Mummified monkey found during renovation of old department store
Workers renovating the old Dayton바카라 게임 웹사이트s department store in downtown Minneapolis have discovered a mystery: the mummified remains of a monkey.
Crews found the carcass last week in an air duct on the seventh floor of the century-old building.
Cailin Rogers is a spokeswoman for the Dayton바카라 게임 웹사이트s Project, an office, retail and restaurant complex going into the building. She says developers don바카라 게임 웹사이트t know where the monkey came from or how it ended up in the air duct.
A historic site called Old Minneapolis posted a photo of the monkey on and solicited answers.
Alan Freed is one of the site바카라 게임 웹사이트s co-administrators. He says one likely answer came from someone who posted on the page saying a longtime Dayton바카라 게임 웹사이트s employee told him a monkey escaped from an eighth-floor pet store into the air conditioning ductwork in the 1960s.
Robbinsdale Mayor Regan Murphy told a similar story. His father told his mother, Monica Murphy, a tale from junior high wherein he and a buddy stole a monkey from the pet store at Dayton바카라 게임 웹사이트s.

They brought the monkey back to the pet store and released it, never finding out what happened to it.
"They went inside the store, they put the monkey on an escalator, and took off," Murphy told . "We've always wondered what the hell happened to that monkey."
