Grave robbers steal from 130-year-old plot

Posted

HARRISON COUNTY, Ind. -- Grave robbers have stolen from a burial plot in Indiana, first dug in 1881.

Nancy Brown, 47, died and was buried in southern Harrison County more than 130 years ago. 

The site is wooded, and the plot was buried under just four feet of dirt.

Officials aren't sure what could have been inside that grave that the robbers wanted to get their hands on. They did say a similar thing happened to a nearby grave a few years ago.
