WEYERHAEUSER — The younger brother of the baby whose 1925 grave was dug open and casket and remains stolen says the robbers are pretty low-life.

Don Locke of Weyerhaeuser says he has no idea why someone would have dug up the remains of his older baby brother identified at the grave as "Baby Locke." He says the crime is just strange.

Investigators believe some teens opened the grave at a cemetery near Cameron sometime late Sunday or early Monday perhaps to recover a skeleton or some bones for Halloween.

Seventy-eight-year-old Don Locke says the Baby Locke grave is in the family plot at the cemetery where his parents are also buried. He wants the remains returned and reburied.

He says he believes his brother was a full-term baby and may have died of diphtheria.
