A partially mummified baby was found inside a suitcase at a warehouse storage unit, police said.
The remains, found Monday night, were wrapped in 1950s era newspapers inside two suitcases at the self storage center.
The storage unit had been rented by a couple in 1996, but the man died several years ago and the woman died in the past year, said Delray Beach police spokesman Officer Jeff Messer.
The baby was found by the couple's daughter, who flew down from New Jersey after receiving a letter stating that the contents of the storage unit would be auctioned off because the rent had not been paid for a while, police said.
The identities of the couple and their daughter have not been released.

Why the fuss? Babies are legally disposed of everyday by the thousands.
How horrific for their daughter to find. I'm sure a million questions are coming to her mind and wondering just what kind of parents she really had.
Wow. Michael Savage has a story like that. His father was a secondhand junk dealer and supposedly found a mummified newborn in a trunk that had belonged to a nun.
It's awful.
Prayers sent
Auctioned? How much could they get for a mummified baby on Ebay?
...I know, it's late.
Speechless....
