PITTSBURGH — An infant’s skeleton was found in a suitcase by adult siblings cleaning out their elderly mother’s house after she died, state police said.
The siblings did not recognize the suitcase as their mother’s but said clothes found inside belonged to her, Trooper Lisa Jobe said.
The suitcase was found under a bed Saturday. The woman, who lived about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh in Hempfield Township, died this month. She was in her 80s, and her children are in their 40s and 50s.
Police hope a forensic pathologist can determine the infant’s gender and how and when the child died.
The woman’s husband died about three years ago, police said.
