 In 2000, a Miami-based technology company was hired by the city of West Palm Beach to conduct a ground-penetrating radar survey covering a by area.The team performed the assessment with a subsurface interface radar, which was used to determine the locations of the bodies.The report of the survey indicated that a by trench was dug for disposal of the bodies, however the extension of 25th street "unearthed random bodies from the old pauper's cemetery, and it ran right through the north end of the mass grave trench."
