  1. Family members search for the graves of relatives at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Ill., on Thursday. Authorities say graves were discovered dug up and bodies dumped into unmarked mass graves in an alleged scheme to resell the plots. Lake County Juvenile Justice: Aaron, Ayryana, MarieChicago grave dumping allegationsVacation rental scams on the risePolice: Man held ex-wife hostage of digging up bodies at cemetery "Special Place in Hell" for Grave Robbers ALSIP, Ill. - Four workers at a historic cemetery that is the final resting place for many famous blacks have been charged with taking part in a scam in which employees dug up and dismembered bodies, dumped them into unmarked mass graves and then resold the plots to unsuspecting members of the public, authorities said. Carolyn Towns, 49, Keith Nicks, 45, and Terrence Nicks, 39, all of Chicago, and 61-year-old Maurice Dailey of Robbins, were charged Thursday with one count each of dismembering a human body, a felony. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said officers found "startling and revolting" conditions at the Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, a Chicago suburb ALSIP, Illinois (CNN) -- Four people face felony charges after authorities discovered that hundreds of graves were dug up and allegedly resold at a historic African-American cemetery near Chicago, Illinois, authorities said Thursday. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said the four would resell the plots in Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, excavate the graves, dump the remains and pocket the cash. "This was not done in a very, very delicate way, folks," he told reporters at a news conference Thursday. "They would excavate a grave and would proceed to dump the remains wherever they found a place to do it in the back of the cemetery. This was not moving graves; this was not replacing graves; this was dumping of them." In some cases, graves were stacked on top of each other, they "literally pounded the other one down," Dart said. In all about 300 graves may have been dug up in the cemetery, he said. Authorities identified those charged as Carolyn Towns, an office manager for the cemetery; and Keith Nicks, Terrance Nicks and Maurice Daley, all gravediggers. Each has been charged with dismembering a human body, a felony charge for which sentences range from 6 to 30 years, Anita Alvarez, Cook County state's attorney, said at the news conference. Steven Watkins, an attorney for Towns, said his client is innocent. "Somebody is apparently making false accusations against my client," he said. "She's maintaining her innocence." The Cook County state attorney's office said the other three charged were being represented by the public defender's office, and a message left at that office was not immediately returned. Bail was set at $250,000 for Towns and $200,000 for the other three, Alvarez said. None had posted bail by late afternoon Thursday, the sheriff's department said. Watch officials announce the charges » It was not immediately known if the four had legal counsel. Authorities began investigating the cemetery -- where, among others, lynching victim Emmett Till, blues legend Dinah Washington and some Negro League baseball players are buried -- about six weeks ago after receiving a call from its owners who had concerns about possible "financial irregularities" regarding the business, Dart told CNN earlier this week. "This crime, it's a whole new dimension," Alvarez said. Authorities also suspect that Towns pretended to set up a memorial fund for Till and pocketed the funds, Dart said. Watch sheriff discuss gruesome revelation » He told CNN that groundskeepers, who have not been implicated in the scheme, have said that the grave of Till -- whose 1955 lynching at age 14 helped spark the civil rights movement -- has not been disturbed. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was also at the news conference, noted the high-profile names of some of those buried in the cemetery, but said, "everybody here is special, and every family has special needs and special hurt, special grief." Most of the excavations occurred in back lots, where the plots were older and not frequently visited, Dart said earlier this week. However, other plots may have been disturbed, as well. The cemetery's current owners, who could not be reached by CNN for comment, have operated it for more than five years but are not believed to be involved in the alleged scam, Dart said. He said the workers may have doctored records to cover their tracks and noted that the cemetery holds all the records of who is buried and where. "There's virtually no regulations whatsoever (for cemeteries)," Dart said. "Most all of the documents and everything are housed here." Investigators are trying to determine the scope of the alleged scheme and plan to use thermal-imaging devices to further examine other graves to see if they have been tampered with, Dart said. The FBI, forensic scientists and local funeral directors have been called in to help in the investigation, he said.
  2. Dont care if its been posted. If it has it needs to be posted again. Shit is ridiculously retatarded. Awesome,,,,smash shish-ka-bob
  3. Does my tum look big in this? Im out. You guys have this one
  4. THOUSANDS of American men are hiding their bellies with the latest underwear craze – a male GIRDLE. We asked brave Sun reader Gary McMonnies, 26, to put the “mirdle” to the test. Before ... usual pants The assistant set designer, from Reading, Berks, donned a range of slimming undies by US firm Underworks. The first was a white Smooth & Firm Bodysuit. Gary – who has a 49in chest, 47in belly and 38in waist – lost two inches from each in the suit. But he said: “This was really uncomfortable. “I literally had to use a hanger to get into it because it was so tight I couldn’t move my arms to get into the sleeves. “I noticed the discomfort much more than the lost inches.” Next were the Zip n’ Trim pants with six-inch double-reinforced waistband and the Cotton Concealer Compression Tank. Vain This time he lost two inches from his chest and waist – and a massive FIVE inches from his belly. He said: “This was comfortable and I think it worked really well. After ...'tank & pants' “I felt least like a prat in this because you could just say it’s a vest and pair of pants. “I didn’t feel like a sausage squeezing into this and it gave real support. “I hate to say it but I’d consider buying it.” But overall Gary was not impressed by mirdles. He said: “I think it’s very far in the future that any bloke would actually go for this. “Any man vain enough would get off their fat butt and go to the gym. “But if you had a wedding coming up and you didn’t want to look like a fatty this would be great. “The main downside is they compress everything – so I would think about padding out downstairs to look more manly!” Nash Abi, owner of Underworks, said: “Men’s compression garments are an overlooked niche in the marketplace. Advertisement “And few men will go into a regular store and ask for a ‘girdle’ – much less try one on. “Our website gives them the privacy they need to search for, select and purchase items.” Market researchers Mintel said sales of male underwear were worth about £683million.
  5. HA sorry couldnt help myself there was just a 5 min story on this shit on the news on all the euros are wearing this shit to keep their guts in and hence, get more pussy. Or dick would be more likely. YES ANOTHER BIG OLD NOOOO HOMO

  7. Is how this newscaster woman put it. Seriously who the fuck would wear one of these??? Euros, I think the whole clean train/freight arguement is out the window on this one. Ya and a BIG OLD NO HOMO ON THIS. If thats even possible at this point. And if i found out anyone i knew was wearing one, id never talk to that person again.

  11. Well whats wrong with that? Isnt the point to win? Not hating at all but seems like the smart thing to do. And im sure these guys all get extra $ for winning the cup with bonuses and all that shit. Im going to miss havlat. He wanted to stay and take a cut to win. Hawks just didnt want to sign a risky player for 6 years. If he didnt take those 2 hits this conversation might be completly different. Good luck to him. Hawks are 4-1 to win the cup. I was hoping id get better odds than that. Their power play is going to be siiiiiiick.
  12. Props to you for running home and getting on 12oz to tell everybody about it.HOMO shit
  13. I thought this was a voice disguiser or something. Anyone know where i can download one of those??
  14. And i hope that heroin tat is very visible for future job interviews. And thats the only paint can that kids ever paid for. Look at that cap on that can! That must be some new double gold fat cap nobody knows about yet. shits huge
  15. SF in San luis obispo??? haha This page is great. That failure tat is a perfect example of fail. They couldnt be any worse spread out. LMAO at that playboy tattoo if thats what it is.

Can you hook that up for me?? ha playboy with sunglasses?? that girl needs to do as much heroin as possible till her heart stops.
  16. I can kind of appreciate him taking the shots to a certain point. Shots on goal are shots on goal. Sometimes they go in. Being selfish with the puck is totally different. And i completly disagree with that line of toews, kane and hossa. Kane has yet to prove anything. I think he was -12 in the detroit series. And everyone was on his nuts after the hat trick vs the canucks i think. He blows, and has yet to prove anything. Lazy fuck. Doesnt backcheck or play defense at all. Aggravating. I could play better than him at this point. Again, i hope im completly wrong and he scores 50 goals next year. But i just dont see the hunger in him that toews has. I hear cambell might be out now also. Dont know how they would swing that, but sianara. Guy was not a presence on the ice in the playoffs, and not making the $ he was getting paid. Wish Marty was around still. Madden might end up on the pp. And i heard heatly is a possibility, pending he doesnt crash his car and kill another teamate. AND ED BELFOUR IS TRYING TO COME OUT RETIREMENT???? YA DAWG!!! EAGLE TILL THE WORLD BLOW!!!!!42 and pulling a chelios
  17. Man i hope im 100% wrong on HUET. I think he sucks balls. Had one good game. And i was hoping theyd make a move for a goalie, but i didnt see too much on the board as far as goalies go. Who knows
