More bones found, Ill. cemetery closed to public
The Associated Press
ALSIP, Ill. — Authorities are closing the grounds of a historic black cemetery near Chicago where four employees are accused of digging up bodies to resell plots after more bones were found on the property.
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said Friday that families can no longer wander through Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip to check loved ones' graves because more of its 150 acres are now considered a crime scene.
Dart says law enforcement and families alike have found more bones while walking around the cemetery, which is the burial place of civil rights-era lynching victim Emmett Till.
The suspects are charged with dismembering a human body.
Families still will be able file inquires at the cemetery. Dart says he hopes to reopen Burr Oak to visitors in five to seven days.
That headline was a bit inappropriate so I apologize but you don't get many chances to reference Randy Travis in the BYB. Reading this I couldn't help but notice this is pretty much the exact plot for the "Texas Chainsaw Masscare." Pretty spooky stuff. Plus cemetaries kind of creep me out anyway. It does remind me that Merritt and McIntosh thought the Chainsaw Massacre really happened. What a couple of goons.
