Empty Grave May Lead To a Potential Lawsuit
ABC-30, KFSN-TV Fresno, CA, December 22, 2008
"93-year-old Hermina Zamora had a heart attack and died in 2005. Hermina Zamora was buried at the Mendocino Cemetery in Parlier. Her children became suspicious when they found Zamora's grave marker somewhere the family didn't ask for their mother to be buried... Lara (Zamora's daughter) said workers searched and discovered a body a few feet from where Zamora should be. Home video captured in December by the family shows an attempt to exhume that body. Lara claimed the cemetery wanted to cover up the problem and had plans to store whatever was found in a nearby shed... The family hired Attorney Gerald Schwab to file a lawsuit against the Mendocino Cemetary. Shwab: 'These cemeteries don't abide by people's religious beliefs and they need to. It's very important to people how their loved ones are buried.'"
