With hopes of identifying the female victim of a 1975 homicide, Connecticut authorities exhumed a body in a Hamden cemetery Wednesday, only to find the remains of someone else.
When East Haven police officers discovered the human remains inside the casket were those of a man, they knew it was not the murder victim who, for decades, detectives had worked to identify in the decadeslong cold case investigation.
In a phone interview with CNN, East Haven Police Captain Joseph Murgo said he was disappointed, but will continue to push for answers in the case.
Bound, gagged and wrapped in a tarp, the victim, referred to by police as Jane Doe, was found in a drainage ditch on August 16, 1975. Murgo said officials believe she died by asphyxiation.

Still trying to figure out whether it was the wrong body in the grave or the wrong grave. The article is not very clear about it but either way it is one of those things that could have been innocent little mess up that is really magnified at this point. Once it hits the Internet News, someone is losing their job over it.
