Police said at around 11:36 a.m., museum staff received a package that held two preserved fetuses inside a glass jar. It is unknown at this time where the package came from.

"I opened it up. There was a letter there that said this was a retired physician and he or she was saying they had these two specimens and that's basically it," Museum curator Anna Dhody said.
