A century-old headstone was broken off and pushed over at a cemetery in Florida, one week after a building on the same property was vandalized.
Now, authorities and the community are spooked, saying they don't know who could've done this or why.
“We’re outraged that somebody would come and desecrate a grave," said Joyce Fletcher Menard, president and historian of All Saints' Episcopal Church's cemetery board. These are our pioneers. This is who set up Martin County. This is the people who came before us, and long after we’re gone, this is the history, and to mess around with that, the desecration is disgusting,” cemetery manager Rebecca Damberg said.“Here, the Raceys, the Sewalls,” Damberg showed.This took effort. This took purpose. This took time. This wasn’t accomplished quickly," Damberg said. "I don’t know why. I can’t answer that.
This is personal to me. Both of my grandparents are buried right there, by that headstone," he revealed. "Just somebody being sadistic and having no respect, no regard for people’s peace and respect.”They weren’t trying to do a burglary. They broke out the windows. There were things of value there to steal. They were left alone, and then it looks like it progressed. They didn’t get caught for that. It looks like it progressed into this vandalism,” Budensiek explained.
