A construction crew found a vintage sports car buried under an old parking garage. When they opened the trunk, they immediately called the police. Foreman Mark Davis was overseeing the demolition of an old downtown parking structure when the excavator struck something solid beneath the foundation.
Suspecting utility lines, the crew used jackhammers, exposing a metallic surface missing from the blueprints. Mark halted demolition and directed his team to excavate the area carefully. After hours of digging, they uncovered the roof of a 1950s convertible sports car encased in the earth.
A heavyduty crane lifted the vehicle from its earthn tomb. Once on stable ground, the crew noticed the trunk appeared strangely welded shut. Mark retrieved a cutting torch and sliced through the corroded metal seal. But the moment they pried the lid open and saw a large weathered suitcase inside, they immediately called the police.
When authorities opened the large suitcase from the trunk, they discovered human skeletal remains alongside a leather briefcase containing documents. Forensic teams identified the victim as James O’ Conor, a local politician who disappeared 60 years earlier during a corruption investigation. Evidence suggested Okconor was betrayed by the mob and buried alive inside his car while the parking garage was constructed.
The shocking discovery finally closed one of the city’s most notorious cold cases, revealing the dark secrets hidden beneath the concrete.
