Woman surprised to find four urns that appear to contain remains in car she bought at auction

Andrea Davidson from Bonney Lake, Washington, bought a used car at an auction last week. Davidson said the 1997 SUV was packed with junk, which she wasn't allowed to go through before she purchased the car. She paid about $700 for the vehicle at Pro-Tow in Auburn, and then took it home to check the condition.



"As I cleared stuff away from this floorboard, that's where they were," Davidson said. "It was shocking. It was something you don't expect to find in a car. To find clothes or junk and trash is one thing, but to find somebody's urn and family members - it was a little bit different," she added.

Davidson found four urns buried under old photo albums, social security documents, a journal, and more. Three of the urns appear to contain human remains; the fourth, labeled 'Cha-Cha,' looks like it holds a pet, she said. "If I was to lose something like this, I would hope someone would take the time to reach out," she said. The car, she said, appeared to belong to a woman named Sasha Eddins.



Davidson had no luck contacting Eddins. Additionally, two of the urns have names on them: Dawna L. Kerr and Michael Anson Kerr. So far, the names haven't led to living relatives, Davidson said. "It's something I would want back," she added. Deepening the mystery: the car appears to have been serviced as recently as July, Davidson said. "It's stuff that people keep. Obviously they hold onto (it). It's not just stuff they throw away," she added. "Whatever happened to her, I hope she's okay."
