Sexton Found Drowned in Open Grave Before Promised Disclosure

The old sexton promised to tell her on Monday where the town buried the girl it claimed had “gone to relatives” in 1964, and on Saturday morning he was found drowned in an open grave.

Maeve Thorne can read the last feelings of the dead, but a girl sixty years gone is too long dead to hear, and the one living witness to where she lies turns up face-down in a flooded grave before he can talk.
