ETNA — Angie Godin never expected to see the top of her sister’s grave again.

Some time between Thursday night and Friday morning, vandals came to Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Etna and dug up her family plot, exposing one of the cement vault boxes containing the casket and leaving pry marks on the top.

The town sexton found the grave dug up early Friday morning and called Godin. When she came to the cemetery, it was a shock.

“I told my husband, I never thought I’d see the top of that again,” Godin said. “You think once you put them there, it’s good.”

The plot that was dug up had space for four graves. Three of Godin’s family members were buried there: her father, who died in 1994; her sister, who died in 2003; and her mother, who died in 2007. Godin believes it was her sister’s vault that was exposed and the vandals attempted to open.

The other two vaults were partially dug up, according to Godin.

Her son, Jason Godin, put a picture of the vandalism on Facebook on Friday afternoon. By Saturday morning it had been shared nearly 2,000 times.

The family is looking for leads to help solve the case. There are no active leads right now, Godin said.

“I can’t imagine someone being so sick,” she said. “They’re supposed to be resting in peace, and that’s not what happened.”
