Back to EpisodesBaby Auckland's Mystery: Centuries-Old Discovery
Description
In a shocking discovery, contractors uncovered a centuries-old infant skeleton in a Bishop Auckland flat, dating back to possibly 1726-1812. The baby, named Baby Auckland, was found wrapped in a newspaper from 1910, with carbon dating confirming his pre-Victorian era birth. The builder who found him was traumatized, and police are investigating the mysterious case. The baby, full-term but with unknown cause of death, was likely born in a church-run mother and baby unit that once stood on the site. A proper funeral is planned for this month.
