The Case of the Disappearing Brandy

Posted by Kelly Meyer on

When a time capsule was buried in Somerton, Arizona, in 1985 it contained letters from Somerton residents, photos, a VHS tape, a 1981 time magazine with a picture of President Reagan on the cover and a bottle of Mexican brandy.

When officials in Somerton opened the time capsule this past weekend, they discovered that the bottle of brandy was missing. 

The Somerton street and solid waste sueprvisor, Pancho Soto, was part of the crew that buried the time capsule.  He said he was surprised when it was opened and there was no bottle of brandy.  He says it was there when the crew buried the capsule. 

No word on whether or not Soto had a guilty look on his face.
