PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — A Providence cemetery was the site of an FBI investigation Tuesday.

When asked by ABC 6 if the FBI was exhuming a body, the spokeswoman said, “I’m not going to characterize it that way.”

“To protect the integrity of the investigation, no further details will be provided at this time,” added Setera.

The FBI said there was no threat to public safety.
