The remains of Confederate monument Silent Sam have been in hiding since protesters tore down the statue on UNC-Chapel Hill’s campus last summer. Now, a UNC student reporter says she found them covered in tarps at a storage area in Chapel Hill.

Charlotte Ix, a student reporter with UNC’s student radio program Carolina Connection, thinks she’s discovered the secret location of the monument’s statue, stone pedestal and base. 

Ix and her roommate went to a UNC storage yard off of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Chapel Hill last spring, Carolina Connection reported. It was dark, and she could only see a “shady figure covered in a tarp” on the other side of an opaque, barbed-wire fence, she said.

  1. Corrupt bastards. A new police chief was hired in Asheville.
    He moved to Asheville; thank God his family had not moved as
    of yet. Then the corrupt bastards started sticking it to him
    and he resigned. A duplicate of San Francisco. Asheville use
    to be very stable and traditional. Now it's a swines paradise.
