55 Bodies Excavated at Dozier School

[GoLeft TV]

From Ring of Fire:

The Arthur G. Dozier school for boys had been the scene of terrible violence and a host to the brutal mistreatment of many, before its closure in 2011. This week, an effort by the University of South Florida to excavate the bodies at the site, some of which are suspected to be remains of victims of the barbaric treatment, has uncovered 55 bodies.

This is 24 more bodies than official records indicate should have been located at the site. To date, no criminal investigation has ever been conducted into the events that transpired at Dozier, despite allegations of rape, torture, beatings, and murder.

The total number of bodies buried at the school has not been determined, but the leader of the exhumation effort, the forensic anthropologist Erin Kimmerle, has said that it may exceed a hundred.

... with only 31 identities and causes officially known so far ...

Horrific
