the bones was first<br />
announced by Cape<br />

walking behind the<br />
graveyard spotted<br />
what appeared to be<br />
bones and contacted<br />
police.<br />
<strong>The</strong> authorities<br />
closed off the area<br />
and conducted an<br />
investigation. An<br />

Mysterious Bone Fragments<br />
Found Near Hebrew Cemetery in Sydney<br />
by Jack Columbus<br />
provincial medical examiner searched<br />
the area and found more bones. Professor<br />
Parish said from what he was able to<br />
determine he “ didn’t think it is a recent<br />
forensic case … a missing person or<br />
anything like that.”<br />
He said the location of bones can change<br />
as the ground shifts due to frost.<br />
Officials of the Temple Sons of Israel in<br />
Sydney were also contacted by police to<br />
see if they could shed any light on the<br />
case. <strong>The</strong> perimeter of the cemetery<br />
appeared to be undisturbed and there<br />
were no breaks or openings in the fencing<br />
surrounding it.<br />
AJC Regional Chaplain David Ellis<br />
inspected the site and said if the bones<br />
were definitely proven to be human they<br />
would most likely be reburied in the<br />
cemetery.<br />
