Her remains were found by her son in the backyard of their family home while doing renovations. He described the gut-wrenching moment on the stand Tuesday when he made the realization they were remains.

"I picked up the coconut object and it ended up being the top part of her skull…we looked back in the hole and saw teeth."

Bonnie Haim's bones were "falling apart" according to defense attorney Janis Warren, but her acrylic nails survived their 22-year internment. Warren questioned Medical Examiner Stroh why they weren't scraped for evidence.
