LUMBERTON, N.C. — Robeson County sheriff's officials are trying to figure out who dug up a woman's grave in the 1100 block of Crawford Road.
Authorities found the desecrated grave, which is in a private, family-owned cemetery, around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Authorities did not release the woman's name.
