Skulls found before being sold at discount chain (http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Midwest/02/06/skulls.found.ap/index.html) BROOK PARK, Ohio (AP) -- Human skulls encased in ceramic have been found among clay pots, baseballs and other items purchased at auction by an Ohio discount store chain.
The trail of the 12 skulls has led to Florida and Peru.
A warehouse employee of the Marc's chain found them while looking through a box purchased at auction January 15 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A figurine fell and broke, disclosing a skull enshrouded in ceramic.
[...]
At the time of the January 30 discovery, the ceramic items were at least one week away from making the shelves at Marc's, a northeast Ohio chain of discount stores where closeouts and low prices are favored over shopper comforts.
