July 8, 2009 (ALSIP, Ill.) (WLS) -- More than 100 graves were dug up in the historic Burr Oak Cemetery, according to the Cook County Sheriff's office.
Five people, including a cemetery manager, have been arrested for allegedly digging up the graves and then dumping the remains to make room for new bodies.
Heaps of cement - cracked open burial vaults - lie in the cemetery. In the weeds behind them, sheriff's police found bones, headstones and other evidence that the dead were dug up and discarded like trash.
