The car has been buried on the property since the 1990s, and it was reported stolen to the Palo Alto Police Department in September 1992.

Landscapers discovered a buried car in the yard of a home in the 300 block of Stockbridge Avenue in Atherton on Oct. 20, 2022.The Atherton Police Department held a press conference Friday afternoon. Few new details were released on the car that was filled with unused bags of concrete and buried 4 to 5 feet deep in the yard of a $15 million home on Stockbridge Avenue.

The department reiterated that while cadaver dogs have"made a slight notification of possible human remains," no remains have been found. The dogs"could be reacting to human remains, blood, old bones, vomit," said Dan Larsen, commander of public information for the Atherton Police Department."It could be any one of those things. At the moment, we don't know exactly what they're reacting to."

Technicians with the San Mateo Crime Lab are continuing to excavate the vehicle, which was identified as a Mercedes convertible. The car was buried with its top down. Larsen said the excavation team had already accessed the trunk; the space inside was filled mostly by the car's top and bags of unused cement. The focus is now on the passenger area, and the majority of it has been excavated, he said.
