Check for Hillarys DNA ! 🫣
Something must be mentally wrong with those ppl. You found a skull in the storage, other than calling the cops you took it to a thrift store to sell.
Customer was just mad the skull was overpriced.
The lady from store seemed mad that it was reported.. however all that witch craft in the store would put them as a suspect of the human skull 💀 …Its disgusting, and the behavior isn't normal. That's not normal at all…. they should have reported it years ago.
Can I buy it
SWEET! How much and us it available?!?!? COOL! I WANT ONE!
WhoA whoA whoa!! Did she just say she would like them to determine the skull’s gender?
How about ask the skull it’s pronouns.
I sure Hope Tha Lady Gets Compensated for That Skull $4000 is Fair That Skull looks older than the laws that regulate dearh
Ever wonder what happened to
Mrs. Florida man??
Wonder no more. 😱😳😱
How would a human skull found inside a thrift shop not be considered suspicious( According to sheriff’s office) ??? This could be a missing person, this could be someone’s loved one, who knows ?This should be deemed suspicious until the identify and circumstances are known.
Darn inflation. It use to be cheaper in the past for a human skull.
Not suspicious? In what state, city or US community is this not considered suspicious? People's heads just don't get stored away in a storage unit and later end up in a thrift shop.
I love how this story, in comparison with everything else in the news, is like a fun lil “well would ya look at that” type story 😂
Sure it’s a democrat trying to sell it
This week in Florida🙃😉😜😂
(Background: I'm an archaeologist)
Possessing human remains is problematic from a legal standpoint, and there is a big problem with black market trade in "artifacts" such as skulls removed from burial mounds (prehistoric through early historic on this continent). We can answer many questions about the individual depending on the environment and the level of preservation of the bones – and even more if they are found in situ (found in their original burial location). This skull could have ended up in that situation through a number of means (not necessarily from a looted grave) such as if someone had donated their body to science (after they'd died) and it wasn't properly kept. Just a quick video doesn't show enough to tell more.
The right move is calling the sheriff and getting the medical examiner involved – from what I saw the preservation is excellent and I suspect that the death was fairly recent. The Florida soil environment is such that preservation of bones and other biological materials is unusual and found only in certain contexts. From reporting, there are a number of things that will happen, including getting biological/forensic anthropologists involved.
This was handled exactly right. If you see human bones, call the police. They could be evidence of a crime, or possibly in someone's possession because someone else didn't follow the right procedures. The possessor may not realize that 'owning' bones like that is actually against the law, so I doubt that there will be consequences for them (especially if they report it and cooperate with the investigation).
I will create a game called Fiction or Florida and the player has to guess if the bizarre scenario is fictional or something right out of Florida 🙄
Disrespect and sickening there's a lot of sick people out there
