Some remains of a 5-year-old girl murdered in Kansas City eight years ago and discarded in the desert are lost in the mail, Jackson County prosecutors said this week.

Family members_horrified at the prospect of losing more of Angel Hart's remains_demanded that California authorities not mail the girl's bones to Kansas City for burial.

"It's absurd that they would lose her again," said Tammy Jackson, an adult cousin of Angel who lives in Independence.

Kate Mahoney, an assistant Jackson County prosecutor, said she would fly to California today to take custody of the remains from the Imperial County coroner's office.

The remains may be buried without a rib and teeth sent to a Canadian lab for DNA testing, Mahoney said. The lab mailed those remains to California last week, but they have not arrived.

Angel Hart was killed in 1993 by Gary Christian, her mother's boyfriend. Christian drowned Hart in the bathtub of a Kansas City motel and encased the girl's body in concrete.

Two months later, Christian and Angel's mother, Angela Melton, and two other children drove west with the body in the car trunk. Christian dumped the body near the California-Arizona line.
