On July 2, 1951, Mary Hardy Reeser, age 67, burned to death in an apartment fire in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was found in a chair with only her charred skull, shrunken to a teacup size, a section of her backbone and part of her left foot. Even though the body was almost cremated, parts of the room showed little evidence of the fire. The FBI Laboratory examined some evidence at the request of the Chief of Police, St. Petersburg, Florida.
