He wanted to plant a tree in the garden. He hit the bones

Rebecca and her husband bought a house in Tennessee seven months ago. The previous owners lived there for a year. People who lived there even earlier were known to have had many animals. One day, Rebecca’s husband went to the garden and started digging a hole to plant a tree there. At some point he came across something hard and a piece of fabric. He thought it was a root and decided to throw it away. It turned out that it was not a root, but a bone wrapped in cloth. The man immediately notified the services. Meanwhile, unaware Lynne Echols was taking care of the one-year-old at home.

Human or animal bones? The police are still investigating the case

When she arrived, she started asking about the previous owners. “They told my husband to check his phone to see who these people were and if they had any connections to the serial killer in our area,” Rebecca said in the recording. The police took the bag with bones for DNA testing.

One of the forensic workers was unable to recognize whether these were human or animal bones, so the case is still ongoing. The tiktoker said that it is possible that the services will come back to dig up her entire yard. The police allowed Rebecca and her husband to plant a tree and announced that if they dug up the yard, they would not destroy the trees but would look for more bones.
