The Lubbock Memorial Arboretum is a peaceful, beautiful location in Lubbock. It's a place more people should visit. And it's also home to a mystery right now.

On Wednesday, officials with the Lubbock Arboretum took to Facebook to ask the public for help. It seems as though someone snuck into the Arboretum at some point and buried something in the ground. They also used a paver to spray paint the name "Zoey" on the paver.

Officials at the Arboretum weren't happy about the grounds being used as a cemetery or a paver being used as a headstone. Arboretum officials asked that whoever the remains belonged to, "to come get them before they are disposed of".

One Facebook, most people agreed that remains shouldn't be buried at the Arboretum and some even speculated whether they were animal or human remains. Officials at the Lubbock Arboretum commented that authorities would be out on Thursday to investigate.

As of Thursday morning, no one has claimed responsibility for the burial.
