Human Skull Is Sent to Honolulu Mayor

A package with a cryptic message sent to Mayor Jeremy Harris has opened an ancient mystery.
Vicki Borges, Harris' executive assistant, was shocked Wednesday to find a human skull wrapped in newspaper inside the package addressed to her boss.
"This is the strangest thing we've ever received," she said.
The package also contained a note from the anonymous sender, apparently a former Marine who had been stationed in Hawaii in the early 1950s, Borges said. The man said in the note that he had taken the skull and now wanted to return it, she said.
The sender wasn't sure where the skull came from, but he believed it was from the Bellows area of Windward Oahu, Borges said.
Police took the skull to the city medical examiner's office, where it was determined to be ancient. More tests were to be conducted.
