Bones, Casket Pieces Dug Up At Bridgeport Cemetery

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Police are investigating after bones and casket pieces were found in the Park Cemetery on Lindley Street. Gravestones were also found moved in an alleged plot to turn old grave sites into new ones.

The cemetery is owned by an association of family members of the deceased buried there. Members of the association are asking that manager Dale LaPrade be removed by the state court, according to the Connecticut Post.

LaPrade didn't respond to a subpoena to appear at the court hearing.

The graveyard is the final resting place for many Civil War and Spanish-American War veterans.
