Thousands of artifacts were recovered from an Indiana home. The FBI is struggling to find their owners.


(CNN) A Ming Dynasty vase, an Italian mosaic and the bones of hundreds of Native Americans have been sitting in an Indianapolis warehouse for years. The artifacts, which are part of the "largest single recovery of cultural property in FBI history," were found in 2014, the FBI said in a statement. A tip led the FBI's art crime team to a Waldron, Indiana farmhouse where thousands of artifacts from around the world and even the remains of hundreds of Native Americans were being stored. The artifacts were found at a Waldron, Indiana farm in 2014. Don Miller, the farm's owner, was a retired "scientist who helped build the first atomic bomb," according to the FBI.
