Looks like the property owner's 19 y/o son may be the culprit. He is now in a military psychiatric ward.

Definitely dozen of bodies and some children.

"LIBERTY COUNTY -- Liberty County sheriff's deputies are on the scene of a home in Hardin where a tipster told them 25 to 30 bodies are buried.

A law enforcement source confirmed that a mass grave with 'a lot of bodies' was found on the property near the intersection of County Roads 2048 and 2049.

Some of them are children, according to the source.

The tipster said dozens of dismembered bodies are buried in the grave, according to Cleveland Advocate Vanesa Brashier.

The source is a psychic, according to another source in Liberty County.

Sheriff's deputies said they found blood on the scene and were waiting for a warrant to search further.

Property owner Joe Bankston said he's shocked by the reports of bodies on his property.

"This is like something out of a novel," Bankston said by phone from Dallas.

Bankston said his daughter lives in the house.

He said there's blood on the porch and in the house because his daughter's former boyfriend tried to commit suicide a couple of weeks ago.

"He got drunk and cut his wrist," Bankston said. "It took me all day to clean the inside of the house. I'm not sure I got it [the blood] all."

The boyfriend, an Army soldier who was AWOL, is now in a military psychiatric ward in Killeen, according to Bankston. He said a police report was filed with the sheriff's department after the suicide attempt.

Bankston said he's owned the property for a little over three years. He admitted his son, Joe, is a convicted sex offender, but said he hasn't lived in Hardin for over a year.

"He lived with us for a little while, but had to go to Michigan about a year ago for a court appearance and never came back," Bankston said. "Last I heard, he was in Ohio."

About 15 sheriff's department vehicles and at least one cadaver dog were on the scene Tuesday evening.

The Beaumont FBI has also been asked to assist in the investigation.

Texas Equusearch founder Tim Miller said they have been contacted and are on standby to provide equipment and other resources as needed.

"If the story is as it's being told, hopefully this will bring some closure to many, many families who have wondered where their children, or their daughters or their loved ones have been," Miller said"
