A mummified monkey was found during the demolition of a downtown Minneapolis Dayton's.

Though no one is positive where it came from, Robbinsdale Mayor Regan Murphy said her dad stole a monkey from a Dayton's display in the '60s (then returned it shortly after), and a man who used to work in the building said a monkey escaped from the eighth floor pet store in the 1960s and escaped into the air conditioning duct.
