HARDIN, Texas (AP) — No bodies were found Tuesday at a Texas farmhouse where a person claiming to be a psychic told officials multiple bodies were buried, a sheriff’s official says.
Liberty County Sheriff’s Capt. Rex Evans said there was no indication of bodies being anywhere on the rural property about 70 miles northeast of Houston.
Officials say the sheriff’s office had received two calls from a person who said dismembered bodies would be found. Evans said authorities took the tip seriously in part because the caller had details about the interior of the house that only someone who had seen it could have known.
He said authorities have a name and number for the caller and were working to track the person down. Asked if authorities thought the tip was a hoax, Evans said only that they found no bodies or anything to indicate a homicide had occurred there.
“We are going to continue our investigation and find out how this individual had this information in the first place,” Evans said.
He said no decision would be made on charges until the caller could be questioned and the district attorney consulted.
The investigation began after the sheriff’s office received a tip from a psychic who claimed that many bodies, including those of children, were in the house, said Liberty County Judge Craig McNair, the county’s top elected official.
A quick search Monday night turned up nothing, authorities said. But the tipster called back Tuesday morning to say deputies had the wrong house, Evans said.
McNair said deputies found blood on a back door and detected a foul odor coming from the house, leading to the search warrant.
“We have to take tips like this very seriously,” McNair said.
McNair said the owners of the home are apparently long-haul truck drivers who were renting the house to someone else. McNair did not have any information on the renters, but he said there was apparently an attempted suicide at the house a couple of weeks ago that could have explained the blood on the door. He did not know who was involved in the suicide attempt.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 7:31pmMy God if this is true, it is horrible. Lawlessness Leads to Anarchy. This country has been on a downward spiral of lawlessness for some time now…We all know that a boiler that has too much pressure will eventually explode. Let me suggest that this country has lost its way and are churning out citizens who expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter with little or no work. They expect to be treated with honor and respect when they have never been taught how to give it. They look at all that the world has to offer and if they don’t get it then the pressure begins to build. Or if someone attempts to take away what they do have then the pressure continues to build to unsafe limits. Unfortunately most people in this country would be horrified to lose all of their material possessions, because they cannot separate their life from them. Add to this the moral decline and the total disregard for the law and you have a recipe for disaster. Posted by Rev. Daniel W. Blair, Author of Final Warning

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 7:34pmAgree on this one, no info, no facts, no story. I would rather they had waited until there was a story to tell. Remember when Blaze and a bunch of news agencies kept saying that Gabrielle Giffords was dead? I live in Az and the local news had the story right, I kept telling everyone the news here said she was alive and speaking when she was airlifted, most people on here argued with me because the blaze and the LSM got it wrong.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 8:23pmIs this near any major city? Truck route? Sleazy town?
From what I saw briefly on the map, it does not seem to be near the border.
I ask about the other things as that seems to be the stalking grounds of serial killers…runaways in big city’s, hitchhikers on truck routes and hookers in sleazt towns.
