Skeleton in the Closet Unearthed in Manhattan Story

In New York, a Washington era secret closet discovered behind a wall near Franklin Square yielded a woman's skeleton. Historians link the bones to Katrina Lemke, the Van Vranken household duenna, who vanished after Anneke Van Vranken fled with midshipman Ralph Eggleston as Dutch and English tensions shaped early New Amsterdam. The tale ties to Meinheer Van Vranken and a hidden chamber with a sliding panel likely sealing Katrina inside.
