Police: No remains in car buried behind California mansion

ATHERTON, Calif. (AP) — Crews fully excavated a car that police said was buried in the backyard of a Northern California mansion 30 years ago and found no human remains. The convertible Mercedes Benz was discovered last week by landscapers in the affluent town of Atherton in Silicon Valley. Police said Monday that the car was removed from the home by a tow truck and transported Saturday to the San Mateo County Crime Lab for further inspection and processing. On Sunday, ground penetrating radar was used to examine the scene, and didn’t find anything suspicious. Police haven’t said who owned the car, which was reported stolen in 1992, or who might have buried it in the backyard of the sprawling mansion.
