A mass grave has been uncovered at the former estate of a deceased KKK leader in Jackson, Mississippi.
FBI spokesman Adrian Cartwright said that the grave contained dozens of black torture victims, some with limbs and other body parts missing.
Jacksontelegraph.com reported:
Cartright said that the mass grave was uncovered when the current owner of the property was making extensive renovations to the house and needed to dig up the foundations.
“The current occupier was excavating the southern end of the property when he came across some leg bones,” Said Cartwright. “He notified local law enforcement who then called in the FBI once they realized the extent of the number of victims.”
Authorities state it’s still very early in the recovery and identification process, but they estimate the grave to be at least 50 years old and contain upwards of 10 bodies.
Eldon Lee Edwards a U.S. Ku Klux Klan leader owned the property from 1945-1953 although the FBI did not officially say it was him that was responsible at this time.
There are no telling how many of these folks murdered in the name of hate. They had the justice system on their side so they were able to get away with all the deaths. But they will pay in this life or the next you can believe that.
