In the Hammond Daily Star:
The nine suspects now in custody are believed to have been involved in the ritualistic practice of molesting and raping children from 1999 to 2003, when the church disbanded.

Since arrests began taking place, little or no activity at the church could be seen, after the initial seizing of carpets and computers by crime lab workers and federal agents. Sunday morning, command centers were set up to guard the church after vandals spray-painted a message in outcry against the abuse of the children, sheriff's spokesperson Laura Covington said.
Law enforcement officers were back in full force at the church Tuesday afternoon with crime scene tape blocking the entrance to Deblin Square, a small neighborhood with several houses behind the church.

"The sheriff said there were cult-like activities involved," Covington said. "Some witnesses said the blood rituals took place inside pentagrams there at the church."
The pentagrams have been cleaned away, likely by the suspects involved, Covington said, who used solvents and are now reporting to police exactly where the five-pointed stars, usually made with alternate points connected by a continuous line and used as a magic symbol, were located.
Victims have said the suspects wore black clothing while the rituals took place. Covington said it's unclear whether the devil worshiping practices were actually aimed at praising Satan, or if they were for the sexual gratification of members. It's also possible they were used to instill fear in the victims, who range in age from infancy to adolescence.
Hammond is here.
Police have released awful details on the child and animal abuse and the FBI has begun excavation of the site in search of additional evidence. The UPN affiliate lists the names of the suspects and the specific charges against them. Among them is a former law enforcement officer.
Let's add the victims and the suspects to our prayer lists.

the real problem is the buisness men who use sadistic rights to prove allegiance. for generation politicians and officals would partake in bribes and dishonest dealings. it seems to me that the talmud is quite evil in itself, and that there is a further even darker movement originating from the same corrupt clergy and moneylenders. this is a wide spread network. their spiritual beliefs are in opposition to God. God who sent Jesus in his name to be our redeemer. and were at to be like Him, not the cold stones, and empty space. where as these jews wish to purge taboos and be as unfeeling as the cold stones.
