This is precisely what the police feared: water. Humidity, the worst enemy of forensic science, because it erases exploitable traces and, of course, seeing a torrent of water escaping from the coffin, the investigators and the forensic scientists are completely discouraged.
Now that the coffin has been brought out of the ground, there's no turning back, anyway. And if water has erased the DNA, maybe another element will come to aid law enforcement, even though it seems that the murderer plays with an outrageous fortune since this crime.
The concrete casing is placed on the trailer of the truck that must transport the relic to a warehouse to start the forensic examinations. Once at the warehouse, the most delicate part of the operation begins: opening the concrete casing and then the coffin inside.

But, second bad news after the water: the top part of the coffin has collapsed, and there are only partly rotted wood pieces left. This is the worst scenario: water has penetrated not only into the concrete casing but also inside the coffin. The remains of Loreta Jones have been submerged for years in the water that infiltrated inside the coffin where she was laid to rest for eternity.
