A Facebook engineer and his family were shocked to find buried car during the renovations of their $15 million home in Atherton, California, a suburb of San Francisco.
Police investigating the strange find have been alerted to the possible presence of human remains by cadaver dogs, making the finding a potential Crime scene, according to KNTV.
The vehicle was discovered 4 to 5 feet underground, according to a news release from Atherton police, who said the car had “unused bags of concrete throughout the vehicle.”
The discovery occurred on Thursday morning, according to the report.
The initial investigation has determined that the car has been there since the 1990s, well before the current owners.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday that the property’s former owner, whom they identified as Johnny Bocktune Lew, had a “colorful history of arrests for murder and insurance fraud.” Lew was convicted in 1977 of two counts of attempted murder, and had been convicted of murder in a 1966 case that was later overturned, the Chronicle reported.
