Elderly man's skull delivered to family in Hellmann's mayonnaise box by cops almost two years after he vanished
Police reportedly left family members of an elderly missing person in shock when they sent their grandfather's skull in a Hellmann's mayonnaise box. Authorities had reportedly found the skull in a rubbish dump. The head was initially believed to have been of a 40-year-old local woman who had gone missing from Rio Negro in Argentina.
When forensic examination was conducted on the severed head, it turned out to be Luis Sosa's head, a man who had been missing from his home since January 10, 2019. The man's family had reported him missing nearly 20 months ago and while officials had alerted the family about his newfound remains, they had told the family that the remains would not be sent to them until investigation in the case had been completed. The family said that they were left disappointed by the officials' statement as they did not receive any further details about his case. Suddenly, one day, they received a suspicious package and were appalled at its contents.
The family, in a statement, expressed their shock when they found that a man's skull was delivered to them in a mayonnaise box like it meant "nothing" to the authorities. The remains were reportedly packed in a Hellmann's mayonnaise cardboard box and its edges had been sealed with tape. Sosa's granddaughter, Veronica Sosa, posted a picture of the box on social media with the caption: "Can their treatment of you be more rubbish?" according to the Sun.
"One year and eight months waiting for you and looking for you, and they deliver you as if you were nothing! Like this! In a box of mayonnaise." the granddaughter added. Veronica continued, writing that she had only one motive for posting the picture of the box and that was to denounce the legal system of the country.
“So people can see the pieces of sh*t that we have in control of our legal system," she wrote. "We are only a number to them and those that do not stay quiet are regarded as a nuisance! You are going to have to keep working Mr District Attornies because, I am not going to stop until I know what happened to Don Sosa, my grandfather! When I find out you will not have any place to hide. Luis Sosa was made to disappear!” Veronica said that the circumstances of her grandfather's disappearance and the eventual tragic discovery meant that there was foul play involved. She insisted that he did not allow himself to “die in a garbage dump.”
“Luis Sosa is not a skull. Something happened to Luis Sosa,” the woman added.
Reports state that the burial of the grandfather, believed to be in his 70s, has not yet taken place because the family has not received a death certificate from authorities yet. It is also not yet known whether the family will take any legal actions against the authorities over the horrifying manner in which Sosa's remains were delivered to them.
