National Park Rangers looking for bad metal detectors, find body
From the National Park Service web site:
Vicksburg National Military Park (MS)
Artifact Looters Cause Extensive Damage At Monument
On the morning of May 6th, resource program manager Virginia Dubowy was walking in the area of the Texas monument, located at the southern end of the park, when she came upon a slough of dirt at the base of the adjacent fortification. She soon realized that the area had been vandalized by looters. In addition to the extensive damage found at the fortification, over 90 holes were found at the site. The Texas Monument, dedicated in 1961, recently underwent preservation efforts at a cost of $45,000. The fortification, one of nine major defenses established during the Vicksburg campaign, was the only one penetrated by Union forces and is in original condition. The Southeastern Archeological Center (SEAC) assisted the park with the investigation and damage assessment. A preliminary estimate for damage is in the area of tens of thousands of dollars. Local and national media outlets have been contacted and a substantial reward has been posted through Crime Stoppers for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the violators. The investigation also found that a ground sensor, set along a trail off a side road, just outside the park boundary, was stolen as the violators swept their way though the park using metal detectors.

Human Remains Found Along Railroad Redoubt
Park staff were working along the historic Railroad Redoubt on May 13th as part of the investigation into the ARPA violation at the Texas Monument when they came upon the skeletal remains of an adult with an obvious head injury in what appeared to be a shallow grave. A crime scene investigation was begun in conjunction with Vicksburg PD, the Warren County Sheriffs Office, the Warren County Coroners Office and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. Thirty investigators who were attending an advanced crime scene management class at the Mississippi State Police Training Center were brought to the site to assist the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation in processing the scene. The ARPA investigation has been halted until this investigation has been completed.
