[YankeeFan]

Per FOX News flash.

Believed to be children.

WTF?

Edit: Story looks to be false.

Dozens of bodies have been found in a mass grave in Liberty County, officials said Tuesday.

The Liberty County Sheriff's Office said 25 to 30 bodies were buried at the intersection of County Roads 2049 and 2048 between Hardin and Daisetta.

The bodies are those of children, according to preliminary reports.

The FBI was called in to assist the investigation.

A drug cartel's work, perhaps?

I don't know, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they aren't the children of rich, white people.

If that initial report is accurate, there appears to be several homes nearby.

I just read this story in Texas Monthly a little while ago.

http://www.texasmonthly.com/preview/2011-04-01/feature

Unfortunately it's registration-only link. But there was a serial killer in Houston in the 1970s named Dean Corll. His accomplice killed him as the police were closing in, but they eventually connected him to, I believe, 32 murders -- or whatever number was one more than the existing United States "record" for a serial killer. According to the article, there were very good reasons to believe there were more victims, perhaps even dozens more, but there was also enormous political pressure to stop counting because it was already an embarrassment to the Houston Police Department and its shoddy police work.

I don't know the geography enough to know if the location makes sense or how old the bodies are. But I'm sure checking for a link to Corll is on the to-do list for the police today.

KHOU is reporting the bodies were found at a rural home. Don't know if drug cartel fits with that.

But Holy God, how horrible.

Reuters is now reporting the grave "includes children" not exclusively children.

OK ...

Liberty County officials said they have no evidence of "deceased persons" despite earlier reports of dozens of bodies found in a rural area.

Holy crap! 30 bodies to nothing?

FOX was talking about a "tipster." Maybe it was just a crazy person.

It was a psychic, according to Trace Gallagher. I guess that's all we need to know.

Houston Chronicle source says it was a psychic, too:

LOL. "I have a lot of friends, but I haven't helped anybody bury any bodies."

A neighbor said authorities were congregating at the home of Joe Bankson.

Bankson, reached in Dallas where he was travelling with his wife, said he did not know why police might be at his home.

Bankson and his wife are long-haul truckers who said they were en route to Georgia. They left Sunday, he said.
They have lived at the residence for three years, he said.

"I haven't killed anybody," he said. "And I have a lot of friends, but I haven't helped anybody bury any bodies."

But Ace was able to get in a jab against white people, so its all good.

In the spirit of Fox's own reporting, can we change it to "Fox News Now Reporting Glenn Beck Kills 10,000 Texas Schoolchildren With His Atomic Death Ray"?

To be fair, FOX did cite TV stations based in Houston in their reports.

FOX is just the first place I saw the news.

Ace is good enough to work for the Cleveland Advocate?

The Cleveland Advocate reported the house is near the intersection of County Roads 2048 and 2049.

The Cleveland newspaper said authorities were told that as many as 30 bodies, possibly belonging to children, were buried at the intersection of the roads between Hull and Hardin.

A cadaver dog has been brought to the scene to aid in the search.
