SACRAMENTO – A Natomas mother demanded that her daughter be exhumed and cremated after a Sacramento cemetery moved her grave without telling the family.
CBS13 and the Call Kurtis consumer investigative team began looking into this a month ago. Now, there is a new development.
When Sonia Rodriguez buried her 17-year-old daughter, Jessica Fraire, in St. Mary Cemetery in Sacramento 16 years ago after a drunk driver took her life, she thought that would be her final resting place.
“Of course, of course, yes, I thought that’s where she was going to be,” Rodriguez said.
But, Rodriguez noticed during a September visit to St. Mary Cemetery that her daughter’s headstone had been moved inches to the left of where it had been.
“As soon as I got out of the car, I saw, because she was directly centered in front of that bench and she’s way over to the left,” Rodriguez explained.
A green temporary marker shows a man, who died in April, is freshly buried there.
