It started with a discovery in their back yard[/caption]
About two and a half feet down, they found a rolled-up rug buried in the ground.
She called the police to her house in Columbus, Ohio, following the chilling find, and after an initial investigation, homicide officers and two cadaver dogs were scrambled.
When the dogs began sniffing around, Katie said they immediately sat on the area with the rug.
Although this could be a sign of possible human remains, Katie pointed out in a video that it could also be from something as small as blood droplets from a bloody nose.
On Thursday, October 3, Katie shared a video with her 1.6 million followers showing her house cordoned off by police.
“There’s a tent set up with nine police officers, CSI in the backyard,” she told followers in the video. “They’ve blocked how far I’m allowed to even go.”
After making the discovery in her yard, Katie had put out a series of light-hearted videos joking that she thought her house might be haunted.
She said that her computer was broken, the screen had been shattered, and her desk had been thrown around, and she mentioned wanting a medium to come and look at the property.
“My laptop gets shattered in the middle of the night,” she said. “The Apple guy says it looked like it was elbowed or punched.
“The door was closed, and the laptop was in the room closest to the hole,” she added.
“I was like, ‘Oh my God. What the hell happened?’”
Initially, Katie thought that the rug would turn out to be nothing more than a pet buried by a previous owner.
In a previous video, she described getting in touch with the daughter of the home’s previous owner, who had been the only people to live in the house before her.
But they told her it wasn’t any of their pets, as all of their dogs who had passed away had been cremated.
The previous owners of the home are in their 90s and live in assisted living.
In a statement, Columbus Police Department said that the investigation is ongoing, and there are no conclusive findings at this time.
“CPD held the scene overnight and the officers resumed the investigation this morning,” the statement read.
