Mother Buried 15 Years Ago Found Alive in Florida
The Stir ^ | 1 july 2011 | Lindsay Mannering

Posted on 07/07/2011 12:32:37 PM PDT by PilotDave

When Grace Kivisto buried her mother 15 years ago, I doubt she ever dreamt this day would come. You see, Grace's mom, Lula Cora, left the then 15-year-old Grace in 1970 after a family fight and never returned home to her 14 children. In 1996, investigators found human remains buried in family's backyard, and assumed it was the missing mother. DNA evidence wasn't that sophisticated back then, so no testing was done.

I think you see where this is going. Two years ago, Grace offered up her mother's bones from the backyard to investigators to test the DNA, since the technology is decidedly much better now than it was in 1996.

Yesterday, Grace got a call that the bones were not her mother's, and that her mom is alive and well, and living in Florida. Yup.

How about: no one got arrested/investigated for murder?

What is it with the state of Florida? Too much humidity I reckon.

I'm happy they bothered to mention the status of bones originally offered up.

Like the skull found in the Beeb's David Attenborough's garden last year.

Missing from a 130+ year old murder victim.

Most weird stories emanate from either Pennsylvania or Florida.

“Missing from a 130+ year old murder victim”

Who would murder a 130+ year old? To live so long and have it cut short. So sad.
