LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas -- 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.
Thank GOD.
weird bit from article:
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."
Making it unique amongst all the counties and parishes in this once great country...
Indeed. And I hope they string the person who called in this hoax by their.....well....thumbs! That is a sick thing to do!
me too.
Pedophiles should always be shot ASAP
Or the cops needed an excuse to raid the house. I’ll just be happy if it’s a hoax.
There are no orphanages because the babies are aborted.
LOL.
If the FBI really was called in, then they are controlling the information now.
Me too....
Would the Feebies be involved on just the word of a psychic? Wonder if their presence makes the idea they needed an excuse more likely? Is the Houston area riddled with liberal judges who refuse to sign off on search warrants? If so. wonder how the heck a psychic could convince a bleeding heart lefty judge to issue a search warrant?
You don’t get a search warrant if there isn’t some evidence (like blood).
And of course they haven’t found evidence yet, they are waiting for the warrant.
I just pray that this turns out to be a false alarm.
Somebody is smoking something other than tobacco. I hope thats all this is...
I doubt if the feds would get involved at all until local authorities actually found something.
This no where near the Texas Mexican border. Not far from the Texas Louisiana border.
Probably sold it for beer money.
Not without attracting a huge amount of attention.
Exactly what I’m thinking. Maybe it could be a roost to lure law enforcement to another place while the bad guys do their thing. Yet why a search warrant if no bodies were found?
Property owner Joe Bankston said his daughter lives in the house with her boyfriend."This is like something out of a novel," Bankston said by phone.
He said there's blood on the porch and in the house because his daughter's boyfriend tried to commit suicide a couple of weeks ago.
Are you listening, Perry?
Jesus!
Where are the Texans?! Do they not know what they are descended from?
Be a nation again and take care of this. Dont just be a state and wait for that homo in D.C. to care!
I’m ready for secession myself! Cutting DC out of our lives could only be a GOOD thing!
Yep, the FBI comes to the early scene of a cult burial ground and all of a sudden there isn’t any evidence. That is why the feds where called in so early. Nothing to see, please move along.
Give me 800 million pesos, or I’ll send it back to you in pieces...
"He lived with us for a little while, but had to go to Michigan about a year ago for a court appearance and never came back," Bankston said. "Last I heard, he was in Ohio."
Maybe they'd better send a search party to his property in Ohio and Michigan, too.
That’s what my Mom asked when she saw it. I agreed. Unless these are just children from multiple, separate missing persons cases who were all the victim of a sicko or sickos.
About 50 mile NE of Houston.
Checked out the approximate location via Google Earth.
Not much out there.
Oh, and thanks Congressman Weiner for introducing me to yfrog.
Really? Do you believe that dozens of America children could go missing around Houston and we wouldn't have heard about it till now?
Thanks.
Of course not. But dozens of kids go missing from the country every few months. We are a mobile society.
“You just made me feel 100 years old”.
That wasn’t my intent at all but orphanages no longer exist. I found that out when we started an adoption process and I asked the agency we were using if we could go to one. Needless to say, they laughed. Children are kept at foster homes. Some of these home hold/take care of a lot of children. The foster parents are paid for this service. There are some juvenile detention type centers as well. But the term “orphanage” like you and I know don’t exist. Sad because although I know there were horror stories, at least children were kept together. Of course, there aren’t as many available children for adoption as one would think either. Many birth parents choose an open adoption and sign a contract prior to the birth (done via an agency and an adoption lawyer).
Children... such as aborted babies? That’s what I’m betting on.
Watching the video, LEO feels it was bogus call.
Rumor says psychic called in the tip.
Much ado about nothing?
Orphanages still exist, there are 2 right here in the town where I live. However they are much different than they were in the past.
bflr
The owner of the property is a truck driver.
Oh gosh, I just read your post and the one you were responding to.
This is horrible. One of the problems with sex offender supervision is that it is essentially worthless.
We have sex offenders in my town who can literally register their “address” with the sheriff as the “woods off (state road) 207.”
One of these sex offenders living in the woods near a college town about an hour from here and emerged to kill and behead 8 college students in their student housing apartments.
It is not at all unbelievable that this guy could have been capturing victims and either killing them where he caught them and bringing them to Texas or killing them in Texas.
We don’t need to have “supervision” for sex offenders. We need to have lower-level ones locked up until the lose they urge (at about the age of 90), and the more aggressive ones...who have killed or kidnapped...need to be dead. Formally and legally executed by their states of residence.
“There are so many “illegals” in and around Houston, how the heck would you know where a path could be?”
look on map
The illegals who savage my state on their way elsewhere typically take a more direct path.
use common sense. from where would these illegals have crossed the border and to where would they be going to end up in Liberty county? Once there why would they kill children???
I HATE all illegals sneaking though my state or staying here. Send EVERY illegal and their anchor babies back
but for this particular story it is quite a leap to say it is illegals killing and burying children in southeast Texas
That paragraph just popped out at me....and gave me chills.
I could SEE this happening when a sex offender is involved. They DO need lock-up. They never change and they will always try, try again till caught.
They are very cunning as noted by your post as to how they skirt around the address issue!
Word is that a Texas ranger has arrived with a search warrant so the property can be entered and searched now.
“Watching the video, LEO feels it was bogus call.

Much ado about nothing?”
The focus is off Weiner’s (D) weiner?
This really happened but was immediately hushed up because it makes the open border look bad?
A I saids they are not the kind of orphanage one thinks of as in the past. Both of them in my town function as group homes with their primary purpose being the reunion of families. They do however prepare children for foster care and adoption.
I have been looking for an update...is this a continuing story?
This area is in the Big Thicket of southeast Texas, a good eight hour drive from Mexico. No where near the border, and not near interstate highways, either.
Texas is a big place.
I hope it’s all a hoax.
HotAir is calling it a hoax.
See the update at the link.
Old crime, I wonder? As much animosity as I have toward those who spit on our sovereignty and pour across that border illegally, this does not have the feel of a crime committed by an illegal. More a homegrown serial killer (though perhaps of illegal roots!).
Disgusting that he would kill the most defenseless people he could find, children. I hope the SOB is still alive so the state of Texas can heap some misery on his ass before giving him the Big Jab.
Texas is in trouble. There are not enough Texans to hold the line.
Just wait till the same tactics you see in Mexico show up in Dallas.
Psychic's mass grave tip proves false
