In an interview with Bored Panda, a spokesperson of Opnieuw & Co said that the store has no idea how the album got to them. "We are a thrift store and we rely on donations to fund our social workplace (we provide refugees and people who can’t find a job with work). That means someone probably dropped it off at one of our shops in a box full of other stuff as well," said the spokesman.

An employee of the thrift store browsed the album and figured that it's probably not something hat someone would get rid of voluntarily. "We figured out the lady’s name through her press badge in one of the photos," said the spokesman. "Then, one of our country's national TV stations used their contacts and located her daughter in California. Nobody has any idea how the album ended up here."

Turns out Maria had died back in 2016 after being a Hollywood until the age of 87. Opnieuw & Co has contacted Maria's daughter and will return the album to her.
