NORTHERN LIBERTIES - Skyfox flew over a mystery at 5th and Spring Garden, where a church and cemetery once stood a century ago.
As it turns out, not all of the human remains were removed."I don’t have the slightest idea what could be over there. Could you tell me?" asked a resident."Yeah, it’s a bunch of human bodies," replied FOX 29’s Hank Flynn."Are you kidding?" the resident asked.Skyfox video showed what looked like old burial sites in a hole dug in the parking lot of the Dollar General at 5th and Spring Garden.
