?
What were they going to do with it? Mount a trolling motor and go fishing? Use it as a coffee table?
When the going gets weird, the weird get going.
SOunds like the work of Bubba's Funeral Parlor doesn't it?
