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.
This is enough to get a search warrant? Really?
WHo the heck takes psychic tips seriously?
A psychic's tip, a little blood on the exterior and the scent of cow manure from the nearby field in this rural location(1).
"Oh, but there was
blood!"
Yep, nobody in a ural area has cleaned game on their porch.
(1) This assumes the LEOs just didn't make up the "foul odor" the same way other unprovable odors waft in and out of police reports.
