Construction Crew Uncovers Hidden Bones | Mysteries Unearthed with Danny Trejo | #shortsAdded:
Buried secrets don't always stay that way.
>> It's the summer of 1989.
A construction crew is renovating the basement of a 150-year-old building in downtown Augusta. When one worker drives his shovel into the dirt floor, it hits something hard.
He reaches down and he pulls out a gigantic bone.
>> When officers arrive, they take one look at the bone and ask the crew to keep digging. And as they do, more bones surface. Parts of a leg, a fragment of a pelvis.
>> To help identify the remains, police call in forensic anthropologist Dr. Russell Moors.
>> Dr. Moors realizes a very chilling detail.
>> This building used to be part of the Medical College of Georgia. So the bones, they're the remains of cadaavvers used in early medical education.
>> Back then, dissecting human bodies was illegal, leaving medical schools desperate for a secret supply.
>> They pulled $700 together and purchased an enslaved man by the name of Grandison Harris. Officially, Harris was hired as a janitor, but in reality, he was a resurrectionist, which is to say that he was forced to rob graves, providing cadaavvers for the medical school.
