ATHERTON, Calif.—Police are digging into why someone buried a car in the yard of a multi-million dollar Northern California home in the 1990s and left unused bags of concrete inside.

Cadaver dogs alerted to possible human remains, but none had been found more than 12 hours after the car was recovered, according to Atherton Police Cmdr. Daniel Larsen.
Police believe the car was buried 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 meters) deep in the 1990s—before the current owners bought the home—but Larsen would not say what led detectives to that conclusion….
