The neighbors of the recently deceased Leigh Ann Sabine were unaware of the unsettling murder case that would unravel when they went to retrieve what they believed to be a plastic skeleton from her garden.
Leigh had been informing her neighbors in the Welsh village of Beddau, Pontypridd for years that she had an ancient medical skeleton in her apartment, a reference to her previous work as a nurse.
The’skeleton’ was among the possessions of Leigh that were disposed of in a communal garden near her flat after her death in 2015. Michelle James, a neighbor, decided to retrieve the object and use it as a hoax on another neighbor.
The subsequent events are reminiscent of a horror story-style true crime.
Michelle and another neighbor began to open what they believed to be a corpse that was enveloped in plastic sheeting. However, they were shocked to find that it was actually a deceased individual.
