A year after a fire at a Brooklyn building—and days after the building's sale—a woman's skeleton was discovered in a charred suitcase inside. Though the suitcase was found last month, police aren't sure when or how it ended up in the building, the New York Daily News reports. The skeleton appears to have belonged to a young black woman, about five feet six inches tall, Fox News reports. Police are asking the public for any information. (More skeleton stories.)
