Did you party in Hinton in the late '60s or early '70s?

If yes, did a skull happen to appear at any of those shindigs?

It may be a strange line of questioning, but it's what the Hinton RCMP is asking after the Groeneveldt family discovered a human skull while cleaning out their garage. It is believed to have been the property of the former homeowner, Leo Groeneveldt, who passed away many years ago.

According to a RCMP press release, family members believe Groeneveldt came into possession of the skull during a party he attended in Hinton in the late '60s or early '70s.

In hopes of determining the origin and identity of the skull, the RCMP is asking anyone who recalls attending a party where a human skull was passed around, to contact the police directly (780-865-2455) or call Crimestoppers (1-800-222-8477).
