After landscapers found an old Mercedes-Benz convertible buried at an Atherton estate this past Thursday, a media frenzy grew around why it was hidden. Police Saturday completely excavated the car and sent it to a crime lab to help offer more details about the situation.
A former owner of the $15 million Atherton estate where a buried car was discovered Thursday had reported the vehicle stolen NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit.
The on-site investigation of a car buried in an Atherton backyard has concluded, with the vehicle excavated and fully removed on Saturday, Oct. 22. No human remains were found, despite cadaver dogs responding to the car.
