No dust or bones?

Wow. Was the crypt damp?

(I'm really not being irreverent - at least not on purpose. I studied archaeology in college . . . and even in damp conditions there's usually a "shadow stain" at the least - even after thousands of years.)

"No dust or bones?"

Not a sausage, apparently!

"Wow. Was the crypt damp?"

Haven't a clue. And the priest who told me about it could venture no hypothesis at all.

Maybe Fr. Faber wasn't particularly turned on by relics and didn't want to take the chance?

Those Americans who cannot travel to England might wish to make a pilgrimage to the new Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Church in Houston, Texas (which is still under interior construction and adornment).
