GRAVE ROBBERIES SOLVED, CULPRIT APPREHENDED

From the Pittsburgh Press:

Police were stunned last evening by an anonymous tip that led them to the home of Sarah Lockwood, 433 Anderson Street in Sewickley. Once they arrived, they discovered a gruesome scene in the victorian mansion-style home. Lockwood (57), had been chained to a pillar on the front porch, with a note indicating she was responsible for the recently-reported grave robberies and tampering at a Sewickley memorial park. On investigation, police discovered the remains of no less than 23 people, some on the first floor, laid neatly into rows, but most, in the basement of the home, strangely posed around the room, as if alive and performing different tasks. There were also signs of a struggle in the home, including scorch marks on several walls, and a hole apparently punched clean through the stairway leading to the basement, where the majority of the remains were discovered. Lockwood herself also had bruises consistent with an altercation. On interrogation, Lockwood identified herself only as "Maledictus" and informed police their agents had failed to do her real harm, and that the dead would rise again to do her bidding. Police took her into custody and alerted the PTA to possible paranormal activity, and both agencies continue to investigate. Authorities, however, are still not able to determine the exact method by which Lockwood had moved the remains from their graves to her basement without any traces or notice by other nearby residents. Neighbors interviewed did report seeing streaks of yellow light emanating from the home, along with the sounds of battle, earlier in the evening. Finally, police sources also reported that their investigations had shown that even more remains had been tampered with, but some, including those of noted researcher Nicholas Brundle (d. 2008), appeared to have been replaced in their resting places by whomever battled with Lockwood and alerted the police to her activities. PTA director Martin Gregory indicated that a second investigation will be opened regarding the identity of the individual who discovered and put a stop to these events...
