An anonymous letter was responsible for leading investigators to fetuses hidden in the ceiling of the Cantrell Funeral Home in Detroit. It also ultimately led to the discovery of more remains at the funeral home, including those of the veterans.
The tip exposed the horrors hidden in the ceiling. Local 4 has learned what was inside that anonymous letter, which told investigators where the bodies were hidden. The letter was obtained by the Detroit News in a Freedom of Information Act request.
The letter contained specific step-by-step instructions that led state investigators to the remains of 11 infants hidden in the ceiling.
