In an effort to locate her, Cage-Toaster’s parents put up missing-persons signs throughout the city and provided authorities a detailed description of their daughter. Cage-Toaster’s parents were informed this past September that their daughter had actually been found five months after she was reported missing. A mix-up by local police led to Cage-Toaster being buried as a Jane Doe. Wayne County officials are planning to exhume the body for a proper burial.
