According to Mirror, during gardening, the group of workers discovered a one-meter long lead and copper coffin buried under a concrete garage on May 8. The burial place of the coffin is in the precinct of Ericka Karner's home in San Francisco, California, USA.

The girl in the coffin may be one of thousands of people buried in the city's Odd Fellows cemetery . The cemetery was closed in 1890 by the local government's decision to redevelop the area. About 180,000 remains were moved to another burial site in the 1920s. The girl buried in long white and lavender dress in her hair may be missed during her relocation.

The girl's skin and blonde hair were perfectly preserved and the red rose that the girl in her hand could still see clearly through the glass frame on the coffin. The anonymous tomb is covered with purple velvet fabric. One of Karner's two children named the girl Miranda .

Although there was no relationship with the child buried in the house, Karner's owner was assigned the responsibility of handling the coffin. She had to get a death certificate to bury the baby girl in the new cemetery at a cost of up to $ 10,000.

" I know if there is a tree growing on your property, it is your responsibility. But this is different. The city decided to relocate all the remains 100 years ago, and they should be responsible. after that decision, " Karner said.

Karner contacted the Garden of Innocence, a burial organization for unknown children. Organization representatives hoped to find Miranda's true identity and proceed to bury the girl at Greenlawn cemetery in Coma this summer.
