Investigators dig up wrong body seeking to crack nearly half-century-old cold case

Authorities exhumed a body in a Connecticut cemetery Wednesday in hopes of identifying the victim of a nearly half-century-old homicide only to find that they'd dug up someone else's remains.

But East Haven Police Chief Joseph Murgo told WTNH News 8 they will keep investigating and try to pinpoint the victim's actual grave in the cemetery in Hamden.

Murgo told CBS Hartford, Connecticut affiliate WFSB-TV they hope to try again within two weeks.
