TX - Childrens Bodies Found in Mass Grave *HOAX*

[BeanE]

Hoax or not, does not explain the hideous reporting...

Shockingly awful reporting. Hundreds of reporters, reporting rumors, never checking to make sure they had facts, and it included just about every major/national news outlet.

Liberty County Sheriff's Office spokesman Rex Evans says the department will now turn its focus on the tipster. Investigators say they believe the person who phoned in the information isn't from Liberty County but somehow had knowledge of the inside of the house.

I'm going with boyfriend or son.
Calling Vegas now! :great:

Glad this wasn't the Mass Grave that was found of 25-30 Children!

I'm calling son, as boyfriend is in the mental institution and I doubt highly they'd have such a response on that. lol

Maybe.

The Liberty County judge says nothing has been found at the Hardin-area home where someone claimed several bodies to be, and now a search is underway for the tipster who gave the false information.

They need to go to the mental hospital the boyfriend is in.

Yes, the media come off poorly in this, but law enforcement - well, this isn't their proudest hour either.

 

[Starry Night]

Walter Cronkite would not have reported this.....unless verified. Before the days of viral media.

 

[BeanE]

It wasn't the media who "oversensationalized" this. Blame LE for taking a crank call from a "psychic" and sending so many vehicles out there.

I blame the media 100%.

 

[laytonian]

going in google I see media that are still reporting bodies were found......they're going to be a little embarrassed

Most of what you see now, are the "regurgitators" and pay-per-click writers who just finished composing their stories from earlier media reports.

There's an "LE source" out there, as well as a "psychic", who each need to be charged.

East Texas deputies search property after tipster reports 'dismembered bodies' (KHOU)

Beware of tipsters!!!!!

What about the blood on the door and the foul odor?:waitasec:

A foul stench emanating from the house was found to be coming from piles of rotting garbage. And the blood found at the residence was related to an earlier incident, the source told the Houston Chronicle. Read more: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7599979.html#ixzz1OdztlEJN

 

[Helplessly Hoping]

This started with one media outlet, I believe. Now how on earth did every network and local affiliate report this without doing their own DD? Its beyond pathetic. How many families with missing loved ones were on pins and needles watching this unfold? I hope whoever instigated this gets whatever the maximum penalty is. :banghead:

 

[wfgodot]

The media were not responsible for sending LE on a wild goose chase. This was classic overreaction on the part of authority. A classic waste of taxpayer money.

 

[gibby207]

I didn't see your comment -- but I'd have given you a big THANKS.

Texas LE should be ashamed of themselves right now.

If anything... there's a sex offender on FB who shouldn't be so maybe we can alert that.

And secondly, I'm thankful there weren't dismembered children found. I'm not lying when I hoped there would be 25-30 solved mysteries tho.

Too bad LE does not respond this way for an real missing persons case...

 

[Ms Suzanne]

There is a thread for this here all ready.I'm sorry.I didn't see it.

The media who reported bodies of dismembered children had been found are 100% responsible. Even if a rogue LEO gave that info, in the good old days, journalists didn't report things unless they had 3 confirming sources.

Now they take carp off Facebook and Topix and report it. (Plus they misuse and abuse the English language, which I really detest. lol)

 

[katydid23]

So they found blood and signs of a crime and a dog hit , and now they want to arrest the pyschic?

Can Psychics be arrested ? Also can the homeowner claim unlawful search? I mean is a psychic enough in texas to get a SW because I sure would have used my psychic skills in Hailey Dunns case.:crazy:

Seriously. I think I just had a psychic vision flash before my eyes about Shawn's Grandma's root cellar. Maybe I should phone it in.

 

[gibby207]

It was on our station in WA, but with a big, BIG question mark. ??? lol

Amen!!!

 

[laytonian]

I blame the media 100%.

I blame the "law enforcement source" who confirmed to the media that bodies had been found.

"A law enforcement source confirmed that a mass grave with 'a lot of bodies' was found on the property near the intersection of County Roads 2048 and 2049."

Yeah, maybe all the investigators should just boogie on down to the Hailey Dunn home.
